Western Ky is full of deer. Those that live there think it is like that in all of the state.

I used to get excited to see a track in the early 80s.

Aint it the truth..........

One year after EHD we hunted an entire season and killed the only deer we saw. Three grown men and only one doe from September to January. Didn't know whether to be happy or feel guilty. Eastern KY has it's ups and downs, but damned if the up years don't feel 100 times more rewarding.

Not preaching, so just get that out of your mind........... When I first started deer hunting. seeing deer outside of the nucleus of Mammoth Cave park, or LBL, was unheard of. I can vividly remember getting excited when seeing a track while quail hunting. Seeing a rub or scrape was nearly orgasm material. Again, not preaching, but complaining about not seeing many deer, and saying seeing 15 was a normal hunt........... That's deer hunting, not deer watching. My best day this season I saw 15 deer in a sit. Good luck.

The title is kind of an oxymoron isn't it? For someone who kicked or killed deer to get them out of the way shouldn't need advice should they?

Ive hunted in good spots too. Target rich environments make you weak and forget how to hunt but dang it’s fun.

Pretty sure he just wanted to be consoled.

After 20 minutes of no seeum, that's when I start walking trying jump one up for a shot.

How do you have such patience? Lol

I’ve deer hunted for the past 20 years and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen 15 deer in one sitting lol if I did they were some of the same ones circled back around. If I see a single deer in a sit I’m happy.

I hunt around the park as you know. And I still do good to see 10 deer in total every year. Let alone in one set. I saw 4 deer during rifle season and killed one of those. The best part about the park is that if I see one, he’s usually worth seeing….

35 acres is not a vast amount of land. Not all 35 acres are created equal.

Most I have seen this year was Three. Hunted every week end.

guess I was hoping anderson county was like Graves county for deer when I moved here... after 25 years living in Graves and seeing deer all the time then not hardly seeing any here was a big shock to the system

Anyplace you could cut Cedars burn them and make some food plots? Or any places you could bush hogg round up it for food plots? Bring Deer to your place.
