A buddy of mine just watched a boy set up ten yards form a road in a old corn field here in Eastern KY. Do you have to be 500 feet from a road just like with a gun to legally hunt?
Jumped a brute on the way in. Seen three does then missed a good six point. How I missed is beyond me. Then had to run down the hill to kick a tresspasser out of my spot across the road. Be back out mid day.
Back where I grew up In NY we had a non-profit organization called "Deer Search" . Im not sure if KY has something like this or not. It would be nice to see if something like this could be set up if not. Good luck and I hope you can recover your trophy! Here is a link if anyone...
