Kentucky’s late muzzleloading firearms deer hunting season runs through Sunday, bringing the state’s final two days for any sort of gun deer pursuits for hunters — grownups, at least.
Sunday caps the nine-day late season for muzzleloader hunts. That is the lengthier, chilled follow-up to the initial muzzleloader season, the third weekend of October, which fell on Oct. 21-22 this year.
