It’s always a good idea to practice firearms safety — and sharpen your shooting skills — before hitting the field. That’s exactly what our Conservation Education staff did with campers who participated in the recent Greenwing Waterfowl hunt right here in the Purchase Region. It all started with time on the range, focusing on safe firearm handling and practicing on clay targets before hitting the field. Check out the great shooting by these young hunters — pretty impressive! 👏 We love seeing the

Talons locked and spiraling toward the ground 🦅 This rare behavior—captured by an outdoorsman in Shelby County—shows two bald eagles locking talons and descending together. While it can sometimes be related to territorial disputes, this dramatic display is most often part of courtship. Bald eagles mate for life, and these aerial interactions help test strength, agility, and compatibility before committing to a lifelong partnership. Moments like this highlight one of Kentucky’s great wildlife su

🦌 Bluegrass Collared Buck Makes an Appearance! Check out this recent video of one of our GPS-collared deer that’s part of ongoing research in the Bluegrass Region. This healthy 3.5-year-old buck was first collared last year as a 2.5-year-old, and he’s made an impressive jump in size since then! This deer is helping us study how deer interact with roadways, especially along the US 60 and I-64 corridors, through a cooperative project between KDFWR and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. 📡 Each

Our biologists have been collecting hellbender eggs from wild streams and hatching them in captivity, where survival rates are much higher. The

📈 Could this be the boost Kentucky’s wild turkeys have been waiting for? This hen and her six poults—captured just recently—are a welcome sight, and they may represent a bigger trend on the horizon. In 2025, much of Kentucky experienced a significant cicada emergence. That’s good news for poults, which rely heavily on high-protein insects like cicadas in their first weeks of life. Looking at past data, the 2008 cicada emergence was followed by a strong turkey harvest in 2010. The same happened
