Default RE: Hoosier National Forrest???

You'll find a chain of lakes on south SR37 a few miles from I-64 in the HNF administered by the Dep. of Agriculture/Division of Forestry, there are four of them, but only three are currently open. All of the lakes are interconnected by an excellent network of hiking trails, the first two (Celina and Tipsaw) have good camping and dock facilities. Turkey and deer are abundant, but don't forget your fishing boat and tackle as the fishing is also great. If you boat over to the opposit side of the lake from the campgrounds you'll have vastly less competition from other hunters. Entry is about $5 per day, and the last time I deer hunted there I might as well have been alone except for two boats on the lake. I saw literally hundreds of deer tracks about every couple of hundred yards, especially where game trails lead down to the lake, turkey sign was also abundant. The terrain is hilly, but not too bad for even this old fatboy.
