LBL is upgrading their reservation system AGAIN this year. No reservations for Wranglers can be made until February 1, 2011. That is kind of short notice for the LBL hunt the first week of February and clearly won't work well for us. Last year I was able to convince them to let us make reservations in December, but they weren't going for it this year. However, what they are going to do is issue us a group permit (and waive the permit fee) for the first week of February. This means we are assured of having all of the cabins, but we also have to do our own internal reservations. That's what this thread is for. Post here what cabin you want and the dates you will need it, and I'll keep track of it. Also post if you have any empty beds available so we can do our best to make sure everyone who wants to, can stay at Wranglers. Now to be clear, I am not paying for the cabins or collecting money. Whoever is staying in a cabin is responsible for paying for it upon arrival. I am not yet sure if payment can be made by check or credit card, or if it must be in cash. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.
This is a link to a map of the Wranglers Campground: http://www.lbl.org/08WranglersMap.pdf
The cabins are kind of along the right side in the areas labeled "A" and "B". They are the little house shapes in the black squares with an L or S inside (to denote large or small) There are seven large and five small cabins (see the list below)
Jimmie in KY takes A-2 and CCP takes A-3. We use those two cabins as our rallying point to meet up in the evenings. It's these guys helping to put things together to make this an enjoyable outing. And with them together in the 2 front cabins our activities won't be spread out around the campground.
This is what we have so far:
LARGE CABIN (sleeps 7)
1 A2 Jimmie in KY (reserved)
2 A3 CCP (reserved) No empty beds
3 A23 Weedwalker (reserved Wed., Thur., Fri. & Sat.) No empty beds
4 A25 Coyote101 (reserved Mon., Tue., Wed., Thur., Fri., & Sat.) No empty beds
5 B1 kyfuzzyface (reserved Mon., Tue., Wed., Thur., Fri., & Sat.)
6 B15 securepro (reserved Fri., & Sat.) No empty beds
7 B23 wked (reserved Thur., Fri., & Sat.) 1 empty bed
SMALL CABIN (sleeps 3)
1 A4 Yotehntr (reserved Wed., Thur., Fri., Sat.)
2 A24 Semp (reserved Wed., Thur., Fri., & Sat.)
3 B10 eleaf (reserved Wed. & Thur.)
jeremy (reserved Fri. & Sat.)
4 B16 Frogman (reserved Wed., Thur., Fri., Sat., & Sun.)
5 B22 pabrushwolf (reserved Thur.,Fri., & Sat)
I'd like to get A-23 for Feb 2, 3, 4, & 5. Check out on 6th.
Pat
A24 nights of Feb 2,3,4,5 will check out on Feb 6 This might change a day or so. Don't know yet.
I'll take A4 Feb 2-6
Now remember folks one of you will be responsible for that cabin foir what ever day your all there. So who ever is staying where will have to appoint one to cover it. The cabin will be in their name for that time period.
I don't think they can do credit card at the gate since the gate has never had to take in charges for reservations before to my knowledge. So it will likely be cash or check.
If I can , I am going up there to the office next week. Jimmie
I'll be gone for the next several days but I should be able to get to the internet at least once a day to update this. Happy Thanksgiving.
Pat
Put B-16 down for Frogman for now. Feb 2-6 tentatively. Not yet sure who all is joining me this year or what days they can come??
Jim
Old Joe and Biscuits is planning on 1/31 /11 til 2/06/11 and I have plans to make it sometime during that time (ASAP) along with
ech hunter and ASharp (If he can get off work) so put us down for B1
Please go ahead and put me and Deerdad down for B-23. We will be there 3rd, 4th and 5th, checkout on the 6th.
Can you sign me up for B10 from 2.2-4 (leaving Friday morning)?
Thanks
Only one small (B22) and one large (B15) cabin left.
B22 Thur Frid & Sat
There is one large cabin (B15) still available.
Pat
I would like B-15 for the 4,5 and checkout on the 6th, glad I checked this thread ! I've been waiting to reserve a cabin.
I may have one to fill Eleafs cabin after he leaves friday morning. He just hollered at me last night. Dont have confirmation he wants it yet. Jimmie
FozzyBear and I were discussing getting a cabin this morning but it looks like they have all been taken now. If any one has room It looks like FozzyBear, his son and I will be going. BUT there is the possibility that he will be bringing two more with him "both female" just not real sure about that yet. SO if any one has room to spare to put us up just let me know.
Slag, can you post pics of those females ? can they cook ? :laf: lol jus kiddin..... but as of right now I have 4 people in B15, that could possible change between now and then to 2, I will let you know if something changes.
It will be just my son and I . The girals back out.
Our cabin is not full. There are 5 bunks available in b-23. Just let me know and we'll keep a list. As is typical of the cabins on the lbl hunt, no bs'n allowed. :laf: Keep in mind that we drink, dip, cuss, and spit.
Ya left out fart and snore. :laf:
They will take credit cards at the campground, however they are only going to be open from 8:00 till 10:00am daily. So now I have to work out something so we can check guys in that arrive after 10:00am and they can settle up the next morning. Shouldn't be a big deal, I'll try to keep everyone updated.
Pat
Pat,
Thank you for all your efforts via the campground reservations!
Jim
Yes coyote101, we do appreciate your work on this (along with others). Just had 2 more commit to b-23 so it is down to 3 bunks left.
:doh2: I meant checking out the 6th. Like everyone else.
All the cabins gone?

Mike,
The cabins are all reserved, but there may be beds available in some of them. How many do you need? We'll see if anyone has room.
It looks like wked has some beds in B-23. Send him a pm.
Pat
Gonna be three of us and we have a ton of crap. We may need to do a motel room.
Was wondering if anybody had 2 bunks left. I have been trying since Richard let me join his prostaff. It will be my son coming with me. If there is any room I would greatly appreciate it.
If you have a cabin reserved please let me know if you have any empty beds available, and if so, how many. Post it in this thread or send me a PM so I can update page one. Mine and wked's are the only ones I know about right now. Thanks.
Pat
We have 3 bunks left.
Since eleaf is leaving Friday morning and the guy who was going to take his cabin after that never got back with Jimmie, cabin B-10, one of the small cabns, is still available Friday and Saturday.
Pat
B10 is no longer available. Roundman has it for Friday and Saturday.
A3 no empty beds..
After reading my post I know I sounded pretty stupid. Please let me introduce myself and apoligize. My name is Troy Sheckels and I am from Maryland. Three years ago Richard let me on his staff. I tried every year to get to this great event and one thing or another kept happening and couldn't. This year I am in the position where I can come. If anyone has 2 bunks left for me and my son I would greatly appreciate it. Could you let me know here on this thread . I will be glad to kick in for our part. I am able to be there Thus,Fri,Sat.
Thanks, Troy
Hey Troy, welcome to Fins and Fur. wked still has three beds in his cabin. We'll see if we can't link you guys up so you and your son can stay with him and his group.
Pat

Anything else would just be boring.
Roundman and his group have understandably decided that they don't want to move on Friday so they will not be taking cabin B10. Cabin B10, one of the small cabins, is once again available for Friday and Saturday.
Pat
Hey,Troy
Welcome to FnF. I see you have already met some of the gang. :biggrin: Jump right in and make yourself at home. :wink:
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Hi this is pa brushwolf, just letting you know that I and wv-yoter will be coming down to join you. We will be bunking with Frogman. Looking forward to seeing everyone and killing some coyotes. Look out coyotes here we come!! Hope everyone has a save and happy holidays. See ya soon!
We still have a small cabin (B10) available Friday and Saturday if anyone is interested.
Pat
coyote 101, you say that B10 is available for fri and sat night. If so can you pm your phone number or information to get this reserved. Thanks Jeremy
Welcome to the site Jeremy :wink:
Thanks, I am really looking forward to meetin some of you fellers. Just leave some dogs for the new guy in camp.
Pat,
Do we need to contact Wranglers about our reservation or have you already taken care of everything? Also do you need us to send any money to cover the reservation? Thanks again for your efforts on our behalf!!
Jim
Jim,
Wranglers is not taking reservations we are doing it ourselves, that is what this thread is for. What you see on page 1 is what we have at this point. Payment will be made to the folks at Wranglers when you arrive, or in the morning following arrival, if you get there after 10:00 am. Looking forward to seing you in a few weeks.
Pat
I drove over to Wrangler's this morning and worked out the details for getting us into the cabins. I will go over there on Monday the 31st and pick up the keys for all of the cabins. Then as guys arrive throughout the week I will get the cabins opened and hand over the keys to whoever is first to arrive for that cabin. The next day, between 8:00 and 10:00 someone from that cabin will have to go to the front gate and pay for however many nights the cabin will be used. Should be fairly painless. I will get in touch with all of you who have reserved a cabin to get a contact number and estimated day and time of arrival so I don't have to hang out at the campground all day every day waiting for you to arrive. If you have any questions, call, PM, email me, or post them here. I look forward to seeing everyone the week after next.
Pat
Darrin and I should be getting there Thursday afternoon. Most likley around 3 maybe a little later.
Ol'Joe and me will be arriving monday on the 31. :yoyo: :yoyo:
You expect to be there around 10:00 Biscuit?
Pat
Plan on being there by 9am if i can get joe out of bed and on the road :hahaha: :sleep:

Well i guess joe can sleep one more hour without hurting the schedule to bad :readthis: JK
Pat
George Ackley and I should get there about 6pm on Wednesday the 2nd we are staying in the cabin Jimmie in ky gets
if anyone is interested we have had 2 people back out of the trip. that leaves 2 bunks open if anyone is needing a place to stay.
Hey Art ^^^^^ :wink:
Hey Pat
They take plastic for payment, right?
Does anyone know what the cabin prices are this year? :shrug:
The large cabins are $55 a night. I think the small ones are $35.

Hey Pat

Yes sir.
Pat
Unfortunately Mike (msmith) may not be able to make it to LBL this year and is going to have to give up his cabin. So B22, one of the small cabins, is now available for the whole week. If anyone is interested please let me know.
Pat
B22 is now available.
pabrushwolf wants B22!
Jim
We have at least 3 bunks in b-23. Due to work Darian and 1 shot 1 kill are not going to be able to make it.
pabrushwolf has it Jim.
I'll have AT LEAST 1 bed in B10 for Wed and Thurs night (a small cabin), perhaps 2. My hunting partner is likely to flake out.
How do we go about checking in and making sure that nothing gets too screwed up? What is the best entrance coming from the east?
I've never been to LBL so I'm completely unfamiliar with how it works down there.
Hwy 68 west across Lake Barkley. When you get to "The Trace" go south on it about 1 mile. You'll see a sign that says turn left to go to Wranglers Campground. It's about 5 miles down that road on the right. Stop at the guard house to check in between 8-10AM CST. If nobody's in there, go to the 2nd cabin and look for Coyote101 (Pat).

I DEFINITELY won't be there by 10am. I won't be leaving home (just south of Lexington) until about 10am. :sleep:
Don't worry about finding anything cause they got signs to tell you there is a sign coming down that away :wink:.
Hello,
are there any spaces available ? I know its short notice. Id like to come down Friday and Sat night...
We have some bunks in B-23. If you want shoot me a pm and we can exchange info.
wked-- BoarSlayer can't PM til he gets 25 posts under his belt. It's a SPAM thing. You will have to go total e-mail on the new guy. :eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:
Can he receive them? I just tried to send him one. Don't have his email address. Are you gonna be able to make it or has the wifeweather messed you up? Hope you can get down here!
KyBoarSlayer, if you just show up I think you can find a bed :wink:, all you gotta do is be first to bed :eyebrow:, watch out for second to bed though :alscalls:.
It would take a brave (or maybe foolish!) soul to crawl into just any bed at lbl. :alscalls: :alscalls:
