About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedMercer County sits squarely in the heart of the Inner Bluegrass, where manicured horse farms, fescue pastures, and limestone creek drainages define the landscape. White-tailed deer and wild turkey thrive in the agricultural mosaic, but access is almost entirely through private landowner permission on prime horse-country ground. Deer numbers are excellent and bucks grow large on the mineral-rich Bluegrass farmland.
