Only one drawn hunter is scheduled to show up for the Oct 23-27 hunt at Big Lake Bottom WMA. TPWD is hoping several Standby hunters will be there.
Quote:
BIG LAKE BOTTOM WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA
Anderson County
Big Lake Bottom WMA comprises 2,870 acres located 15 miles
southwest of Palestine. The entire area lies within the floodplain of the
Trinity River, and is a remote, heavily forested bottomland hardwood
habitat. It is recommended that hunters bring rubber footware and a
compass.
Portable deer stands that do not damage trees are encouraged and
will increase hunter success. Portable blinds are not available at the Area.
One primitive campground is available to hunters and permit holders.
DUE TO VERY LIMITED ACCESS AND DISTANCE TO HUNTING
COMPARTMENTS (often 2-3 miles), USE OF ATVs AND OTHER ORVs IS
STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. ATVs must be operated in accordance with
state law regulating the use of ATVs on public land. Caution should be
taken during rainy weather as this area is prone to flooding. High water
may result in cancellation of scheduled hunts on short notice. Call the Big
Lake BottomWMAheadquarters for further information (903/389-7080).

Here's a better map from the Annual Public Hunting Permit booklet. The information on the map is for hunts under the Annual Public Hunting permit and not the Standby Permits for the drawing hunt.
