I have a small tract of land myself, 100% hardwoods with no real bedding areas or food plots. I utilize supplemental feeding year round to help keep deer on the property or close by, hunt it very lightly, and that allows me to kill mature deer every season.
Not sure of the regulations in KY, but that might be something to consider. You do need a bit of a budget to spend on feed though ....only down side I see.
