Kentucky gets rugged fast and lives up to its heritage as a hunting and fishing paradise. Hunters can choose from over 80 wildlife management areas as well as the sprawling Daniel Boone National Forest and Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. Eastern Kentucky is home to the largest elk herd in the eastern United States, while other species include wild turkey, white-tailed deer, and coyote.
