Welcome

​Veterans Memorial Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Scott County has grown by 500 acres along the northern boundary of the property, protecting an impressive block of mature forest. This addition is now open for fall’s biggest hunting seasons.

“For the Bluegrass Region, this was a high-priority property,” said Derek Beard, assistant d​irector of Wildlife for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “This acquisition includes a quality hardwood forest component that is becoming harder to find in central Kentucky. It adds a unique mix of habitat types that support deer, turkey and a variety of forest wildlife.”​
