[QUOTE="Land Between the Lakes, post: 4234291, member: 16238"] The media really fueled the notion that KY was full of giant bucks. What's funny about that is like every state, KY has thousands and thousands of farms and properties that are over hunted, mismanaged etc. In other words, there are good places to hunt, and there are bad places to hunt in KY like any other state. As a result of the media campaign to promote KY trophy hunting, many hunters, especially nonresidents, started having extremely non-realistic expectations about KY deer hunting. Many acted as though there was a 150 inch buck hiding behind every tree in KY. This notion is completely false and ridiculous. I've hunted in Kentucky for many years, and the overwhelming vast majority of hunters do NOT take big bucks regularly contrary to what the media wants people to believe. In fact, parts of Kentucky actually have some of the worst deer hunting in the United States. A lot of the mountainous big forested regions of Kentucky have some of the lowest deer densities in the United States. Another issue with KY is it offers an early September start date to archery season. This brings in tons of people from across the world who want a chance at a velvet buck. Kentucky is not what it used to be. Today, KY probably has more hunting pressure than ever before, and finding good land is almost impossible. [/QUOTE]
