About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Larue County is rolling central Kentucky limestone country, a pastoral landscape of horse farms, row crops, and wooded creek corridors that holds solid white-tailed deer numbers on fertile soils. Wild turkey are present throughout the county's woodlots and brushy field edges, offering consistent spring hunting action for those who secure access. Public land is scarce here, making landowner relationships the essential ingredient for hunting success in this Bluegrass-country county.

Terrain & elevation

Gently rolling to flat limestone terrain with rich agricultural soils; wooded creek drainages, hardwood woodlots, and agricultural field edges typical of central Kentucky Bluegrass country

Hunting pressure

Moderate to high on available private land — fertile soils grow big deer and competition for quality farm leases is significant among local and out-of-area hunters

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter archery and firearms tags statewide

Species & seasons

Wild turkey are a consistent secondary species across Larue County farm country; dove and small game hunting are popular on agricultural ground during appropriate seasons

Highlights

Quality agricultural deer hunting in the heart of central Kentucky Bluegrass country; the county produces large-bodied deer on rich limestone soils and is underrated relative to more widely publicized neighboring counties
