The much-anticipated opening day of squirrel season is set for this Saturday, which also marks the annual Free Hunting Day in Tennessee. On this special occasion, residents of the state can participate in hunting activities without the need for a license. This initiative, organized each year by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, aims to spark greater enthusiasm for hunting among the public.
Squirrel hunting holds a cherished place in Tennessee’s rich outdoor traditions, making it a favored pastime for many. This day not only allows seasoned hunters to engage in their sport but also provides a perfect chance for newcomers to discover the joys of hunting. On Saturday, those who reside in Tennessee will be exempt from the usual requirements for hunting licenses and Wildlife Management Area (WMA) permits.
Moreover, numerous WMAs will be accessible to hunters looking for public land to explore on this day. It is advisable for hunters to review the specific details regarding each WMA in the 2024-25 Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide to ensure a successful outing.
