LBL Quota Deer Hunt Application Deadline July 31
GOLDEN POND, KY - Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area reminds hunters that July 31, the deadline for applications for 2009 quota deer hunts, is rapidly approaching.
To submit a hunt application, go online at www.lbl.org to apply before July 31, 2009. If you are unable to submit your application over the Internet, call 1-800-525-7077 July 13-24, 2009, from 8am-6pm Central Time to apply.
If you apply online, you will receive an email in late August notifying you that the drawing has been completed. You can revisit the LBL website at that time 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.
If you applied by phone, you will need to call 1-800-525-7077 and choose the hunting option. An operator will check to see if you were drawn. A confirmation number will be given to those who were drawn. This number will serve as your permit and must be carried with you at all times during your hunt.
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 (1) antlered buck limit.
Habitat maps and the new LBL Recreation Map (shows the hunt areas and replaced the Public Access Roads & Hunt Area Map this year) are available on the Internet at http://www.lbl.org/VCMaps.html. LBL Recreation Maps are also available for purchase at LBL facilities for $3.
Land Between The Lakes is managed by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, in partnership with "Friends of LBL", to provide public lands outdoor recreation and environmental education. We encourage visitors to review our website at www.lbl.org each season, and throughout the season, for our Calendar of Events, updates on programs and policies, and temporary trail and road closures.
