Do you have to wear orange when hunting? and when does your calander year start and stop  If I buy a license for spring gobbler will it be good for the fall to. Here in Pa it's June

I hunt Ky... No Orange for turkeys... Not sure how an out of state tag works. I believe if you buy a annual hunting lic. It's good for 2 birds in the spring and 4 in the fall. Shadetree might know better as he hunt Ky with an out of state tag.

The licenses are good from spring gobbler all the way through deer season and fall turkey. $192 gets you a license and two spring gobbler tags. No orange requirements though it is a good idea when on the move. All day hunting allowed and i have taken a bunch in the afternoon in Ky, sometimes it is the best hunt of the day.

If you buy a KY license you can hunt on Fort Campbell Ky. It's about 50 miles outside of Nashville. You must have a post permit which is $50 for a cilivian. You can hunt Ft. Knox also, now the birds on Ft. Campbell are bonus birds. Limit is 4 spring gobblers and the Fall well I hate to say it but you won't shoot that many it's 2 per day. Hunting slot are hard to get due to they use a priority system and we are on the bottom. You can check out Fort Campbell MWR Hunting and Fishing page for information.

There are Timber rattlers in certain parts of the state.  Mainly the eastern parts in the mountains, and south central part of the state.  The more common snake to worry about is the copperhead.
