I would like to propose a change. Let's see if we can get the powers that be at LBL to agree to let those with a LBL Hunter Use Permit the ability to hunt both the TN and the KY sides.
LBL is ONE complete area even though it is seperated by state boundary lines.

Something else raw data doesn't show.
Last year the Northern part of the Kentucky side got hit HARD by the ice storm. All my favorite places in that part had bad damange with trees down everywhere. it was so bad I didn't ever bother to apply for the hunt.
I didn't hunt but I did hang around the Northern Welcome Station to see the deer brought in. Everybody I talked to that hunted the areas that was hit bad all told the same story. Hunting was hard because the deer were moving different and in different areas than they were used to.
My guess is there could have been more deer taken on the Ky side than was taken.
I've been coyote hunting and scouting LBL for the last 3 mornings and I'm finding some new spots I will try to hunt next year.
Wes, by the way. You were right about those farmers, they did tell me for years about the bucks they saw day after day and the last few years they say it's about equal.

About that one permit, both sides. It's not up to LBL but up to TWRA and KDFWR, state law and hunting rules state you need that states license to hunt each side.
Fort Campbell is different. It is MILITARY land, diffrerent set of rules. Other states that have large military bases that overlap other states has the same deal.
Look at other national forests that overlap other states. Each state requires their license to hunt their side of the NF.

Actually, that one on the bottom looks like one hit by a truck on Highway 79.

Both FEDERAL though. I wonder why Military is different when talking about hunting whitetail deer?

Just to clarify . . . . .
Many people may not be aware that both LBL and Ft. Campbell straddle the state line between TN and KY. LBL is just a few miles farther west (and across the Cumberland River) from Campbell.
To hunt at LBL, you must have an LBL User Permit IN ADDITION to your deer hunting license(s) for whichever state you're hunting (KY or TN). This LBL User Permit is NOT included with your Sportsman's License, NOT included with your Lifetime License. It has traditionally only been available from LBL, but is now also available thru TWRA ---- key point is it's NOT included in your Sportsman/Lifetime License like most other WMA permits.
Likewise, there is a Ft. Campbell permit required, which is also NOT included in your Sportsman/Lifetime licenses. But unlike LBL, you can hunt either side of the state line at Campbell with either a KY or a TN deer-hunting license.

Fort Campbell is different. It is MILITARY land, diffrerent set of rules. Other states that have large military bases that overlap other states has the same deal. One other note: You are only allowed two deer from LBL. If you kill two in KY, you are done, if you kill two in TN, you are done and if you kill one in each state, you are done. Only one of the two can be antlered. They are combining the limit but not the permit. Nothing like a Federally run outfit. Both FEDERAL though. I wonder why Military is different when talking about hunting whitetail deer?

Sorry if I'm repeating (I'm sure I am), but everyone knows that Kentucky has bigger deer than Tennessee. DUH!!! 
The deer don't cross that state line. It's like Thermocell for "big" deer!
