Chaneylake Hunt Club is off of Hwy 70 between Brownsville and Stanton.
The Main Office of the HNWR is off of Hwy 76 near I-40 exit 56, just a few miles outside of Brownsville......
If you took 385 to 64 and then went east, you might have passed through Somerville. If so, then if you had taken hwy 76 North, you would have driven right through the heart of HNWR and seen the signs for O'Neal lake and the Refuge office.
While in Arlington, if you had taken Hwy 70 North or maybe east, you would have driven through several small towns, but after you got out of Stanton, you would soon pass by the entrance to CLHC....
I have never been to any other parts of the HNWR system. I think there is only two, but I may be mistaken. We live near the MAIN division...11,566 acres.
i did not know that there were any refuge areas near hwy. 64, but I certainly do not know everything......contrary to popular belief......lol
Did you actually see a HNWR sign or just a sign for the HATCHIE RIVER,,,,?? curious.....
thanks Actually went to the co op inSomerville,then went back,thats right,on 76 I guess,sign said Hatchie NWR

. I've hunted north enough in recent years to be firmly convinced that there is little if any difference in the age structure between here and there. But, there is about 20" more bone in every age class on up the road.
Good post. I've seen the exact same thing.

Hwy 76 runs from Somerville to Brownsville and if driving that road, you will pass the HNWR office on the right just as you pass the big lake.....did you get on the interstate at exit 56?
When you got on the interstate, if you did, you were closer to Chaneylake's house than the hunting club or my house....
you were in the area, though.....

I highly suspect if a person looked at the percentage of the county in agricultural production on each side of the line for those that there might be a real clue on why one set might be growing some better antlers. I have no greveance with anY TWRA official at all,would love for you ,SCN,to come to my land in Perry county,but after being in Shelby county today,and seeinf=g every inch of ground in corn,but mostly soy beans,it did look a whole lot like WKY
And that's why that area produces so many trophies. I use a taxidermist in Jackson who's shop is loaded with huge bucks taken from the counties surrounding Shelby County.

Take maps of Alfisol or Milisol soils, and cross reference that to maps of planted acres of soybeans and corn per county and then maps of crops yeilds per acre per county and that's a pretty amazing match to the areas that produce the most B&C bucks.

Looking at the map,the river counties,Mississippi,river counties,look like the same dirt as Butler Ky,and from what I saw on my trip,there is plenty of cover,plenty of food.Whats the difference,limits,and ,I think its called Bergmans law,but Im not sure that 75 north makes a difference or not.
