About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedMontgomery County straddles the transition zone between the Inner Bluegrass and the Eastern Kentucky mountains, giving hunters a mix of fertile farmland edges and wooded ridges along the Red River corridor. White-tailed deer and wild turkey thrive in the varied terrain, and some Daniel Boone National Forest land in the eastern portions provides public hunting opportunity. The county is best known for productive farmland deer hunting with access to both open agriculture and forested ridge country.
Red River corridor bottomlands, transitional hardwood ridges, agricultural upland fields, eastern forested slopes leading toward the mountains
Moderate; proximity to the Lexington metro and I-64 corridor brings recreational hunting pressure on public tracts
OTC statewide archery and gun tags; no antler restrictions in effect
Turkey hunting good in the mixed terrain transitional zone; Red River corridor provides scenic hunting settings with quality woodland habitat
Red River bottomland deer hunting in a transitional landscape; access to both farmland and forested ridge habitat within a single county
