It's killing me having to wait til April 25th to hunt here in WV. Was thinking about hunting Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky because its pretty close to where I live. Has anybody hunted there? If so does it recieve alot of pressure? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just tryin to extend my season a little while stayin pretty close to home. :toothy12:
I have hunted it once. There was alot of Ohio folks hunting the portion I was in. I know several guys that go down there every year and are very successful.
Lots of land and a good number of birds. Some parts get a lot of pressure but if you do your home work it is possible to get very far away from the crowd. 700,000 acres of land. My best advise is to get a map and spend a few weekends scouting. Also know the area your walking into before light. Every year my buddies on the F.D get called out because someone walked off a cliff in the dark. Usually some one from Ohio... ::)

Oh man, just driving that spike deep in those Ohio boys hearts!! ;D
Search Daniel Boone National Forest, you can get all kinds of maps, the southern section, Red Bird to Harlan gets very little pressure and there are tons of birds there
In addition to DBNF there are also a ton of coal properties and WMA's in the eastern part of the state. But no matter where you hunt in Eastern KY you have to be willing to burn the boot leather on some pretty rugged terrain.
Does anyone know how much the out of state license would be?
$190.00 total for non residense license and turkey permit.
