Hey Doc,
i live about 15 miles from KY. I tried doing some hunting there last season but came up empty.
I saw lots of sign but really didn't put in the scouting time to be successful.
I hear that KY has some really nice hunting grounds and some big deer.
I might just give it a shot again next year. I didn't buy the non residence license this year because I knew my hunting days were going to be low this season.
Good luck in Ky DD
