I know this information may not interest some of y'all on here but I see a few Indiana tags around this area every deer season . I've been trying to find out crossbow use information at the Land Between the Lakes recreation area . Woodys been giving me moral support as I posted this question on another site . I received a e-mail today from LBL with the following information:
Kentucky portion : If you have a hunting methods exemption form from the KDF&W and it is signed by your doctor you can use a crossbow during general archery deer season on the Kentucky side of LBL.
Tennessee portion : Crossbows are legal for anyone to use throughout the general archery deer on the Tennessee side of LBL .
General Archery Deer Season opens September 24 and closes January 16 for Kentucky and Tennessee portions of LBL . They do close archery down one day before and one day after Quota Gun Hunts . You would need to check these hunt dates for the portion you plan to hunt .
This information has been a little confusing since LBL lies in two states . Kentucky has postponed their crossbow expansion this year and Tennessee has passed their expanion into archery deer season . To those not familiar with LBL ... the area consist of 170,000 acres to hunt with relatively light pressure and I beleve has the best potential as far as public ground goes to harvest 130" or better deer . The deer are smart though .... you have to do your homework .
