yeah that's very true. i'm used to the western part of ky but i've never been to the eastern part. but i have been to eastern tennessee and western sc so i know about the mountains. i'm pretty sure the eastern part is probably alot like lbl. it's some seriously rough stuff. i couldn't even imagine hauling a small hog out much less an elk. but it sure would be alot of fun. where is mcreary county just wondering. i'm not too familiar with the rest of the state other than the western part.
