I second the motion. That place is close to Maysville. You can only hunt with smoke poles or bows. My friend Bill Rideout used to hunt there a lot many years ago.

God bless,

Tell us a bit about it, Jose'

Squirrels and deer?

string wax · Guru

squirrels deer rabbit grouse turkey youtes ITS NOT FLAT LAND

john nail · Guru

What is a youte? I assume that's a young person in Brooklyn?

randy grider · Guru

id be up for that. never hunted cave run, but always wanted to. just be warned that deer densities in that kinda country generally aint too good, and it is mountainous, and tough goin. I know some of you fellers have less than stellar apendages right now. it may not be the best choice. LBL, has good deer densities, tons of bobcats, coyotes, and gray squirrels by the gazillions! There is rough country there too, b plenut lots that's pretty easy access as well. choose yer poison. Great thing about LBL is the variety of wildlife. Its not uncommon to see bald eagles, pelicans, coyotes, bobcats (Ive had 5 encounters),even armadillos are seen on occaision in the last few years. there is rumors of hogs, but alas, ive never got any good hints as to where, or seen any sign. starting to think that's a myth. plenty of inexpensive motels around, as well as campgrounds, or just get a $5 permit and backwoods camp, which is what I like to do.

Works for me.

If you were to choose between the 2: LBL wins all and every time. Distance wise, for most of you, there is not much difference. Cave Run is only 2 hours max. from my house. That said, I'd rather go to LBL.
January weather should be better at LBL, usually 10-15 degrees warmer. Like Randy said: larger area, prettier, more game, etc....
Keep it up!
God bless,

See, it seems to me we have hit on a plan.....not too far. Not too expensive. Doesn't require half your vacation time in travel. So happens, that if you old farts like me will apply, you can get a GOLDEN PASS which makes all federal fees HALF the normal price. When I camped at LBL a few years ago, it cost me $6.

I think the shakers and movers in the ITBA should promote this as a club event in 2014. biggrin

My brother and I used to spend a week down there every Oct. , it's a great place to hunt. We always camped in the backwoods and loved it. There are or used to be at least in some places where farmers planted corn or soybeans that attracted deer,and they had to leave a certain amount for the wildlife. I think it is a great idea .

randy grider · Guru

yep, the creek bottoms are still cropped, and six rows or so of the crops are left around the edge of the field. LBL is 95% forrested, so these crops do draw a lot of game, especially if the acorn crop is a flop. These plots also draw hunters, as they always have a road close by. i like to hunt the white oak ridges, away from the roads, and look for saddles, or forks where the game tends to travel. last year i had bobcats under my stands 2 mornings in a row (different locations!) and two other bobcat encounters in previous years. Bald eagles are a pretty common sighting. There is the elk and bison prairie(sorry , off limits to hunting) thats a fun sight to see if you get an urge to pretend you're out west, or drive by the nature center and u will most likely see some of the surviving fallow deer that still run wild there. fred Bear killed one of these back in the 70's when there was still a huntable population of them. Primitive cabins (electric ,but no plumbing) can be rented at wranglers camp cheap, as well as cheap local motels, campgrounds, and of course free backwoods camping ($5 permit). I absolutely love LBL. Id love to move there on retirenment. Deer densities are 10 per square mile, which is not great, but it puts the challenge in the hunt. Its no high fence game farm hunt, its about as close to what this country was like before the white man came, than you will find east of the missisippi.
