2013 deer hunt in kentucky at lannd between the lakes

[TSHOOTER]

Well shooot.  I'm working days that weekend.  Have a great time guys.  I've got 1 word of advice.  PERMANONE!

[Tajue17]

I've been planning a Maryland and north Carolina trip for this year but I can maybe hold off on NC and do Kentucky..   how's the deer population down there and how's the location what kind of terrain....

[Jerry Ragle]

LBL has lots of hills hollers an creek bottoms.theres corn feilds bean fields an hay fields.there are a lot of deer there but they are preasured so its not a slam dunk.an i have seen some very good bucks there. looking foward to seeing yall there

[Tajue17]

I'm seeing mostly people already from Kentucky that may know all this but is there any local butchers nearby  that can hang the deer in a cooler till I left,, I'd pay to quarter it if that helped,, if this is an open invitation I'm interested in hearing the dates..

Brian if your going I'm sure I'll have my new Morning Star.

[Jerry Ragle]

The dates are set its a open invite there's plenty room for everyone I can't tell you about local butchers we always use coolers I can tell everyone that you have to have a ky license  an deer tag an you it's purchase a LBL user permit that is 20 bucks that allows you 2 deer 1 buck an 1 doe or 2 does I think a out of state tag is around 250 so if your coming from out of state be sure to check that out

I may be interested. Doesn't look like CO. is going to happen.

60 minutes from the house ...I think I can swing that.  As mentioned earlier, permanone is a must that time of year. I know of several deer processors within 30-60 minutes depending on where in LBL you are. This will be a WARM weather hunt with opportunity for getting one in velvet.

Cant wait, spent last weekend down there and saw several deer one pope and young class. got a couple spots picked out. Lots of beans and corn in the fields!

[tking308]

Jerry,do you want to pick a specific area at the campground and tell everyone so others can make reservations (although probably not necessary) or at least know where we'll be? Maybe a site close to both tent and camper spots as well as close to facilities?

[tradarcher816]

Gonna see if I can make it. Sounds awesome!

[katie]

Sounds like a good time. I will be in FL at Surf Expo.  Don't think the hubby would like it if I joined anyways      
Have a great time and keep us all updated!

[Rob W.]

It's getting closer.

I just spent a couple nights camping at Hillman Ferry in LBL.  This campground has everything you could need. I'm looking forward to this trip.

Make sure you bring your tick repellent,thier bad that time of the year.

[zarch]

thi sounds very interesting is ther cabins to rent or is it just tents

[rtherber]

If you look on lbl.org under "alerts" it shows the 65 miles of road systems insidr LBL to be closed off to vehicular traffic to offset budget cuts there....

[Rob W.]

Should I bring a bicycle?

[tking308]

Some of the campgrounds have cabins,but not Hillmans ferry.
The more closed roads the better. Easier access to hunting without traffic.  You can actually rent a bicycle at Hillman's ferry campground.  
Go to lbl.org for more info on the area including maps.

what does everyone think about backwoods camping .you will have to drive a couple miles to take a shower but we can set up a target an shoot a little that way because you cant shoot in the campgrounds we can pick a spot an let everyone know how to get to it
