00:00Tennessee is famous for its vast hardwood forests, making it one of the absolute best states in the
00:05U.S. for squirrel hunting. But whether you're taking a young hunter on their first trip or
00:10chasing dinner yourself, here is what you need to know about the Tennessee squirrel hunting season.
00:15Don't forget to subscribe to the channel and turn on the notification bell so you don't miss
00:19any new updates. Tennessee offers two distinct seasons set by the Wildlife Resources Agency.
00:25First, the fall and winter season, the main event, opens in late August and runs all the way through
00:32March 15th. This extended window gives hunters plenty of time to pursue gray, fox, and red squirrels.
00:39Second, if you can't wait for autumn, Tennessee also features a dedicated spring season that runs
00:45from early May through mid-June. Now, let's talk bag limits and gear. Tennessee has a generous daily
00:51bag limit of 10 squirrels per day. Legal weapons include rimfire rifles like a .22, air rifles,
00:59shotguns, and traditional archery. For the best success, hunt near oak and hickory stands during
01:04early mornings or late afternoons when squirrels are actively feeding. Always secure your Tennessee
01:10hunting license, respect wildlife management area rules, and practice ethical hunting.
