LBL Deer Hunting 2024

I have not received anything from them. But now in my Preference Point history it says I got a preference point.
 
No email yet, but just checked mine. It says I got something for our party of 5. I really did not expect to draw this year....I chose any area in TN and two specific areas in KY. I probably got the worst area on TN side is my guess. :)

I hate to even bump this thread because I know people get excited. I do.

The application period has been closed for over two weeks. I don't understand, in this day and age, what's taking so long. It's all computers; they hit a few buttons and run the lottery. It would be great to know for planning purposes.

I did predict it'll be today though, we'll see

Drew Kentucky Nov. 01-03. Surprised as I had no preference points.
 
We drew 2nd choice pick in KY. KY just has better odds to draw. They added a 2nd hunt this year and the buck counts statewide for their one buck limit.

We got Nov.1-3 in Area 10. I chose the area because somewhat familiar with it since we hunted during juvy a few years ago. You can also do horseback rides during that early weekend if wanted. The teenagers enjoy that.

I just booked the last 8 man cabin at Wrangler Campground from Oct. 31-Saturday 2nd. Check-out by 3:30 unless someone cancels a reservation by then. We may end up having some room. Party has 5, but good chance that 2 will drop out. One just had shoulder surgery last week and the other is already complaining about the out of state license.


Anyway, we may have a couple of bunks available closer to hunt. We bring a Keurig, George Forman grill and cook steaks on fire. Enjoy your favorite beverage. Since it is Halloween night, we may go roll the next door cabins trees. :)

I had trouble finding the map book:

I will still enter draw for another specific WMA on same weekend, but no way we will draw that...so looks like I can start planning for 5 weekend hunts this Nov. in KY, TN, and GA.
 
My group wanted to do their own thing this year and chose not to put in. I've booked a cabin at Paris Landing SP for the weekend and will be going at it solo.

10 days from the early hunt. What is the deer report currently for Stewart County? Based on what I've been reading it sounds like the mass crop is slim?

I scouted a day 2 weeks ago. Found very few acorns, Kentucky side, on the ground . Using binos didnt see many in the trees either. No buck sign, scrapes or rubs yet. Very little AG, corn and beans, this year. like always, find food find deer unless the hogs find it first. no shortage of those critters.
