1. Resident owners of farmlands, their spouses and dependent children hunting or fishing on their lands. This also applies to tenants actually engaged in work and residing on farmlands, their spouses and dependent children. To be classed as a tenant, a person must both live and work on a farm.
I have looked for definitions of "farm" in KRS however not found any
USDA defines farm as
Farm
Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for census purposes were first established, the farm definition has changed nine times as the Nation has grown. A farm is currently defined, for statistical purposes, as any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products (crops and livestock) were sold or normally would have been sold during the year under consideration. This definition has been in place since August 1975—by joint agreement among USDA, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Bureau of the Census.
a family farm
There is no generally accepted definition of "family farm," and a variety of definitions, implicit and explicit, have been used by Congress, researchers, and others. Some of these definitions are summarized below: 1. All farms except large, nonfamily corporations (U.S. Congress, 1985)
2. Farms with no hired manager; no nonfamily corporations or cooperatives (Salant et al., 1986; Hoppe et al., 1996)
3. Farms using less than 1.5 person-years of hired labor; no hired manager (U.S. Congress, 1985)
4. Farms with less than 3.0 person-years of labor; family supplying at least half of labor (Irwin, 1973)
5. Farms with less than 1.5 to 2.0 family workers and the same or fewer number of hired workers; buying and selling in the market; self-managed; tenancy not extremely high (Breimyer, 1991)
6. Farms where agricultural production is either the primary occupation of the operator (or is an important contributor to family income); that provide at least half-time employment for an operator, family member, or a hired laborer; and that are operated by no more than three extended families (Sumner, 1985).
Basically my question is if a resident of a few acres has a few chickens, a goat or two, a cow,a vegetable garden, and an established barn and watering holes for them does that resident fall into this exemption of who needs a hunting license? Or maybe he only has a garden... Such as other post on here that questions whether a person can protect his sweet corn from raccoons. I would understand that person doing what is necessary to control pest in his area be it by trapping, shooting the pest, or requesting some assistance controlling them from others.
Thank you for your time and knowledge and any assistance you provide would be great.
