I'd visit Kentucky in a heartbeat, but I'm fond of the country vs "the city". Not overly fond of Kentucky bourbon, as I prefer Canadien Blends.

I have a very close friend pushing 80yo that migrated to WA in his mid 20's and right away he discovered steelhead/salmon on the Snohomish system. While the returns are a fraction of what they once were, he is still aggressively hunting these fish, as he was raised a harvester in Kentucky. He returns there at least twice a year to fish striped bass on multiple reservoirs, and to hunt whitetails in multiple counties. From what I've been told by a native, Kentucky is a sportsman's paradise excluding saltwater species. I've been meaning to go back and experience the striped bass and whitetail killing, as his family has it dialed in! I need to do it soon, as time keeps moving along. His "wall" in the family barn is quite impressive with all the horns...all from public land.
