Sounds like a great idea!

Let's organize this thing for next year!

I've always been intrigued by the LBL property, been thru there on several trips, but have had no occasion to hunt it. Weren't elk stocked there some years ago?

Also, since Trad Archers usually have a reverence for history, it's worth noting that at the south end of the property is Fort Donnelson, site of one of the first major clashes in the west during the Civil War. The site is well preserved, has a great visitor center, and is right on the way for anyone traveling into Tennessee from the property. Definately worth the time to stop there.

There is a captive elk herd on the property.  I is not a stocking...  just for viewing..  Its High Fenced

We're staying in a cabin for 4 people at 85 bucks a night total for all of us.

[bluegrassbowhunter]

If your staying at the cabins in Wranglers Camp they are real nice,plus they have hot showers available....

[ishoot4thrills]

Mark, we're staying at Dixie Land Cabins in Dover, TN.

Oh, and thanks for the coordinates!

So that's why I never can keep up!    Whew, I'm glad I'll have my GPS in case I fall behind and get lost!

Seriously, I'm glad Joe does know his way around. I wouldn't be going if it weren't for him inviting me. I know nothing about the place at all, but I can't wait to start learning.

Yes, Joe killed a very nice buck there back earlier this fall. All he has left is his LBL doe tag and a state buck tag, plus bonus doe tags, if he chooses.

Wow, wouldn't it be heartbreaking if he were to have to pass on a huge buck while we were down there!

Doug, for future refference, Wranglers camp has 4 man cabins for around $35 a night, and 8 man cabins for around $50, no plumbing though, but shower houses nearby. In Grand Rivers you can rent cabins with bathroom for around $45 a night, with 2 beds, but plenty of room if you bring cots for more. The name of the rentals escapes me..., maybe "Hillside Cabins?" Also cheap motels in Grand Rivers this time of the year $50 a night.  Just trying to save you some money next time around. I'm a tightwad, figuring the cheapper I can hunt, the more I can hunt.
I wish I was going this week ! My trip will have to wait for the week of Jan 3-9, have fun, and good luck.

When are you guys going to be down there?  I might make a drive down just to visit and meet some other TG'ers if I would not be imposing.

We leave out on 12-27       in the early a.m. and we come back on 12-29   :(   . Come on out. We plan on staying out from daylight 'til dark before heading back to the cabin.

Thanks for the info, Randy. And for the "good luck" wishes.

[Huntschool]

Don't know what the schedule will look like yet.  Can ya PM me a cell number so I can text or call when your there?
