Land Between the Lakes–Don’t poach deer in LBL!
Kudos to the LBL law enforcement who recently wrapped up a poaching case which resulted in the seizure of this massive buck. The 14-point deer was taken illegally in LBL and was scored at 187.
After an investigation across multiple state lines, the hunter forfeited the mount, was issued a mandatory violation notice in federal court and issued fines and restitution. The case was assisted by several state and federal agencies. LBL consults with Kentucky and Tennessee to establish hunting rules and regulations within the National Recreation Area.
