"Grenada Lake is excited to continue this opportunity to kick off the fall hunting seasons," said a spokesperson.
Drawn applicants will be notified of their appropriate hunting location.
Any missing or false information will result in a rejection of the application.
All state and federal small game regulations will be enforced.
Only shotguns will be allowed for this hunt.
