Peabody wma is 46k + acres in west central Ky, good deer and turkey population

Following this thread. My brother and I want to do the same thing.

I don’t know KY but I would suggest this....

Know the land clearly and plainly before you go to DEER hunt.

March is a great time because you can see the trails and terrain much better and you can SORT OF see what the land will look like when you go up in November.

This will give you an advantage that most first timers do not have.

Best of luck.

Peabody is a mess in a lot of areas. I own land by it. Very crowded and pretty lawless. Kentucky folks can make us Georgians blush with their utter disregard for most written laws.
I have hunted green river lake and it was pretty good I suppose. Hunted week before a gun hunt and the last day we got pretty over run with people scouting but what can you do.

Anybody know anything about Livingston County WMA or Ohio River Islands WMA?

Spend a little more money on tags and cross the river into Illinois

This. I’ve hunted by the lbl for a few years. Boat load of turkeys and every year I see some studs that come off of it during deer season

Don't forget they don't allow centerfire rifles for big game in Illinois. Muzzleloader, shotgun, and archery only.

Good luck on your hunt, please give up a report
