History on Deer Hunting in Tennessee

Tennessee Deer Hunting
A little history on Deer Hunting in Tennessee

In 1949, 113 deer were harvested in Tennessee during the first ever recorded year. In 1985, the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency had spent the prior 12 years stocking deer and the harvest that year exceed 60,000. Hunters in 2003 harvest over 158,000 deer.

The 2008 season saw just under 164,000 deer harvested with each county averaging just over 1700 deer. Our local area was just under 2000 harvested. Since that 1985 season, no deer have been stocked. As you can see, our Wildlife people have done their homework in providing great hunting adventures over the last decades.
