    I'm from Adams county, close to Liberty population is 7-800 I think. Where I hunt is aboit 10 miles east there and closer to Adams and Pike county line, and actually fairly close to Silom Springs state park when you look at map.

    So I'm guessin in Buckhorn RD area? Used to travel through that area a lot when worked in Mt Sterling. Idk if your familiar with the area much but if you're go past main entrance of park headed south and come to 104 and head back east it'd be about maybe 1/2 mile before coming to Pike county line.
