Only six short months till LBL Hunt time!!!   :yahoo:   February 4, 5, and 6,  2011  will be here before you know it!     :thumb2:

I'm almost done getting packed and ready to go. :yoyo: I'm bringing a rifle this year instead of the shotgun. :innocentwhistle:

I wish, I wish with all my might that Art is ready to go on the right night :innocentwhistle:.

Looking forward to it!

Jim

I'm still planning on being there.  Just got to wait and see how I do on my Dec elk hunt.

It's not a question of one or the other.  The doc said because of the operations I need to stay out of the extreme cold weather.  My elk hunt is in Nov at about 12,000 feet and it will be cold.  If'n I don't fare to well I probably will not make it to the LBL.  However if I do ok or even fairly ok I'll be there. 

I'ma hopin all I can to be there!!  :biggrin:

I talked with Fozzy just a coupel hours ago and he is planning on going. Nothing confirmed yet but we are both trying to make it. It will depend on what happens with this new job if I can go or not. Dont want to tourqe off my new employer.

 :dance: Won't be long!

Barry?...are you guys coming back down?

So thats a yes?

Barry was talking about flying next year.  :wo:  :shrug:

Im comin one of these years!! :biggrin: :biggrin:

John p, our temps are not that bad most of the time. Coldest temp we have had during the hunt was a low of 19 one year with wind chills. Most days are moderate with temps in the upper 30's or low 40's. One year we even hunted in shirt sleeves. High's were in the fifties that weekend, great hunt  :eyebrownod:

Our humidity is what gives most folks trouble. Dang canuck thought he had died and went south  :rolleye: Jimmie

Art are you willing to drive down again :wo:.  Jim if we get you in the van this time trust me you won't get out until we reach Kentucky :innocentwhistle:.  The wife just told me to "go for it, cause I had tooooooooooooooo much of a good time last year :yoyo: :yoyo: :yoyo:.  Tappen what would your ma say to taking a couple weeks off school to go traipsing across the USA with a known idiot :laf: :laf:

uhhh, perhpas " so, youve found someone ya got soemthin in common with eh?" hehe, id have to talk to her about that one, both of the folks.

Well if you guys were driving again, and there was a chance you'd go by here, I'm strongly considering hopping in and with ya's.

My only real dilemma would be trying to get too many days off work.
Kyles at his mothers for the summer. It's looking like he's going to drop out of school and stay up there :rolleye: So that wouldn't be a factor. (were going to try to get him enrolled in the job corps)

Call in dead. Then when you get back you can tell them it was a misunderstanding, it was some OTHER Jim Champion that died. The paper didn't specify which one, so you had to go check it out.  :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:

Hey, thats not a bad idea...not bad at all.  :confused:

QuoteCall in dead

:alscalls: :alscalls:  I work with one of those. Only he comes to work dead.  :alscalls: :alscalls:

Brain dead Art. Seems I gotta deal with that here a lot in Ohio.  :laf: :laf:

Me and my son are planning on coming down this time we are looking fewer to seeing you all  :yoyo: :yoyo: :eyebrow:

Well if Fozzys goin and hes bringing his youngest I guess I will have to try to make it as well.

Hey Art, the hell with them Canadians, swing down here through Arizona and pick me up.  

Jimmy thanks for the weather report, that should seal the deal!

John, I'd allow that but his crazy driving might cause you a heart attack and we wouldn't want that :nono:.

It's ok Bop. You don't bother me none.  :nono: :nono:  I know I can outrun that BITE ME  of yours.   :laf: :laf:

If I can talk my buddy into it I would like to go. I killed my first 2 deer down there on youth hunts and haven't been back since 1990. How does it work as far as how does everyone decide what area to hunt? Like I said I haven't been down there in 20 years and I was 14 at the time so I don't know my way around there. Where does everyone stay?

You can hunt wherever as long as you have a license for that state and a LBL permit. Here's some things that will help. http://forum.finsandfur.net/index.php?topic=4563.0

I have not been on here in some time but it sounds like not much has changed. Looking fwd to seeing you all here soon.

Raven

Nope, not much has changed.  The same nut cases are still here.    :eyebrownod:

Don't let that bother you none Raven!! We know what you're up to "Dad".  :yoyo: :yoyo:

This will be my first LBL Coyote Hunt.  Got a few questions.

1)  Plan on arriving Thursday Night, I have no knowledge of the hunting area.  Will someone point me in the right direction, or is it best to tag along with someone who knows the area.  Possibly could arrive there with some daylight Thursday, to scout some places?? Would that be a waste of time?  I am flying blind.

2)  Shotgun or Rifle?  Any regulations on either, that might differ from normal state regulations.  (Ar-15 30 round, pistol grip shotgun)

3)   If by chance it rains, do you guys still hunt?

4)   Anybody know how much a electric site is at wranglers?

5)   What day do most people show up?

5)   What day do most people show up?

1)  I suggest you get some maps (there is a link on this site to LBL maps)  and pick out some likely spots.  Most of us never scouted LBL the first time either. 

2) Either shotgun or rifle works in February.  T shot or smaller for shotgun.  Center fire rifle of any type or .22 mag if you prefer.

3) Some might hunt in the rain.  I do not.   :nono:

4) Go to LBL website.  It has prices for Wrangler's camp sites and cabins.

5) Most people are there by Friday.  Some come several days earlier though.

Isnt there a 10 round mag limite in Ky? I`m not sure about the LBL reg.

The magazine limit is only for deer hunting. There is no mag limit for coyotes. But while you are traveling in a vehical, all firearms AND MAGAZINES must be unloaded and inside a case.
Varmint, if you get there Thursday night, stop by the 1st 2 cabins in the campground. They can help you out with what to do and where to go. After dark that's where we hang out. You'll find somebody to hunt with there.

I am getting pumped up, can not wait till the hunt!!!!  Thanks for the info c-yall in a month.

varmint i hunted there last year for the first time and i realy enjoyed it :biggrin: i killed one and should have had another.  lots of area to hunt. you can hunt in the rain,snow and sleet if you want to :shrug:

Im not going to let alittle rain spoil my fun but a down pour well thats a little different :nono:

Thanks Ed i thought it was for everything. You killed that big buck yet? Or the black panther?

Man it’s been months since I've been on here heck been on the pc period.  I wish I could make it to LBL this year but not going to make it with the new baby and 2 new jobs and sold the camper 2010 and 2011 has been a handful.  I wanted to say HI to all of the friends I made last year and hopefully will make it down next year.

Palegroe,
Hey, bud! It's good to see you back and :congrats: on the new addition. I'm sorry to hear you won't be attending the LBL, hopefully next year. ;yes;

Hey Palegroe

We was wonderin what happened to ya.   Congrats on the new baby!   :congrats:    Drop in when ya can. 

Congrats on the addition to the family Palegroe!!

Good to hear from ya and sorry ya cant make it to the LBL this year. Hopefully next year.

 Great to hear your alive Palegroe :yoyo:  even better to hear your a father :bowingsmilie:.

I sure do wish i could go this year.  I could use a couple good coyote lessons.

I have read that all guns have to be in cases and magazines unloaded. 

My question, I normally carry a handgun and have my CDW permit. 

Can I carry legally in LBL, using CDW permit??

Used to be no. Now it's maybe. I think it's still going thru the courts. I'm not taking my handgun.

Here is what LBL has been telling people:

"Concealed firearms carry permit does not apply to LBL NRA at this time, although the LE officers at LBL will honor the concealed carry permit if there are no other aggravating circumstances. Examples of aggravating circumstances are, but not limited to, violation of the concealed carry permit itself, shooting from a roadway, or shooting outside of the LBL firearms range”.

So basically, if you keep the gun concealed and out of sight, you should be OK.   There are no guarantees though. 

Thanks, :confused: I guess I will be safe enough with the shotgun and Bustmaster>   :eyebrow:

Nine more days boys. Cant wait!!! Look fwd to seeing all of you.  :highclap: :highclap:
