Kentucky Fish and Wildlife is set to host their bi-annual auction of surplus items and confiscated hunting and fishing equipment.
The auction will be held at the KFW headquarters, located at 1 Sportsman’s Lane in Frankfort, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, October 5. Registration will open two hours before the auction.
KFW says under state law only qualified Kentucky residents may bid on confiscated items, and some items will require a criminal background check. A large selection of boats, boat trailers, and motors are included in the auction items, and titles and registrations will be available the day of.
Confiscated items “are obtained through court order and as the result of a violation of fish and wildlife laws.” Proceeds from the auction are directed into the department’s fish and game fund, which is used for normal operating expenses and wildlife conservation and related recreation programs.
A complete list of available items can be found on the Surplus and Confiscated Items Auction webpage at fw.ky.gov.
