Greenup County deer and CWD rules
CWD zone rules do not apply in Greenup County; Rockcastle County, about 112 miles off, is the nearest county where they do.
Carcass rules still matter: whole deer and high-risk parts may not leave a zone county or enter Kentucky from another state. KDFWR allows deer baiting on private land outside the zone, which includes Greenup County, but not on public hunting land.
Want a deer checked for the disease? Statewide testing is free by drop-off or by mail.

Small game and birds
Greenup County uses the Eastern Zone dates for rabbit and quail, November 1 to November 13 and November 16 to January 31. Greenup County is also in the Grouse Zone, so ruffed grouse are open from November 1 to February 28, 2027. River otter rules put Greenup County in Otter Zone 2; no more than six of the ten-otter limit may come from Zone 2.
The September Canada goose season here follows the Eastern Zone, September 16 to September 30, 2026, while ducks and regular geese are statewide. Duck season opens statewide on November 26, 2026 in two parts that end January 31, 2027.
