I got drawn for area 12 Dec 3-4 can't believe it wonder if that chewing out I gave them about squirrel season had anything to do with it.

See yall Nov 20th.
Nov 20 area 16. This will be my 1st time to area 16 and nearly 20 since a LBL hunt. Looking forward to it.
Well now I drew the KY side like expected. Unless it changes again today!

I haven't given up hope yet, but it looks like I'll only be bowhunting LBL this year. I'll be sure to save a few for you guys that have drawn.

We got what was expected... two KY Nov. 6 youth hunts in 10 and a TN hunt on Nov. 20. Really can not ask for better dates for gun hunts, so I'm glad to draw this year.
Now, just need the fortitude to drive 4-5 hours. Daughter already has a cheer conflict.

Didn't LBL have buck size slots previously for 4 points or 15 inches? I can't find any now. Anyone know?
Nov gun area 15
Not that I'm aware of, and I've been hunting there since 1986.
My group got lucky and drew the November hunt.

No.
Main change regarding bucks has been with the annual limit.
LBL bucks used to be "bonus" not counting against statewide bag limits.
They now count towards the statewide bag limit.
In times past, the archery season buck limit was one;
while those drawn for the quota gun hunt ("bonus" buck tag)
would have an annual LBL limit of two bucks (if one killed in archery segment).
Also, in times past, hunters could additionally increase their annual LBL buck limit by purchasing licenses in both KY & TN. This is no longer the case.
Today, the annual LBL antlered buck limit is one (1), period or one maybe.
This means if you kill an antlered buck during the October archery season,
and were drawn for the quota gun hunt in November,
YOUR quota gun hunt would therefore become "antlerLESS" only.
Again, the annual buck limit at LBL is simply one (1), period or one maybe.
Doesn't matter whether you kill it archery or on a quota gun hunt.
But if you kill it during archery, YOUR quota gun hunt becomes antlerLESS only.
What's more, say you kill a couple bucks during the TN statewide muzzleloader season segment BEFORE your LBL quota gun hunt. THEN, your LBL quota gun hunt becomes antlerLESS only because all LBL bucks count towards the respective statewide buck limit.
In other words, should you limit out on bucks "statewide" before your LBL quota gun hunt,
your LBL quota gun hunt becomes antlerLESS only.

Adding to the confusion are the terms antlered, antlerless, buck, and doe.
Note that the limits are technically defined as antlered or antlerless,
and NOT as buck or doe.
An antlered doe would count towards the "buck" limit;
while a button buck would count as a "doe" (technically antlerless).
Current definition of antlered is one or more antlers protruding 3" or more above the hairline.

Except on KY side, antlered is above hairline.

All the driving around and squirrel hunting this year I have yet to see one deer. The place has gone down hill.
