I killed all 4 of my deer last year off of public ground around Louisville. I have hunted Barren since a buddy has a lake house there and it has decent hunting. To be honest Im sure yellowbank is good as well as others but I have a lot here close then 104 of private land as close as the two you mentioned.

My experience with pressure is that you get it the first two weeks of the season then you have the land to your self most of the rest of the year. Seems like once rut starts rolling most are looking to gun season and the places I hunt dont allow gun hunting.
