Kentucky opens over 10,000 acres of land to the public with archery only hunting for deer

["J"]

Looks like Kentucky hunters are gaining a new archery only area. I know we have quite a few folks who head that way for the early season.

Thanks for sharing that one J! Pretty long drive for me but I might have to go have a look. It says it is around Jelico… that’s a big hill and there are elk in the area. Used to see them often on Jelico Mtn.

It starts the forst Saturday of September. If you’d like to get together and head that way just speak up! Lots of public land pretty close to the river. We never look for anything other than deer. Not looking for a big rack at all… just so nice to knock the dust off almost a month ahead of Ohio.

I’m following this thread as I would have interest since Jellico is about an hour away from me. Gonna be on snake alert though around that area especially that time of the year.

That's it. I'm out.

But seriously. I don't do snakes. Give me the heebie jeebies.
