Tennessee’s statewide spring turkey hunting season opens Saturday, April 12 and continues through Sunday, May 25.
Hunting hours are 30 minutes prior to legal sunrise until legal sunset.
Hunters are reminded about “Tag Before You Drag” where hunters tag their big game animal in the field prior to moving. Hunters can use the “TWRA on the Go” app to simply E-tag and report their harvest in the field in one easy step, with or without cell phone service, prior to moving.
If a hunter does not have a phone, attach one of the temporary transportation tags printed at the bottom of your license, and complete your check in online at GoOutdoorsTennessee.com or at one of several manned check stations by midnight on the same day of the harvest (or before leaving the state).
More information on the 2025 spring turkey season, regulations, and license requirements can be found in the 2024-25 Tennessee Fishing, Hunting & Trapping Guide. The guide is online at www.tnwildlife.org and available at TWRA offices and license agents.
