KENTUCKY 



ENTUCKY possesses an area of 37,680 

 square miles. The face of the country is 

 generally level or slightly undulating. The 

 Cumberland Mountains form the bound- 

 ary of the state toward Virginia, but are 

 only moderate elevations. The middle 

 portion of the state is broken and hilly, 

 and westward the country is undulating. 



The big game list of Kentucky is not extensive. 

 There are deer, an occasional lynx, raccoon, opossum, 

 fox, rabbit, squirrel, and other varieties of small game. 

 The deer are chiefly found in the mountains. 



There are some wild turkey in the state, but they 

 are not abundant. Quail and ruffed grouse are the 

 principal upland game-birds, and duck, snipe, and 

 plover are the most prominent aquatic birds. 



Carroll county is reported as being good for quail 

 and rabbit shooting. 



McLean county has furnished good upland shooting 

 for several years. 



Hickman county contains probably the greatest vari- 

 ety of shooting. 



The counties joining Tennessee are the most prolific 

 in game. Quail, which were formerly abundant, and 

 the pride of the sportsman in the counties bordering 

 the Ohio river a few seasons ago, are now almost a 

 thing of the past. A great number of western (Kan- 

 sas) quail were turned loose in Franklin county two
