The first of two Tennessee young sportsman deer hunts will be held the weekend of October 26th through 27th.
Youth ages 6-16 may participate. Participating youth can use gun, muzzleloader, or archery equipment.
Young sportsmen must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult, 21 or older who must remain in position to take immediate control of the hunting device. Multiple youth may be accompanied by a single qualifying adult.
Youth ages 6-9 are not required to have a license or hunter’s education certification. Ages 10-12 must meet hunter education requirements. Youth 13-15 must have a junior hunting license and 16-year-olds must have the appropriate adult licenses.
The TWRA recommends that all hunters obtain a 2024-25 Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide.
