Kentucky’s Annual Grayson Lake WMA Youth Deer Hunt Successful Again
Anderson County, KY –-(Ammoland.com)- Eighty-nine youth took 27 deer during the annual Grayson Lake WMA youth deer hunt over the Nov. 5-6 weekend. The hunt was open for either sex deer, but 20 of the deer taken were antlered bucks indicating the rut was well underway.
Large bucks were not in short supply either, as seven had eight or more points or antler spreads of 15” or larger. The largest buck taken was a nine-point with a 17.25” antler spread killed by Jordan Lawson of Corbin, Kentucky.
The great majority of youngsters participating saw deer while hunting and many fond memories were made. The hunt is open to youngsters under 16 who are accompanied by an adult.
Youths under 12 are not required to purchase a hunting license or deer permit and do not have to have passed a hunter safety course to be eligible for the hunt. The hunt is open sign-up with no qualifying youngster turned away. Ample acreage is available in the hunting area and all youngsters are invited to participate next year when it is once again expected to be held the first weekend in November.
