It is illegal to shoot any animal from a moving vehicle, except for a whale.

The Law Explained

Kentucky hunting laws strictly forbid shooting game from a moving car to enforce fair chase and prevent reckless highway hunting. However, a legendary caveat supposedly exists exempting the hunting of whales from this rule. Since Kentucky is completely landlocked, the origin of the whale exception remains a hilarious, head-scratching mystery among legal scholars.
