This record does not carry 2 regulations the state has. The declarations below are the record's own words.
kind: map — description: A county map of the four deer zones, covering most of the page. **Zone determines the bag limit** — Zone 1 is unlimited antlerless, Zone 4 is two deer — so a hunter cannot use the bag-limit rows without knowing which zone their county is in, and the county-to-zone assignment exists only in the map's colouring. The CWD Surveillance Zone outline (see p.13) is on it too.
kind: cross-references — description: Two bodies of deer regulation the published footnotes name and this page does not contain. (1) The ** footnote says 'See CWD section for testing requirements' — so the CWD Antlerless Season published here carries requirements stated in a section this extraction does not read, and what they are is not asserted here because this page does not say. The same footnote scopes that season to 'Zone 1-3 counties within the CWD Surveillance Zone', which is resolvable only against the zone outline the footnote's own legend refers to p.13 for. (2) The *** footnote on the Season Dates column head says 'Please see box on page 11 for a note about pending new antlerless seasons' — so the source itself warns that the nine season rows published here may be added to, and page 11 is not read. **A hunter cannot rely on this table being the complete list of antlerless opportunity; the page says so and this compilation carries the warning and not the box.** Folio 11 was rendered to check that the box exists rather than assume it: it does, headed 'New antlerless seasons?', and it says the proposals are pending and hunters should verify status at fw.ky.gov. **AND THE SAME PAGE QUALIFIES THE ANTLERED CAP THIS EXTRACTION JUST RECOVERED.** Folio 11's BAG LIMITS prose states the cap independently — 'a hunter may not take more than one deer with visible antlers per season' — and then prints an exception the p.12 chart does not: 'on some federally controlled areas, a bonus antlered deer may be taken, as determined by the governing agency for each area', naming Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge, Fort Campbell, Fort Knox and Blue Grass Army Depot. The rule row published from this page says 'regardless of zone or method', which is what p.12 prints and is not the whole rule. Carrying the cap and not its exception is a smaller instance of the defect that took this state offline, so it is declared rather than left for the next reader to find.

Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.
Open the source document → https://fw.ky.gov/Hunt/Documents/huntingguideentire.pdf#page=12If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.
Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [limit_or_quota='bag limit', disease_or_bait='CWD']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
overOVER: a restriction/requirement this record does not carry [prohibition='may not', obligation='requirement', limit_or_quota='BAG LIMIT', disease_or_bait='CWD', not_an_entitlement='cannot rely on', supersession='pending']; the gap ALSO names an opportunity it does not carry [extra_allowance='bonus antlered'], so it errs both ways and the dangerous direction is reported
unknown1 page boundary/boundaries beside the cited range were never inspected. A table that continues past a citation loses whole rows — the missing rows could be further seasons (under) or the restrictions on the ones published (over), and this is the check five states went OFFLINE for skipping.
carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
2026-2027 Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide, p.12 (folio 10), "DEER HUNTING ZONES and SEASONS"
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
derived Kentucky declares 2 gaps, of which 2 are regulation this compilation does not carry.
map
A county map of the four deer zones, covering most of the page. **Zone determines the bag limit** — Zone 1 is unlimited antlerless, Zone 4 is two deer — so a hunter cannot use the bag-limit rows without knowing which zone their county is in, and the county-to-zone assignment exists only in the map's colouring. The CWD Surveillance Zone outline (see p.13) is on it too.

Who does have it
Not us. Kentucky’s agency publishes the document this record was read from, and that document — not this page — is where the material above has to be chased:
https://fw.ky.gov/Hunt/Documents/huntingguideentire.pdf#page=12Where the description above names some other document, register, office or telephone number, that naming is the record’s own and is printed in full above. Nothing here has followed it up for you, and nothing here has re-typed it.
cross-references

(1) The ** footnote says 'See CWD section for testing requirements' — so the CWD Antlerless Season published here carries requirements stated in a section this extraction does not read, and what they are is not asserted here because this page does not say. The same footnote scopes that season to 'Zone 1-3 counties within the CWD Surveillance Zone', which is resolvable only against the zone outline the footnote's own legend refers to p.13 for. (2) The *** footnote on the Season Dates column head says 'Please see box on page 11 for a note about pending new antlerless seasons' — so the source itself warns that the nine season rows published here may be added to, and page 11 is not read. **A hunter cannot rely on this table being the complete list of antlerless opportunity; the page says so and this compilation carries the warning and not the box.** Folio 11 was rendered to check that the box exists rather than assume it: it does, headed 'New antlerless seasons?', and it says the proposals are pending and hunters should verify status at fw.ky.gov. **AND THE SAME PAGE QUALIFIES THE ANTLERED CAP THIS EXTRACTION JUST RECOVERED.** Folio 11's BAG LIMITS prose states the cap independently — 'a hunter may not take more than one deer with visible antlers per season' — and then prints an exception the p.12 chart does not: 'on some federally controlled areas, a bonus antlered deer may be taken, as determined by the governing agency for each area', naming Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge, Fort Campbell, Fort Knox and Blue Grass Army Depot.

100.0% of drawn table cells, date blocks, and every word outside one — 554 units, of which 182 are consumed by a published row and 372 are classified not-data, and the great majority of those 372 are single county names lifted off the zone map. THIS 100% IS NOT COMPARABLE TO A STATE WHOSE UNIT IS A TEXT LINE: it is 100% of a corpus whose denominator is dominated by map labels
derived: this percentage is over the units named above, on the pages this record cites. It is not a percentage of the state's regulation. The gaps above are what a full percentage would have to count and cannot.
The Booklet is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
