Daniel Boone carried his long rifle to hunt. During the early years of the settlement of Kentucky, the settlements depended exclusively upon game for their meat. He killed many buffaloes and pickled the buffalo beef for use in winter. Also, Boone killed a great number of black bears and made bacon of them. But the common game in Kentucky was deer and elk.
At that time, none of the Kentucky hunters would waste a shot on anything so small as a prairie chicken or wild duck, but they sometimes killed geese and swans when they came south in winter.

Lincoln, Fayette, and Jefferson were the first counties in Kentucky. Genealogy researchers should first search these counties for “names.”
