LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO TURKEY HUNT – TRY A WMA

With the opening day of the Spring Turkey Season fast approaching, hunters looking for a place to hunt in Tennessee are fortunate to have access to thousands of acres of Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) available to them. Spread across the state, there are a total of 79 WMAs open with the statewide turkey season, many are within a short distance of Tennessee hunters.

“For years, hunters have read in major outdoor publications that public hunting lands are over crowded and should be avoided if a hunter wanted a quality hunt, “stated Dave Gabbard, TWRA Region I Information Coordinator. “This is not the case for the majority of lands available for public hunting. Some of our lands receive very little hunting pressure throughout the season and can offer Tennessee hunters an excellent opportunity for a good day afield.”

A complete listing of Tennessee Wildlife Management Areas open with the statewide turkey season and those WMAs which have non-quota hunts scheduled, plus all the rules and regulations that apply to them can be found in the Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide available at all TWRA offices or wherever hunting licenses are sold. Hunters can also go on line at www.tnwildlife.org .
