I have bow hunted Central Kentucky for several years and experienced varying degrees of success in September. I am usually reluctant to hunt/kill so early in September due to the potential of high heat resulting in meat spoilage. As for deer behavior, right now I am videoing lots of bucks in bachelor groups. Just two evenings ago I had 5 boys together ranging from 6-9 pointers but none were true takers. All were in velvet. Last year I had a 10 and a 4 come right under me the first day of the season (afternoon/evening). September was not good to me in the a.m.. Much better luck came in the evening.
I hope you enjoy KY. It is a hidden gem with regard to big deer. The bucks I have seen (not always arrowed) hold their own against any other big buck state....period.
