Kentucky Elk Hunting Unit 5 (Elk Management Zone)

Unit boundary

Simplified for the web from the public layer of Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (source and terms). Units change with each season's regulations, and the legal boundary description in the regulations is what counts.

Legal shooting light this week

Kentucky's general big-game hours: 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset, worked out for the middle of the unit (37.198, -82.927) on local time. Times can be a minute or two off at the unit's edges.

Turkey, waterfowl, some public lands and opening days have their own hours. Always check the Kentucky regulations for your species (where this rule comes from).
