Because kY manages the herd for big bucks,get the Ky DNR mag,they say it,no aplogies,and ,the best county in Ky is very near there,why wouldnt it be.I only consider Ky great in big buck production,but on this forum,thats all that counts,at least to me.
Please tell me your being sarcastic.

ky fish and wildlife doesnt manage lbl.
lbl is surrounded by water so the nearby co. thing flys out the window as well.
The ky side of lbl doesnt even stack with the surrounding counties as far as the way it set up. crops v timber

how is a surrounding county gonna assist when its surrounded by water on all of the KY sides?
Im not real sure what your getting at.
Just because christian, trigg, graves and some of those co. produce big deer, it doesnt mean squat. its like comparing apples to oranges.

You just named some of the best big buck counties in the whole country!!!!!How could it hurt????If it was surrounded by crappy producing counties it would be different.

I've hunted LBL since 1964, hunted both the Ky and Tn sides for years. The very first deer I shot was a 14 pointer on the Tn side of LBL.
That being said after all these years both are mostly equal today. For years I would have picked KY side, not only because I knew it better but I saw more big bucks on that side all the time plus the two guys that used to farm most of LBL also told me several times that the KY side held more big bucks from what they saw everytime they was working the crops.
More hardwoods and less crops does not always mean more big bucks, the saving grace for LBL here is that the mature hardwoods is mostly oak leaving tons of acorns every other year. Had the woods been a different mix we would be seeing different kinds of bucks.
One more thing. KDFWR and TWRA do NOT run LBL, the USDA Forest Service does. TVA used to run the place but let it go down for years with the change the FS is trying to make it better with a better balance of the heard while at the same time fighting the treehuggers and PETA types.
