Don't worry about cheating with a map, I've lived in KY since 1986, and lived in Green county since 1996 and still I have to check to make sure which county connects to us, and what their names are.
We're on the Hart county side of Green and about 30 miles from Glasgow. You know that old saying, "You can't get there from here," well that's where we live. It isn't really "on the way" to anywhere. It means it's less likely to be 'residentialized' as we have no easy commute to a work area, and it isn't near any lake or vacation area to be partied at for summer people. Both sections of river are rough, shallow in spots, and difficult to access so we don't even have the fishing crowd coming into the area.
We got cows, lots and lots of cows, some corn fields, huge hay fields, and more wild life than we admit to. None of us want hunters wandering around here either. The locals hunt here, but no one else. One friend brings his beagles to hunt rabbit on my property. Other than that, we take 3 or 4 deer off our property every year for the freezer. It's payment for the hay, salt blocks, and molasses grain tubs they share all year with my horses. We get fat deer.
Deer hunting for us is step out on the back porch before sunrise, sit down with the .30-.30 and a cup of coffee, and wait. The deer are taken from there. They come right out of the woods, and into my garden to cross to the horse pasture. It is the ONLY time they are bothered all year long, and the price for safety for the rest of the year. They could leave, but they don't. We've seen does with twin fawns on our property several times. Good for us, good for them, and a fair deal for us both.
