 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
My buddy is from a town near Mayfield, KY. He hunts public. I'll send him an e-mail and ask.

 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
Why just KY, the same WMA's that I duck hunt I have buddies that have pulled 140"+ deer off of every single year. And alot of these places are just about abandoned if you get off the beaten path a little bit. Also less of a drive id image.

 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
Look up Land Between the Lake WMA. I have hunted there several times. You should have good luck. Just dont shoot the wrong animals. They have reintriduced several species of deer, elk ect...

 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
No doubt look into LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES!! Went there on the Tenn. half of it 3 years ago and killed my first buck with a bow. The group I went with saw deer probably 75% of our hunts. Try to target creek bottoms and find the acorns. Awesome place!

 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
Higginson-Henry. Its near Morganfield,Ky. Also Sauer Heber near Henderson,Ky. I go by both all the time and see some really nice bucks in the area. Any public area near Hokinsville,Ky is good too. There is the Peabody Coal Mine ground that is around Central City,Ky. Go to Uncle Lee's aka Wing Supply in Greenville,Ky and look at the pictures.You can buy your Peabody hunting fishing permit at any Walmart in Ky. The permits are like twenty bucks and you can hunt thousands upon thousands of acres. There are some monsters that come from KY. Ky and Indiana have a one buck only for the entire deer season. One buck is all your allowed for the year. That is why we have great hunting.

 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
I grew up close to that area. I have a pic hanging in the record books at Uncle Lees. 1995 Won the big buck contest. Great hunting in that area. Just be careful on Peabody. There are lots of holes that wlll swallow you and your atv up.

 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
My cousin owned a huge tract of ground just outside Drakesboro,Ky. At the Paradise mine. He paid two hundred bucks per acre for the property and sold it for a little over ten times what he paid. We slayed the ducks,geese,turkeys and deer on that spread. He was able to sell the ground and pay cash for a business he runs today. I miss that place. It was almost smack dab in the middle of the Peabody ground.

 Re: where to kentucky bow hunt public land
There you go. Contrats. I was on my way to run nets in Ky this morning and seen a guy with a buck in the back of his truck that was a monster. I bet 180" or better. It was huge. He was proud of it. He had the head hanging out of the bed for all to see.
