Quota deadline for LBL deer hunts

Land Between the Lakes reminds hunters that the July 31 deadline for 2011 quota deer hunt applications is rapidly approaching.

To submit a hunt application, go online to www.lbl.org and apply before the deadline. You can revisit the LBL website in late August and use your login information and password to see if you were drawn and print your permit and maps.

If you are not drawn, your updated preference point information will be displayed.

Quota hunts not only provide unique recreational opportunities within the LBL region, they help maintain a healthy deer population. Deer harvested on LBL are bonus deer and do not count toward statewide bag limits. All quota hunt permits will be either-sex permits. Also, there is an LBL-wide one antlered buck limit.
