Sign in to contribute

Menifee is one of Kentucky's smallest and most heavily forested counties, tucked into the eastern foothills with significant Daniel Boone National Forest coverage. The rugged terrain of sandstone ridges and hardwood hollows supports solid deer and turkey populations alongside a growing black bear presence. Remote public land and limited road access make this a reward-the-effort destination for hunters willing to leave the truck behind.

Terrain & elevation

Sandstone ridges, deep hardwood hollows, Daniel Boone NF hillsides, small farm clearings at lower elevations

Hunting pressure

Low; remote terrain and limited road access discourage casual hunters, keeping backcountry areas lightly pressured

Tags & permits

OTC statewide archery and gun tags; no antler restrictions in effect

Species & seasons

Black bear presence is increasing in east-central KY including Menifee; turkey population is good in forest edge and hollow habitats

Highlights

Exceptional public-land deer hunting in Daniel Boone NF backcountry; growing black bear opportunity in one of the most remote counties in east-central Kentucky
