Tennessee’s 2009 free hunting day set for August 22nd

August 21, 2009 |

All Tennesseans are reminded that Saturday, Aug. 22 is Free Hunting Day in Tennessee when state residents may hunt without a license. The annual event coincides with the opening day of squirrel season.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency provides the free day in hopes of increasing interest in hunting. Squirrel hunting is one of Tennessee’s oldest and favorite traditions. The day serves as an excellent opportunity for persons to experience the enjoyment of the sport. Regular hunters are encouraged to introduce friends and family members (young and old) to the outdoors sport. It is also an excellent opportunity for those folks who have not tried hunting in a while to get back into the woods.

On Free Hunting Day, state resident hunters are exempt from hunting licenses and WMA permits requirements. «Read the rest of this article»

August 19, 2009 |

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is seeking fields to lease for the upcoming 2009 dove season. The first phase of dove season opens at noon on Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Landowners who have interest in leasing their fields should contact the TWRA regional office in their area so that a TWRA official can check their property for a potential field lease. TWRA personnel annually search the countryside to seek out fields that have large numbers of doves for public hunting.

Four generations of sportsmen enjoyed the opening day of the 2008 dove hunting season in Washington County, Tennessee while hunting on the Jerry Smith farm. This farm was leased by TWRA to provide dove hunting opportunities for the public. Pictured from left to right are Clyde Campbell, Nathan Winters, Zach Winters (age 7), and David Campbell.
