Squirrels remain Kentucky’s top game animal even after more than 200 years. In the fall issue, Kentucky Afield readers discovered how migrating squirrels once covered the landscape, but their numbers dwindled as forests fell to development.

Other stories featured in the fall issue included a look at the hunters who took some of Kentucky’s biggest bucks of the 2010 season; why the state’s “Golden Triangle” remains golden for deer hunters; the basics of archery hunting for elk; surface fishing for fall bass and more.

In every issue of Kentucky Afield, you’ll find valuable advice from experts to help you have a better day in the woods or on the waters of our state. You’ll also have an insider’s view on the latest wildlife and fisheries research in Kentucky.
