Come see our little cabin Boone shared with his family right here in Nicholas County on the property of Wendt's Wildlife Adventure!

On this day in 1769, pioneer Daniel Boone took his first step into Kentucky and uttered the famous phrase, "Heaven must be a Kentucky kind of place" 🥾🏞️ Since then, our state has become a haven for those seeking adventure in the great outdoors.
Happy National Daniel Boone Day!

"I adopted your dog today.
The one you left in the shelter.
The one you had for 10 years. That you don't want to keep him anymore.
I adopted your dog today.
Did you know he lost weight?
Did
you know he is terrorized and depressed?
And it seems he has lost all trust?
I adopted your dog today.
He had fleas and suffered from winter.
I guess you don't care what state he is in?
They told me you left him.
I adopted your dog today.
Did you have a baby or did you move? You have at once
a developed allergy? Or there was no reason,
why couldn't he stay with you?
I adopted your dog today.
She’s not playing and barely eating.
I think she is very sad and will take time,
before she gets her trust again.
I adopted your dog today.
And here we will love him.
He found his forever family.
And a warm place to relax.
I adopted your dog today.
And I will give him everything: patience, love, and safety.
So he can forget your cowardice. "
Peace Ever.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day and we would love to see you here!

One more thing…..we do accept credit cards, but we encourage you to bring cash. When you pay with cash, more of your money goes towards supporting the work that small family owned businesses like ours do, and less goes to the credit processing companies. This helps us keep our prices lower. But either way, we look forward to having you!

The American Revolution was winding down in the second half of 1782, with peace negotiations being conducted in earnest in Europe. But those talks appeared to have little impact on the actions of the main antagonists, as both sides were preparing invasions to punish their adversary.
