Guide to Hunting in the Great Smoky Mountains



One of the most popular activities in eastern Tennessee is hunting. Why not? There are a number of interesting game animals to stalk in the Smoky Mountains, some native and some not, but all great for sport. Get a license from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency http://www.tn-hunt-fish.com/ that is good from February to March of the next year. Depending on what you are planning on hunting and for how long, you can choose from a number of different licenses appropriate for your trip. If you are planning on bringing children or seniors with you, look out for discounted licenses for their age groups. Keep in mind that the most specific license you can buy for your hunt will save you money, but if you are planning to hunt multiple species or are planning to both fish and hunt, get a more general license.

Some of the most popular game animals include the wild turkey, wild hogs, black bears, and deer.

One of the more tricky animals to capture is the eastern wild turkey, living in some small groups in eastern Tennessee
