When you apply, do you only have to pay the $5.00 application fee or do you have to pay for your tag also like you would when you apply for a preference point in Colorado?

Just the $5.

Any one ever hunted this place? If so, with what weapon? Success? Any chances at success?

We've hunted the bow hunt two times. The woods are really nice and open, saw deer most every time. Saw a couple of huge bucks > 170 in the tree , but never got them to come close enough. I would be concerned about hunting the gun hunts as they put a couple hundred folks in a specific area for two days. Its a lot of walking and its much more hilly than us south Alabama hunter are used to. It was a good time. My son got a doe each time we went, I did not elect to shoot a doe as we were too far from the truck.
I would go again

Would a boat be any advantage ?

I have never hunted there but they make some good butter there.

I didn't know that injuns made butter either. Do they use wapiti milk?

I got drawn for muzzle load hunt in zone 8 ... Can anyone give advise to hunt lbl .. Lodging .. Camping .. What is the deer numbers like there ?
I've never been there ... I bow hunt in northern ky ever year , looks like I need to bow hunt lbl this year

Dover Inn for lodging, they have a cooler to hang deer in. Never hunted that zone, good luck...

Thanks bear venue .. I check it out ..

I got my point for next year.

I got some advice for ya on the lbl muzzleloader hunt don't ever put in for ml again. It is going to be wall to wall people the first morning hunt. Everybody puts in for it but what they don't realize is they usually put twice as many hunters in the ml zone as they do the rifle zones. If you ever went to skyline, oakmulgee, barbour, or choccolocco in the late 70's- early 80's that's about what that one area is gonna be like. If I remember right 8 is behind the wranglers camp out to the trace and down to jenny ridge, that area is probably hunted the most of any area bow hunting being so close to the cabins and the large amount of crop fields. Don't get me wrong though if I got drawed I would go you never know what will run over you with that kind of people in the woods. Also I always used to stay there from an hour before daylight to dark, take some lunch with you when everyone heads out for dinner I have had some real good luck. If you come out of the wranglers camp turn left then turn right and follow road it will dead head at river at some horse trails. It is about 2 miles the way the crow flys from there to the four lane and no roads in between, that would be a good place to start in my opinion. People will be comeing in off the highway and off the road you come in on pushing deer toward you. And this time of year up there I would be hunting the hunters rather than the rut cause it is headed down hill by then.

Thanks doc ... Yea there's 200 permits for the zone 8 .. I already know it's gonna be a crowd .. How's the deer numbers there ?
