Tennessee’s 2022 spring turkey hunting season is set to open in most areas of the state on Saturday, April 2. Hunters should consult the 2021-22 Tennessee Hunting & Trapping Guide for all the regulations and areas that have different start dates. The guide is online at www.tnwildlife.org and available at TWRA offices and license agents.
This will be the third spring turkey season to “Tag Before You Drag” where hunters tag their big game animal in the field prior to moving. Hunters are able to 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.
A hunting and fishing combination (Type 001), plus a supplemental big game license, or a sportsman license is required. To purchase a license online, go to https://www.gooutdoorstennessee.com/.
