What it's worth: One reduced-cost licence covering hunting, fishing, all deer, turkey, waterfowl and trout permits
- ONE licence covers the Combination Hunting and Fishing Licence, ALL Deer Permits, Spring and Fall Turkey Permits, the Migratory Bird and Waterfowl Permit, and the Trout Permit.
- Most states discount the licence and charge separately for permits. Kentucky bundles them, which is where the value is.
- The gate is at least 50% service-connected disability, verified by VA documentation.
- The authorisation is valid for THREE YEARS, so the paperwork is done once every three rather than annually.
- The price is not published on the pages reviewed, so none is asserted here.
- Kentucky residency is required.
Who is entitled to it
