[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5585080, member: 1409"] I thought about applying for the KY side, but then, decided not. In a coordinated effort geared at preventing the same thing to wild turkey populations that as happened to our bobwhite quail, many WMAs no longer have "bonus" birds, as any turkeys taken there simply count toward the statewide bag limit. But on LBL, not only is there no longer a "bonus" turkey for the quota hunts, but the annual limit is simply one (1) turkey, regardless which side of the state line you get it. If you kill a turkey on the KY side of LBL this year, then you cannot turkey hunt those 2 non-quota weeks on the TN side. I do believe this counting "same as statewide" can only help the turkey populations, but is something avid turkey hunters now have to think about when planning their trips. And would think no more "bonus" birds greatly reduces the number of non-resident hunters on our already crowded WMAs, which will still be crowded, but maybe not as bad as the past few years. [/QUOTE]
