Get a Hunting or Fishing License in Boone County, KY
Here's what to expect at the County Clerk — fees, what to bring, and where to go.
In Kentucky, hunting and fishing licenses are sold through one Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife system — the same online portal and account cover both, including the discounted Sportsman's License. You can buy three ways: online at app.fw.ky.gov, by phone at 1-877-598-2401 (1-877-KYTAG01), or in person through a license agent (sporting-goods stores and other retailers; find one with the KDFWR agent locator). Youth under 12 need no license to hunt, and youth 15 and under need no license to fish.
It varies by county. Some Kentucky county clerks still sell hunting and fishing licenses in person, while many now direct residents to the online portal, the phone line, or a nearby retail agent. Call (859) 334-2108 to check whether this office sells them.
