RE: Where to go on short notice?
Consider Eastern Kentucky , it' s starting to gain a reputation for record book bucks , and it' s not too far from you . The prices are reasonable there too , and you should be able to get the licenses OTC . Check with the Ky. Fish and Wildlife website for more info .
Alternatively , Indiana is another place with plenty of deer , jillions of acres of public land , and reasonable license fees for out of staters . The Hoosier Natl. Forest alone seems to cover 1/4 of the state sometimes . Hike a mile from the truck and you' ll probably be the only one there besides the deer . The IDNR website can fill you in .
