To improve the quality of quota turkey hunts, Land Between The Lakes reduced the number of quota permits for each hunt. Applicants can check the quota hunt website, lblquotahunt.hometracker.com/, beginning March 18, to see if they were drawn.

The non-quota hunting season, which does not require prior application, runs for fourteen days, April 20th-May 3rd in Kentucky. Two seven-day hunts occur in Tennessee April 20th-26th and April 27th-May 3rd.

Hunters harvesting a turkey in either state on a Land Between The Lakes quota hunt may now hunt the first week of the Tennessee non-quota hunt. As always, a state license and Land Between The Lakes Hunter Use Permit are required.
