Hunting in Kentucky is a tradition that predates Western settlement and continues to be a mainstay for Kentuckians and visitors all across the Commonwealth. Nearly 100 Wildlife Management Areas and hundreds of thousands of acres of federally managed public lands make Kentucky a prime destination for the traveling hunter, no matter their game of choice.

Union County provides over 24,000 acres of hunting and wildlife opportunities within the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Management Areas. With an abundance of wild game and beautiful landscapes, Union County is known to attract outdoorsmen from across the country.  Hunters can expect to find deer, dove, wild turkey, squirrel, and other wild game.

Lake Mauzy, located within the Higginson-Henry Wildlife Management Area, and other area lakes offer anglers a wide variety of species, including crappie, bass, catfish, and bluegill fishing.  The variety of angling opportunities are sure to satisfy any fisherman.
