KT as you know by now the hills down there are straight up and down and barren. the deer population is almost nonexistant so dnr tried the boars hoping to have something for the locals to hunt. Used to be by permit from a drawing only. The mining companies posted bonds when they stripped those mountains but the cost of proper reclaim was far higher than the amounts of the bonds so they forfieted. The state ended up with the bond money and all that land they couldnt afford to reclaim. Befriend a local and find out where the native brook trout streams are and you can have a ball fishing. Most of the streams are not much wider than a good size ditch running down those mountains but if you sneak up on the stream so the fish dont see you and use a small worm on your hook you can catch them and they fight like a fish 10 times their size.
