Hang on fftce67-like I told you over on the NAHC site someone here will come up with a suggestion for you. I've never hunted down your way so I am of little help. Come on guys-he transplanted here from KY and could use some directions.... In the meantime you got any sporting goods stores or bait and tackle shops in the area that you could stop in and ask questions?

We've got too many "honey dos" to catch up on. It will pick up Monday and I'm sure some on here can steer him in the right direction. Hunters helping hunters is what it is all about. WELCOME fftce67!!

Welcome on board!!! I am not sure about the Clark State Forest. Most of the state forest land I have hunted gets a lot of pressure. I agree with TurkeyScout that the HNF might be a better choice. I have always had some sort of interaction down there. What I would do is also check with your district CO (ask a CO post here) and find out who your officer is or who the officer that works CSF and see what they tell you. Most CO's I deal with are eager to share info and treat you well. If I can help any way too I will, just ask! BTW I posted the question on the ask a co thread and we'll see what they say!

Perry County has HNF in it also. Pretty big area, 1/2 hour to 45 min from New Albany. You could google it and see the area. It is right off I64.

fftce67 I got a PM from chicobrownbear and he lives very close to CSF. You might want to PM him and ask him. I have found chico to be entertaining and informative to say the least.

Hey sorry I missed this thread! I could just about walk to CSF barefoot. There are a lot of turkeys in there. I've never turkey hunted there (I am fortunate to have private land), but I do drive through it on my way to work and back every day and usually manage to see birds.
There are "safety zones" that are closed to hunting but it is a very large property with lots of opportunity. I recommend spending some time on the GIS atlas of Indiana for long distance scouting. Look for open strut zones and you will find birds in the spring.
Be prepared to do some walking as well.

Thanks chicobrownbear will do that, I have already figured out that I may have to walk awhile to get to the prime spots.

HNF isn't too bad a drive for you either fftce67. You're looking at a straight shot across 64 to St. Croix. Probably an hour drive.

FFtce67 where are you a FF? I have been one 14 years at Noblesville. I assume you are close to New Albany since you live there. Be safe!
