Waterfowl hunting looks good in state- Kentucky.Com

Breeding conditions in the northern Great Plains states and the Prairie Pothole region of Canada were dismal last spring. That would normally spell poor hunting for Kentucky waterfowl seasons, which opened Sunday for Canada goose and will open Thursday for ducks, but this could be an exceptional year.

“We have a lot of ducks in west Kentucky right now,” said John Brunjes, migratory bird biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “The Mississippi River flooding this past summer in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois may have caused less food availability up north and pushed them here.”

Ballard Wildlife Management Area in Ballard County has been a waterfowl hunting mecca and is a good bellwether for the season.  Full Story!
