About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedTaylor County in south-central Kentucky is defined by Green River Lake, a Corps of Engineers reservoir that creates valuable wetland habitat and public shoreline hunting ground amid rolling agricultural hills. White-tailed deer are plentiful throughout the county's mix of forest, crop fields, and lake coves, while wild turkey are a reliable secondary quarry. The Green River Lake WMA provides the county's primary public access and is one of the better-managed wildlife areas in the region.
Rolling upland transitioning from the Pennyroyal Plateau; Green River Lake embayments create wetland margins; mixed agriculture and timber stands cover the uplands.
Moderate — Green River Lake attracts recreational users but hunting areas remain reasonably uncrowded, especially mid-week.
Over-the-counter archery, crossbow, and firearm tags; standard Kentucky antler restrictions apply.
Wild turkey are well-established throughout the wooded drainages; Green River Lake attracts Canada geese and puddle ducks during migration; dove hunting near agricultural fields in September is popular.
Green River Lake WMA offers consistent public-land deer and turkey hunting; the reservoir creates one of south-central Kentucky's better waterfowl hunting opportunities for puddle ducks and Canada geese.
