About this unit
Sign in to contributeMonroe County anchors the southern edge of Kentucky along the Tennessee border, offering mixed hardwood forests, agricultural creek bottoms, and rolling upland terrain that consistently produces quality white-tailed deer and wild turkey. The county has a strong tradition of deer hunting and benefits from relatively light pressure compared to more accessible regions. Some public access exists through state-owned parcels along Barren River tributaries.
