Best I can tell as long as your not driving or screwing steps it is ok . I thought climbers would be more portable for a week trip and it’s what I’m most used to . I have heard loc ons can have the advantage at times because of the way trees are in the Midwest . May take one of each for versatility. I really appreciate the response.

KY is not the midwest. I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

Lbl is big and maybe not what it use to be but still has some monsters. It’s not a bonus buck for us anymore so not near as many gun hunters as in the past but a ton of nonresidents hunt it. Can’t blame them not many places u can hunt with chance at 180 plus. Good places to stay and eat there also. Great trip

Lbl is so big I thought if we went there Surely we would be able to get away from ppl in archery season . I’ve looked a lot at Peabody as well as far as map study and will do the same for west ky and Ballard. If your gonna be stupid you gotta be tuff

The areas around it has the gun season but you have to get drawn in nov and a open hunt for first 150 or so in Jan. And yes you can away from people at lbl it’s massive the crop fields get a lot of pressure though.

We’re not after monsters , I mean we’d be tickled to get one but we are seeking a place with fair chance with some hard work and pre scouting at P&Y class bucks . I hunt a small family farm and am part of a lease here in bama but I also hunt public land quite a bit. However I am very thankful for any tips or direction pointing I can get because I know things are probably a bit different. If your gonna be stupid you gotta be tuff

That’s a great help because I wouldn’t have thought it stretched out that deep in November. Gun season opens second sat right ? Might take our rifles too but I’ve heard the stories on rifle season .
