🦌 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

📈 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.

Looking at past data, the 2008 cicada emergence was followed by a strong turkey harvest in 2010. The same happened

🎃 News on Kentucky’s “River Monsters”! 👻 Good news this Halloween week for one of Kentucky’s creepiest—and coolest—critters: the Eastern Hellbender. These slimy salamanders might look spooky, but they’re a vital part of our river ecosystems.
