Someone explain why TENNESSEE is so expensive to deer hunt….

[7mm08]

For OLD out of state farts.

Now that I live in SC but I'm coming to my son's home this week to hunt on his property. It will cost me at a minimum $200 for a 7 day license! So if I hunt just one day…$200! There is no discount as well for over 65. I got an invite to go to Jackson county in December to a friends place and that would cost me another $200! There is no annual non resident.

I mean did TWRA bottle feed these deer to charge this much?

No. They used those fake teets like Buttigieg used for his baby. It's very tender

Unless I'm missing something, Annual all game license is 305. It's listed on the website.

^^^^^^ This, been buying them for decades

Tn actually has cheap NON resident License the resident lic are extremely high

 

[megalomaniac]

$308 for annual nonresident. Screw the old folks, no discount for them

 

[megalomaniac]

Oh, another option....
if you were born in TN, you can get the 'TN Native' license. same cost as resident... so may be free if you are over 65.

I'm just gonna say it. You should've gotten a lifetime before you moved

Shoulda, coulda, woulda……

But at the time no one I knew owned land….

My teenage son and daughter will be forking out over $300 apiece to hunt a few days.

Maybe Trump will fix hunting inflation and make hunting affordable again.

Spikes beware!!!

I'm just curious as to where the value is? Other than regulations which is set likely on one day what do they do to warrant a such a fee especially for teenagers and older hunters? They don't raise, stock , or monitor the herds daily ….. Maybe I'm just cheap! Ha!

No kidding...

I've already forked out $616 for 2 kids this fall... kid #3 may be hunting next weekend, so that's close to a $1000. That's the most I've ever spent, since all are now are older than 15, and this could be the first year all 3 have hunted the same year since they were younger/ cheaper.

 

[PickettSFHunter]

My family just doesn't come hunt anymore. They certainly have the $ but can't stomach spending that on a hunting license.

 

[scn]

Tn is actually pretty cheap for a NR compared to a lot of states. Try going up to IL to hunt.

It is ridiculous that they don't have some discount for nonresident kids age 16-21. They cant even hunt land that we own during Thanksgiving and Christmas for a morning while visiting the grandparents.

These prices will make an outlaw out of honest people.

I'm in that same boat. I live and own hunting land in tennessee. All my kids and grandchildren live in Georgia. Non-resident licenses for them.

Well, actually, those grandkids could hunt Thanksgiving and Christmas mornings as long as you're willing to pay the big bucks!
