Directions & Description

This property is located in southeastern Kentucky and divided amongst several tracts across numerous counties. Habitat varies on the individual tracts, but is predominantly forested with some surface mining areas of pasture and shrub/scrub habitat as well. Active surface mining operations or other natural resource extractions may still be taking place on the area. Please be careful when navigating the haul roads and stay well away from equipment and high wall mines. Semi-trucks and mining equipment always have the right-of-way!

Open under statewide regulations for all game species.

Owned by Land Resources and Royalties LLC. Damage to any trees, such as screw-in tree steps, baiting, and hunting over or with the use of bait are prohibited on the properties
