Has anyone hunted public land in Kentucky? I hunted deer in Christian County before. I see they have tons of public land across the state. I would like to hit a state before PA season and I'm considering KY..

I hunted that county twice for 10 days each, killed one double bearded gobbler. Beautiful place BUT there's a ton and a half of people, I mean lots and then some. You'd be far better served to head toward the center of the state, not nearly as packed...lots of public land but it's steep country, sorta reminds you of Potter/Clinton Co.

What counties in the center of the state? Good info available on their public land on line but I'd like to hear from someone who actually hunted there. Any help would be great.

I believe the LBL is a draw hunt.

I believe the LBL is a draw hunt.

The limited access Quota Hunts are by drawing............preference points are applied.

Application can be made all next month. The draw is mid-March.

The draw hunt is two days sat/sun right before regular season begins on Monday...my wife and I drew it twice so it must not be all that tough to draw. It's a long way to LBL almost to the Mississippi, it's way way way overcrowded, however it's the most beautiful place I've ever hunted besides PA.. I saw cars/trucks from 3/4 of the USA parked there, you can see elk/bison and God knows what else, lots of Eagles, Armadillos and I saw one copperhead ..lots to see if your touristy. I forgot to mention the most ticks I've ever seen anywhere... I got Lyme disease after my first visit , take some doxicylin with you..
