By reading this I would say they don't expireKentucky’s Hunter Education Law states that all hunters, if required to purchase a Kentucky hunting license and born on or after January 1, 1975, must carry a valid hunter education course completion card while hunting. However, a one-time temporary hunter education exemption permit is available online at fw.ky.gov. This $5 permit allows hunting without a hunter education card for one year from the date of purchase. After it expires, the hunter is no longer exempt and must successfully complete a hunter education course. The permit is valid only in Kentucky, and is not accepted at Bluegrass Army Depot or Fort Campbell. (Resident landowners are only license- and hunter education-exempt on their own property. When hunting elsewhere, they must be licensed and comply with the hunter education law.) A bow hunter not in possession of a firearm while hunting may carry a valid National Bow hunter Education Program course completion card instead of the hunter education card. The hunter education law applies to all types of hunting. Hunter education cards obtained from other states are valid in Kentucky. Hunter education cards and temporary hunter education exemption permits are not required when buying a license or permits, but must be in the hunter’s possession while hunting. Course schedule information is available at fw.ky.gov or by calling 1-800-858-1549.Children under 12 years old are exempt from this law, and cannot take the hunter education test until they turn 9 years old. BUT hunters under 12 years old and those who have temporary hunter education exemption permits must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years old who meets the hunter education requirement. The adult shall be in a position to take immediate control of the child’s or exempted hunter’s bow or firearm at all times while hunting. This law applies even if the exempted hunter is an adult. One adult shall not accompany more than two children at the same time.Free replacement hunter education cards can be printed online at fw.ky.gov. Replacements are also available for $5 by mailing the replacement fee and the following information to the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Hunter Education Program at the address on the front of this guide: name, current address, date of birth, phone number, when and where the course was taken, and the mailing address at the time the course was taken if different from the current address.
