Possible Closure of Kentucky’s Ballard WMA
Ballard Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Ballard County is subject to closure this weekend due to rising river levels and possible flooding. Waterfowl hunters planning to visit Ballard this weekend should first call the WMA office at (270) 224-2244 to verify that the area will be open for hunting.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, an agency of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, is responsible for the conservation of fish and wildlife resources and for boating projects in the state. A commissioner appointed by the Fish and Wildlife Commission heads the department. The commission, which is responsible for department policy, is a nine member bipartisan body appointed by the governor from a list of candidates voted upon by sportsmen's organizations in each of nine districts.
