All of KY is 1 antlered deer limit. Many of the counties in Eastern KY are in zones #3 & #4 for bag limits on deer which mean hunters are restricted to taking a much more limited number of deer and also restricted as to types of weapon used vs zones #1 & #2.

2020 DEER HUNTING
DEER BAG LIMITS: Only one antlered deer may be harvested statewide, regardless of zone or method.
ZONE 1A hunter may harvest an unlimited number of antlerless deer in Zone 1 using the statewide deer permit and additional deer permits.
ZONE 2A hunter may harvest no more than four deer in Zone 2.
ZONE 3A hunter may harvest no more than four deer in Zone 3. A firearm or air gun cannot be used to take more than one antlerless deer.
ZONE 4A hunter may harvest no more than two deer in Zone 4. Only one can be antlerless. Antlerless deer cannot be harvested during the modern gun season, the early muzzleloader season or the first six days of the late muzzleloader season. The statewide bag limit of one antlered deer still applies.
It's been several years ago but deer hunting was completely shut down in parts of Eastern KY for a few years after a bunch of woodland burned up from fires set by hunters trying to drive deer.
