Good luck Lee. I had the pleasure of sharing a week out in Kentucky with former Bear rep Tom Lutz who posted above. Tom invited me out to hunt with him, and stay at his home in Western KY. It was quite an experience. I didn't harvest an animal (my fault), but saw things I had never seen before in Vermont. I got to see a small buck make a scrape,thrash a few small trees, and rub his glands on a branch. I also got to see the most funny thing I have ever seen while hunting. The corn was cut, and I saw doe feeding and sneezing from the stalk dust. Not only did I get to hunt, but I also was able to make a few new "Friends" one of them being Scott who goes under friend on this site. I had biscuits and gravy for the first time at breakfast. I can't forget to mention that the hospitality was wonderful. Thank you Tom, and family!! Lee, be ready; it's a whole new world out there from what it is in the east. Once again, best of luck!
