RICHMOND, Ky. (LEX 18) — The Blue Grass Army Depot is opening its gates for public hunting for the first time in almost six years.

Due to chemical operations and safety reasons, depot hunting has been closed to the public since 2018.

Beginning on January 20, 2024, the depot will be open to the public for Kentucky's small game and waterfowl hunting seasons.
