Conservation and Purpose

Friday, 03 April 2009 23:08

"It is axiomatic to say there will be no hunting and no fishing unless we, the people, demand
conservation. We are not aiming at the European idea of conservation, where there are great
preserves for the use of a few individuals. What we are striving for in this country is to preserve
our animals, birds, and fish so that the average American can get an opportunity for life in the
open."
--Theodore Roosevelt

LKS LOGO

Individuals who were concerned with the proper management of Kentucky's wildlife and natural resources, both game and non-game, formed the League in 1935. The League is a nonprofit, conservation/education organization comprised of individuals and state, local, and national affiliate groups working for the wise use and proper management of Kentucky's wildlife and of the state's renewable and non-renewable natural resources. The individual and group affiliates comprise the overwhelming strength of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen, known as the "umbrella organization" for all whose enjoyment is in any legitimate way related to hunting, fishing, fur-taking, shooting, and the conservation of the Commonwealth's natural resources.

Legislature approves two-day bear-hunting season

For two days next December it will be legal to shoot bears in three eastern Kentucky counties. Folks, the League has helped make history in the last week with our past few years of hard work. The Resolution that came forth from the 7th District has finally happened.  Kentucky now has a bear season that we have pushed hard for over the past 3-4 years. The League was the only group that has  fought this from the beginning to the end. 

Thanks to all of our members - Rick Allen
