Hoosier National Forest

[JeepKuntry]

Started researching places in Ky & Oh for diy bowhunts. Think I have landed on Hoosier National Forest in In. Probably late Oct to mid Nov timeline. Diy bow hunt where we scout for 1-2 days then hunt 3-5. May be a solo trip. Any east Tn folks up for a roadtrip. Split gas n lodging? If anyone has hunted there I would love suggestions.

Let me know when you go. I've turkey hunted it at least.

Snagged a half gallon of Buffalo Trace for the trip next fall!

It's good stuff. Around here it's a cult following. So when you find it you stock up because it may be months before finding more!

If it wasn't my last semester in school I'd be there. I'm Definitely going to plan something for 2024.

I turkey hunted several times back in the 90's between Shoals and French Lick. I really wouldn't be of much help with the deer hunting, but there will be plenty of room to roam and I would suggest that there are a lot of good deer there too. Good luck!

I've hunted the hoosier past 4yrs and if you put in the time and leg work there are some nice ones in there.

I have actually been doing the same research. I was looking at Ohio but came across Hoosier and I think it might be a better option for me too. I haven't made up my mind yet though as I may have access to a small track of private in western Ohio through a work friend.
