The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will open two new wildlife management areas totaling 1,400 acres in western Kentucky, just in time for this year’s spring turkey season. Both properties will be open under statewide seasons and regulations for spring and fall hunting. The properties include Gabbard Branch WMA, 809 acres in Butler County. Located about 12 miles downstream from Lock and Dam 5 on the Green River, northeast of the mouth of Little Reedy Creek. Also Ferguson Creek WMA in Livingston County. Located immediately south of the Cumberland River near its confluence with the Ohio River. For all the regulations for spring turkey season, please see the Spring Hunting Guide online at fw.ky.gov, or pick up a printed copy wherever hunting licenses are sold.
