Applications for 2008 Quota Deer Hunts at Land
Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area will be available
beginning July 1. Applications will be mailed to all hunters who
applied last year.
Deer harvested on LBL are bonus deer and do not count toward
statewide bag limits. New this year, are changes to balance the sex
ratio of the herd and allow more bucks to reach older age classes. All
quota hunt permits will be either-sex permits. Also, there is an
LBL-wide one (1) antlered buck limit.
The Youth Hunt is an either-sex hunt for hunters 6 to 16 years old in
Tennessee and under age 16 in the Kentucky portion. Each participant
must possess a hunter safety card or certificate according to state
regulations and be accompanied at all times by an adult. This year’s
Youth Hunt will be October 18-19 in Tennessee, and October 25-26 in
Kentucky.
Other hunts are scheduled for October 31- November 1 (KY only),
November 7-8 (TN only), and November 29-30 (both KY and TN).
