Welcome

​Anglers and waterfowl hunters can once again use their Kentucky resident licenses to fish or hunt certain waters shared with neighboring states, as new reciprocal agreements with several bordering states took effect Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, following adjournment of the Kentucky Interim Joint Committee on Natural Resources and Energy.

Kentucky finalized the agreements with several bordering states to allow each state's resident anglers and waterfowl hunters to utilize these shared waters using the license from their home state.
