Chapter Maintained Taylorsville WMA Dog Training Area
August 20, 2021 by J.Dahl
Please check you KDFW guide for closure dates that coincide with spring turkey hunting etc. prior to making the trip. Our current agreement, with KDFWR, is only valid for 3 years. Then we hope it will be renewed. We are working with the Taylorsville Lake WMA officials to make sure we are not doing anything that would prevent renewal. During this trial period, we must follow the guidelines that have been given to us. Our success of creating this training area could be the model used for others around the state. SO, when you use it, PLEASE FOLLOW ALL THE RULES. When you leave, take MORE trash with you than you brought. Here are current rules set by the KDFWR for the Dog Training Area. THEY COULD/WILL CHANGE. RULES: 1. Dog training area is open to all legal WMA users. 2. The dog training area is designated by marked boundary signage reading "Dog Training Area". 3. Unleashed dogs are allowed year around, except for the following dates a. May 15th Through August 15th. b. Youth and Statewide turkey seasons. c. WMA quota hunts. 4. All quail are required to have aluminum leg bands. 5. All quail (with aluminum leg bands) shall be individually placed in the dog training area. 6. Immediately prior to dog training a person shall walk and examine the entire dog training area to ensure no wild quail are present. 7. A person using a Dog Training Area shall possess a bill of sale for any quail released on the area; and a captive wildlife permit, if applicable, pursuant to 301 KAR 2:081. 8. Users are responsible for the cleanup of all litter. 9. Do not clean harvested birds on site. 10. ATV/UTV's are prohibited. 11. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited on Wildlife Management Areas 12. Report game violations by calling 1-800-25-ALERT Comments: 1) The state has installed signs " DOG TRAINING AREA "around the perimeter of the dog training areas. Dog handlers must stay within the assigned areas. If birds and or dogs leave the area, the handler can leave the area to retrieve the birds and his dog, but he MUST LEAVE HIS FIREARM inside the training area, to do it. The dog training area only gives you permission to carry a firearm within the perimeter of the dog training area. You cannot LEGALLY carry a firearm outside of the dog training area, outside the legal hunting season. 2) There will be a sign at the parking area of the Dog Training Area, The current rules for the area will be posted. We will also have a picture showing where the different training areas are located. Any special notices and information will be posted here. Directions from Taylorsville High School: proceed up the hill on Hwy 248 and go approximately 3.5 miles past the entrance to Taylorsville Lake Sate Park. Turn right onto Crooked Creek Road. Go approx. 1.8 miles to parking area at the yellow gate. DO NOT block the gate. Park in a manner that allows access thru the gate for Official vehicles.
