Longer Deer Hunting Season In Tennessee Approved

A few days ago, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission approved the season which was proposed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, which means that the season will debut on the Saturday Thanksgiving (November 19^th) until January 1^st. Hunters will also be able to hunt deer from January 7^th until the 8^th during the youth hunt. The previous deer gun hunting season was divided into two parts: November 6^th - December 5^th and December 18^th - January 9^th, while the youth hunt was conducted between January 15^th and January 16^th.

In addition, both the quail and turkey seasons have been modified. The quail hunting season has been shortened by a month, which means that it will start on November 5^th, up until January 31^st. As far as the turkey season is concerned, it has been extended from 12 to 14 days. The season will start on October 15^th and will end on the 28^th of the same month.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission (TWRC) turned down a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) proposal that wanted to keep the modifications made to the hunting seasons for the next two years. This means that for 2012, TWRC will have to re-evaluate the seasons.
