    Also, does anyone know what this is? Private land within the forest? I know it’s common, digital maps can be sketchy with what is owned by who...

    Elkinsville is nasty terrain- you better have some stout 4 wheel drives if you plan on getting back in there and don't go alone. Take two trucks to make sure you get out!

    Check out this site


    Bars not so much---- Drive to Bloomington- College town- plenty to choose from
    Eats - Sargent Rick's - Freetown, Hitching Post -Norman
    Small Grocery store/gas/sandwiches - Denny's Freetown

    Map on Fork Ridge. HNF outlined in red. Circles are suggested scouting/hunting spots.

    I bumped a buck in the south fork marsh Wednesday but duck season is starting. Couldn’t tell how big he was.

    I’m just happy you didn’t get a room at the Motel 6 in Bton. Those suggesting that roach hole are obviously from out of town.

    Have you looked at the Morgan-Monroe State Forest at all?

    It wasn’t bad when I stayed there. I’ve stayed in a lot worse traveling for work.

    The room itself might have been fine, but the clientele at that place is seedy at best.

    I’ve been hearing some reports that the hunting is bad this year, lots of deer dead to disease, I’ll be staying in Crawford County.
