The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is issuing a reminder to all hunters that the archery-only deer season, along with the fall turkey season, is set to commence statewide on Saturday, September 27. The deer archery season will take place from September 27 to October 24, and will resume again from October 27 to November 7. Similarly, the archery season for turkey will align with these dates, running from September 27 to October 24 and again from October 27 to November 7. Additionally, there will be a shotgun/archery season for turkey that spans from October 11 to October 24.
It is important to note that turkey hunting will not be permitted in several counties, including Crockett, Dyer, Giles, Haywood, Lake, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Lincoln, Shelby, Tipton, and Wayne. For those interested in deer hunting, there are over 100 wildlife management areas and refuges available at various times throughout the season.
Hunters are reminded that they must possess the appropriate licenses and permits to participate. Furthermore, individuals hunting on private land are required to secure permission from the landowner. For comprehensive details regarding the season and its regulations, hunters can refer to the 2025–26 Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide. This guide is accessible at various license outlets, can be found online at tnwildlife.org, or can be conveniently accessed through the TWRA On the Go app.
