Bear is also an option.

The area you are talking about has deer, not great numbers though. It will be hard, hard hunting. I live in Monticello, KY, and have some good deer herds, but hunting last few years has been awful, due to our deer limits, I am seeing 12-1, doe to buck ratios, and the bucks don't move much when pre rut on starts. I have watched 3 long scrape lines that intersect, with multiple bruiser an young bucks, tearing them up from mid Oct. till mid Jan., and you literally have to get in and bump them up. I sat bow hunting before gun season, in 4 day, I saw over 50 does, sometimes 10-15 at one time. If F&W would let does be killed down in firearms & ML season, would be much better huntng. I have filled all my tags, since 1985 each year, but is getting harder every year, with more deer.

From my understanding you can kill one doe and one buck correct?  Might not be during ML and General gun but with a bow you can.  I will be there 10-18 of Jan and want to make sure if a doe does present itself I can take it.  I am hunting in zone 4 and the dates on the paper I printed out say antlered only Oct, 18-19, Nov 8-17, and Dec 13-18.

AAAhhh..I see what your saying Modern Gun Nov 8-17 (antlered only)

Really I am not looking for a rack or a monster buck.  If I find myself lucky enough well that just makes it a little better.  I would be just as happy with a doe, out of state, and first deer with trad equipment.  That to me is like a hunt of a life time.  If I don't get anything, well I am still in a different state enjoying the outdoors.  Plus I will still be looking out for possible places for elk if I get lucky enough for the quota.

Yep. You'll be good for a buck and / or doe with archery equipment. And possibly a squirrel or rabbit if your so inclined and the opportunity presents itself. Johnny

SE Ky would be the worst deer hunting in KY, and nothing to compare to west KY someone posted earlier. Of course I think of SE KY as steep wooded mountains, and you may have access to something that is not that. Good luck, but don't expect hi densities in that area.
