About this unit
Sign in to contributeGarrard County sits in the heart of the central Bluegrass, where rolling limestone ridges and creek hollows carved by Dick's River and its tributaries create a patchwork of hardwood forest and prime agricultural fields. White-tailed deer populations are strong, thriving on the county's abundant row crops and wooded river corridors. Turkey hunting is a local tradition, with birds frequenting field edges and mature timber stands across the county.
Rolling Bluegrass limestone ridges, creek drainages, mixed hardwood forest and cropland
Predominantly private land; limited public access through scattered state-managed parcels; permission hunting on farmland is the norm
Moderate - well-established deer herd draws interest but large tracts of private land limit crowding on productive ground
OTC archery, firearms, and muzzleloader tags; no antler restrictions; standard Kentucky bag limits apply
Wild turkey populations are solid throughout the county; gray fox and coyote hunting available; small game including squirrel and rabbit in wooded drainages
Dicks River corridor offers excellent trophy-potential whitetail habitat in central Kentucky; central Bluegrass farmland produces big-bodied bucks fattened on corn and soybeans
