moving to Richmond, KY, who's near by?

John in MO / TX · January 01, 2007, 10:59:00 PM

I'll be moving to Richmond, Kentucky in late July or early August. I was wondering if there are any Trad Gangers near there. It sure would be nice to have someone to shoot with and help me get familiar with the area.

Just be sure and come to the KTBA shoots in Harrodsburg starting later this month. I live a pretty good ways from Richmond but there are several from that area. They should chime in at some point. ktbaonline.com

Heck ya man your about an hour from our KTBA club, Kentucky Traditional Bowhunters Association, a butt load of public land, archery deer season and archery fall turkey open Sept 1 -Jan 15.

What brings you to KY?

John in MO / TX · January 01, 2007, 11:37:00 PM

Hi Guys,
The KTBA shoots look great. I will definitely be attending those.

My wife just accepted a job teaching at Eastern Kentucky University. She starts in the fall. I work from home for a company based in Missouri, so I can live just about anywhere.

I am really looking forward to Kentucky. I'm from Missouri, but we have been in Texas for a few years. The people here are great, but the hunting situation is alot different than what I was used to in Missouri. I think Kentucky will be similar to what I'm used to. Thanks for the replies. I look forward to meeting you guys at the shoots.

Hey John don't forget to keep in touch with your bear buddy when you get it all fiquered out. Good luck Greg

John in MO / TX · January 02, 2007, 01:41:00 PM

Hey Greg,
How could I forget the man with the fastest knife in all of Kodiak! Guys, if you're ever getting circled by a Kodiak bear while quartering a blacktail, Greg is the man you want to have with you. Once I get Kentucky scouted out (hopefully with the help of these nice guys and gals), you'll have to come down.

p.s.
Do you think you could make it for a week of Missouri Whitetails this October?

Pinecone · January 02, 2007, 01:44:00 PM

You will love Kentucky! Great people and exceptional hunting make it a wonderful place to live. Good Luck!

Thanks for posting, everybody. I am really looking forward to the move. It looks like I only need to be in the state for 30 days to get a resident license, so I should be all set for fall deer and turkey. Thanks again everybody, I look forward to meeting you all
