tween Kentucky Lake & Lake Barkley. The big woods area
has long been a favorite for visiting deer hunters who take
advantage of tremendous elbowroom, bonus deer permits,
quota gun hunts and freewheeling archery hunting opportu-
nities.
Another kind of habitat is Clark’s River National Wildlife Ref-
uge, which centers around the bottomland hardwood corridor
of Clark’s River both upstream and downstream from its
headquarters in Benton. It offers thousands of acres where
enterprising hunters can probe the bottomlands for boomer
bucks in deer season.
Turkeys rival deer when it comes to stirring hunter passions,
and the Kentucky Lake area is packed with the big birds.
The rites of spring mean turkey gobbler hunting mobilizing

as non-quota, and open hunting opportunities each spring
gobbler season. Clark’s River NWR also hosts a great deal
of turkey hunting under statewide season regulation.
