[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5632745, member: 1409"] "Helps" the LBL area in what way? LBL has very little agricultural crops, and poor habitat compared to Ft. Campbell. Yes, there are a few mature bucks there, but [U]on average[/U], antlers scoring less than 120 (my guess). The deer population at LBL is also relatively low (at least currently). That said, yes, LBL has produced several bucks over the years with antlers scoring 150-plus. They are the "outliers". But on a per acre basis, LBL doesn't even come close to what Ft. Campbell has produced over the years. By the way, as my name may imply, I love LBL. But my love for it has as much to do with history, heritage, and several other things. Most accustomed to farmland & urban deer hunting may find LBL a tougher nut to crack, as these deer are very "free roaming" and all the habitat (most any square mile) is more similar than different. Except that the mountains are hills, LBL deer hunting is now somewhat akin to deer hunting in the Cherokee National Forest, i.e., relatively tough hunting, but more of a wilderness type experience than typical WMA's. You go for the totality of the experience, not just to kill a deer. [/QUOTE]
