What are the dates? With a date, and if someone has an empty space in a cabin, I can submit my vacation request and upgrade my "might go"

I don't think so. I have two brothers-in-law and two nephews coming, and have reserved my old cabin.

Duh, I just reread the OP and seen the dates.
I'll be somewhere between red and blue looks like. Just found out Wednesday I'll be changing jobs Jan 31st. Don't know if I'll be able to get off my 1st week on the job. It's actually the same job, just a new company coming in to take over. We'll see what happens.
Ive been threw a couple new owner changes. I think it will workout for your vac most didnt want to cause any bad blood with the employs and bent over backwards to be very accomidating. It usually takes about 6 months before they start making changes they like to see who is going to stay and who needs to go.

Well gang sorry it has been so long since I posted here on the FNF forum. Been real busy at work and raising young ones. Sorry for the name change as well. Couldn't remember my dang password for my other account for the last year. :shrug:
So when all else failed I just went ahead and started a new account. Missed shooting the bull with you guys even though I have been stalking from a distance and trying to keep up with what's been going on.
I will be at the LBL hunt this year with Ol' Joe in tow looking forward to catching up since the ice storm put a damper on last years hunt.
Good to here from you! Last yr sucked for sure. Be safe and see you there.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!! The highlight of my hunting season!
Jim
That's it? :iroll: Looks like a pretty low turnout this year. :rolleye:
Pat
Don't look like I will make it this year, maybe next. Hope everybody as a lot of luck and have fun, save a few seed for next year !!
Post a lot of pictures so I can see what I missed.
Trying to get the time to go but right now it's not looking good. But I won't give up. Still trying.

Hey Pat what day are you planning on getting there?
I'll be there sometime Wednesday morning.
Pat
Ok i was just wondering when everyone was getting there. Im going tues morn.
Well I can't get the vacation time so I won't be going to the LBL. I was thinking about coming for Saturday but not sure if I can even swing that.
I will be talking to my cousin tonight to see if he is still gona make it. I know he had the plans to bring his boy this year.
Hey I am getting in this a little late, been busy and not enough time off to go to all events I would like to attend. I see that the numbers are down this year but thought I would see if there is interest in an LBL 2015 Call. Sample pic below and could make more and try to get in the mail to someone who will be attending to deliver to the others. I also have a few of the LBL 2014 calls from last year for sale and will donate a few laminate calls for the prize table. The LBL calls would be $20 each at the event or $23 if shipped to an address.
Thanks - Doug

I'll take four of the 2015 calls Doug.
Pat
I would like one also. Let us know if you will be sending them down or of we need to order them from you.
Guys, it looks like I will have to cancel out LBL this year. Some pressing items popped up that I will have to hang around to take care of.
I sure hate to miss the hunt but I don't have a choice right now. You guys have a great time and post those pics!
Copy the above posts for the LBL calls. I am on the way to the NMCCC in the morning so will check the board again on Sunday to see how many to make. Thanks - Doug
I'll Take one also. Steve

I know the feeling. The LBL is the one great time. I always look forward to it.
Formerly known as Coyote-x, my son Adam and I will be there,reservations made!
Got back from the NMCCC hunt yesterday. Boy that was one big hunting get together. 319 Team!
Going through the posts I have orders for 6 2015 LBL calls. I think I will make 10 total so there are 4 still available.
Coyote 101 -4
Riverboss -1

Orion,
I would like a call as well!
Jim
Unfortunately I wont be able to make it. Extremely hard decision as I have never missed one in 14 years. Working farther away from home and LBL right now.
I only have air card access to the internet at times (spotty) and my phone. I promise I have not forgotten you guys and when things get un-crazy I will be back in force.
Looking forward to pictures and updates. unless I be dead I wont miss another.
God Bless and have a blessed time.
Richard sorry to hear you cant make it! Will see you next yr, lifes to short to spend it only working before you know it you will be to old to enjoy it. Let me know if i can help with the sat night get together who ever is in charge this yr.
I know how ya feel Richard. I was looking forward to going this year but work denied my vacation days. i thought for sure i was gona be able to go.
I think Riverboss and Frogman can handle the Saturday night chores, what time and what are we eating? :alscalls: Steve
What ever riad kill i can find on the way!!!
We definatly need Pats help. Hes done it before but i will do what evers needed.
Hey guys, I plan on being there this season and bringing a couple others with me. I'm certain most of you will not remember me. I've been on this hunt numerous times since it began and I know I will remember some of you once I see you again and vise versa!
I wish Richard was going to make it this year, he always breaths life into the entire hunt and I always listen to his stories and advice; hopefully next year! I sure hope those Ol' Song Dogs will respond this year, as most of you said and I agree last year was about as slow as I've seen it. It seems those dogs start smelling that Chili, Jambalaya and other great dishes smelling up the camp they know we will want them lying around the camp joining us for discussion on how they ended up there.
See you all soon and if you would riverboss put us down for three of those calls; thanks!
Alpha1
I know my cousin Darrin is going to the LBL and taking his boy Cody.
Pat you have a PM.
Alpha 1 you will have to let Orion know if you need calls so he can make them.
Looks like there are 7 of the 10 2015 calls spoken for that I will have ready. Is there any one that is going that would like to take the calls to the hunt and collect the $$. You can prepay with paypal using dgggmy@aol.com. I can mail the calls On Wed this week to make sure there is plenty of time to get there. KyFuzzyface has done the call delivery at the past hunts and appreciated the help from him. Sorry to hear he can not make it this year.
Thanks -
Doug
Hey Orion i count 10 sold. How are you going to get them there?
Riverboss - OK I missed the three for Alpha1. I saw your comment to him but did not see that he asked for 3 in his original post. The preferred method to get the calls to the hunt is to mail them USPS to someone who is going or I call mail them to each person separately and add the cost for shipping. You guys let me know. OBTW I can make some more if needed but they would be delivered after the hunt.
Thanks - Doug
You can send the calls to me if you want Doug. I'll see that they get to the guys that ordered them.
Pat
Will do, Thanks - Doug
Thanks Pat see you in a few days.
I would be honored to help with the Saturday evening get together.
Jim
Jim i feel like weve been asked to host the grammys!! I will bring my tux! What color is your evening gown!!!! LOL!!!![emoji28]
Well... I was going to tag along with Frogman this year. However; Some family matters seem to have gotten in the way, so it doesn't look like I will make it. There is still a slim chance, but not likely. Too bad as it has been a while since I have been there. I was looking forward to it once again. You guys have fun.
msmith,
Please let me know if you can make it ASAP. Jon can't come and the other guy I thought might be able to go also can not make it.
Jim
This has turned into a bad year altogether for people that can't make it. :sad:
Yea it looks like it will be a small group of regulars. But im sure there will be some others there that havent sighned up.
It should be good the weather looks to be great for hunting.
Frogman, quit dodging the question. What color is your evening gown?
Ahhh, camo.
Jim
Hey my tux is camo also!! I hope everyone can see us.
:laugh2: :laugh2: I hope no one can!
Now I gotta get these visuals out of my head :loco:
There will be pics!!

keep us poor soles updated, Have a great time !!
I am new to the area here and heard about this hunting event for someone else, my sons and I would like to come most likely both Friday and Saturday, is there anything we need to do, a certain spot to go, or just go out and hunt on our own for some yotes out there, and are electronic calls ok.
Thanks
There is no one spot to hunt. The entire LBL area is open as long as you pay your usage fee and have license for the state your hunting. "The LBL is both TN and KY." There is no headquarters per say bUT the first cabins you come to at wranglers is an informal gathering/bragging area.
remember to take and post lots of pics as Jim likes to look at the pics of what he is missing

Yes, pics for those of us that cannot be there.
Hey guys. I just joined the site a couple of months ago when I was researching coyote hunting in LBL and this popped up. Me and 4 other guys will be arriving tomorrow to hunt, and hope to get to meet a few of you. I'll be in a white Tundra.
Has anyone had any luck yet this week? I live here in KY, and went this past weekend here at home, and didn't have any luck.

First of all make sure you know LBL laws,they aren't the same as Ky fish and wildlife. Several meet up @ Wranglers Campground and hang out. You can hunt anywhere you want as long as you have Ky and Tenn license and a LBL permit, A few areas may be off limit but will be posted. (most of the time)
Good luck.

Oh don't forget a door prize or two for the gathering Saturday night. It's the highlight of the event!
Sounds good, my son's and I will be out tomorrow for about half day then out Saturday and look forward to the boasting, lying er uh gathering session Saturday night.
Old
Thanks guys. I'm pretty familiar wth the laws. I've hunted there before but never for coyotes. I've been doing a lot of research and that's how I ended up finding this site.
Hope we all kill a few!
Theres a few showed up no fur that i know of yet. Pat missed one on his first stand! Hunted hard 2 days never saw anything. Hunted today with Lineman Steve again we saw 5 but never had any shots. Finally starting to get lined out, miss those who didnt make it this yr first 2 cabins look like a ghost town not even a fire. Looking forward to meeting you new guys this weekend.
Man I wish I could be there. My vacation days don't kick in till next month. But I know my cousin and his boy are heading there tomorrow.
My son and I arrived thurs.mid day,, license changed? Had to get for fri.-sunday,, up at this time getting ready to locate and hunt!,,stopped at wranglers yesterday afternoon to see Frog,, but he musta been after it!
Good luck to all,,

Way to bang em! It looks like You're the first with fur.
We need back story!
Nice set of chompers on her, reminds me of Jack London's story about White Fang.
:yoyo: :yoyo: I knew there was gonna be blood!!!!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin:
Way to go Riverboss !! Keep at them.
my Son and I got out there late today, but out there for about 4 hours didnt see a thing went in for the dover side. will be back out tomorrow, were kinda the blind leading the blind thow having never been out there, but it was good to get out in the woods. what campgound are you guys as at so that we can drop by tomorrow?
Thanks
Wranglers.... it is the horse campground. Easy to find if your comming off the highway onto the trace going south. Just follow the signs
Went at it pretty hard yesterday,,11 sets , wind kept swirling in the evening so that was a bit of a bummer.
was out try to locate howl at 4 a.m. without response??...dont know whats up with them!
Time to get back after them!!
X
Its on! :jump:
They don't always howl back so don't give up on the howls, especially during breeding season. I find they come in on the sneak most of the time.
No report for today? I would say the wind made it some tough hunting at lbl,we had winds here in graves 15 to 30 all day
The hunts in the books in a few hours. What a great trip even with the lack of members not being able to make it.
Sure hope those who couldnt make it all know they were missed!
We had nice weather and meet several new friends[emoji106] im sure we will meet again, Pat did a great job as usual and i personaly would like to thank those who donated door prizes[emoji122] they were top notch!
Hunting was hard! I can't wait till everyone makes it home to see what the total number was as some were going out this morn. Lineman Steve and i left last night and are home already![emoji42]
So far i had killed 2 femals Pat had missed 1 a new guy had lost one sorry i cant remember his name!
Steve and i had seen 11 and Steve passed on 4 marginal shots[emoji106]
I ran over a bobcat last night on the trace comeing home and couldnt find it. Jim took plenty of pics and should have a great write up to come.
Heres a pic of my last coyote they must of been starving because the would run over a decoy and veryl ittle scat had hair in it just persimon seeds.
Photo.
Pic of the new upgrades to the cabins! Heat and air that cant be takin by horse riders. Most cabins were done with heat but some air needed done, the large cabins had 2 heaters and they did a great job keeping them warm.
They needed that. That will be one less thing to pack next year !!
WTG riverboss. Can't wait to hear more stories.

Its nice but the price is going up some and it take some space in the small cabins. I hope they dont get broke and not fixed those horse people are rough on stuff.

Thanks Okanagan its always alot of fun at LBL even if you dont kill anything. Theres something about good people getting together and shareing the outdoors.
I made it home OK. I have lots of pictures. Just need to upload them to photobucket and get them up! Maybe tomorrow. Been busy today getting caught up here at the house! Jon my hunting buddy killed a coyote here in WV on Saturday!
Jim
Good to hear you made it home safe Jim! I sure hope your pics breath life back into it.
Horse riders were stealing the friggin heaters???
Yes Jim they had to buy new ones a few times a yr!
Nice to see that everyone made it home OK. Also enjoyed seeing all the pics from the hunt.
Last call for 2015 LBL calls - after it was all over I still have two of the 2015 calls for sale. $22 delivered TYD.
Thanks - Doug
