Archery Season
Deer hunters have been busy erecting tree stands and practicing their aim
as archery season is fast approaching. Both the Tennessee statewide season
and LBL opens on the fourth Saturday in September each year.
Land Between The Lakes archery season will open September 26 to January
18, 2010. The only exception is for quota hunt days and the day
immediately before each quota hunt. The quota hunt days for the Tennessee
portion are Oct 24-25, Nov 13-14, and Nov 28-29. The quota hunt days for
the Kentucky portion are Oct 24-25 and Nov 20-21.
During LBL’s archery season hunters may harvest two white-tailed deer,
including one antlered buck, unless a buck has already been harvested on
LBL. Deer harvested on both the Kentucky and Tennessee portions of LBL are
bonus deer and do not count towards the statewide deer bag limit.
Appropriately licensed archers can also harvest one turkey of either sex
(requires state turkey permit), squirrels, woodchucks, feral hogs, and
coyotes. Hunters are not required to check in for deer archery hunting at
LBL, but must have a valid state hunting license, big game permit, and
hunters age 16 and over need to purchase an LBL Hunter Use Permit ($20).
A Hunter Safety Card is required as specified by state law. And all
hunters under age 16 who hunt on LBL are required to have attended a
hunter safety course. Hunters must abide by regulations in the 2009-2010
Deer Hunting Information sheets which are available at all LBL visitor
facilities and at www.lbl.org or by
calling 270-924-2065.
Tennessee’s 2009 deer archery season will open across the state on
Saturday, September 26.
The archery season dates in Unit A, Unit B and Unit L this year will be
September 26 – October 30, November 2-6 and December 7 ‑ December 18.
TWRA urges all archery hunters to pick up a 2009 Tennessee Hunting and
Trapping Guide to review and become familiar with the counties and bag
limits for each of the different deer management units.
