The first week or so of November would be a great week to hunt there,should be plenty of chasing going on.Just make sure they aren't having any quota guns hunts going on the time your planning being there.

I wonder what the acorn crop is looking like in that neck of the woods..

There is a lot of good advice here and LBL is a nice place.  One word of caution, just because a map and a sign says "No Vehicles" don't count on it when you get there.  5 Years ago when I was last down there, there was almost no enforcement of the restrictions and people drove everywhere they could get.  And there are a lot of roads.  That's the KY side at least.

Slasher, there will be a group of trad hunters camped on the KY/TN border the week after Christmas Day through the 1st of January. You can follow the thread on the TN Trad site at the end of this forum section.

We've got a group of guys planning to drive up from Georgia to hunt LBL (Kentucky side) the weekend of November 3rd. That will be the last weekend of bowhunting and the gun hunt will occur the following weekend I believe. We're hoping to see some rutting activity. This is our first trip up and we may make it an annual hunt if we like it.

Anyone else want to plan to go that weekend?

Just got back from spraying corn in western KY and TN and saw lots of deer from the air. Saw some really nice bucks around the Reelfoot Lake area.

Just wanted to update this thread. I checked the dates for LBL and the youth qouta hunt will be the weekend of November 3rd. We're planning to go up and hunt the next weekend which will be November 10th if anyone is interested.
