FNG from Ohio/Kentucky

[ingramjri]

Greetings all:

I primarily hunt whitetail in Ohio, Kentucky, and occasionally West Virginia. In Ohio, I hunt where I can, but in Kentucky I focus on backpack archery hunts in Daniel Boone National Forest, where it's plenty steep and plenty thick. I also try for quota rifle hunt tags at Land Between the Lakes and have been successful there. I enjoy hunting from a stand (especially in Ohio) but what I'm really attracted to is "western-style" adventure hunting, so I fill the majority of my hunting time trying to get as close to that experience as I can, backpacking in and packing meat out (on those rare occasions when I tag something other than a squirrel).

To that end I'm interested in some of the gear reviews and tactical forums and am looking forward to learning from you all and hopefully becoming a better hunter. The best case scenario would be to find someone local who is into the same kind of hunting and looking for a hunting buddy, but I know that may be a long shot.

Anyway, cheers and good luck this season!

Jonathan Ingram, Cincinnati

Glad to see some fellow Roksliders in the area!! I'm in Louisville.

Jon- Welcome to the site! Might be interested in picking your brain on DBNF if you are up for it.

Slade is pretty much my entry point...I hunt Red River Gorge and Clifty Wilderness. Tough hunting but incredibly fun. Colorado is pretty much where I want to be...but alas, my wife is from Cincy, which pretty much means I'm from Cincy.

I searched DBNF to see if anyone here in central KY was doing the public land, backpack hunt thing in my neck of the woods and came across this post. If you happen to see this reply (I realize it's an old post, just came up because of the search) I'd be interested to get some advice from you. I'm looking to do something similar this fall.
