What is open?

[arrowslinger88]

Does anyone know what is open for bow now.This is my first year hunting in tn and the reg book is kinda confusing.The Gallatin Steam Plant wma says bowhunting only and you must wear orange during muzzelloader and gun seasons, so does that mean that it is still open for archery?Can anyone help? Theres a few more that say similar stuff.

You can use a bow durning any open season. The ornge is so a gun hunter doesn't blast you.

Bow season is open from begining to end except for the youth weekends

And that is with a big game bow license only, right?

Good question. You may want to post this in the TWRA Question forum.

You need your regular hunting and fishing license also.

You need your regular hunting and fishing license also.

Along with an archery permit and a type 094 if your going to hunt WMA land and/or harvest a doe in Unit L (middle Tennessee). You can also do what alot of us do and just get your Sportman License and you don't have anything to worry about it's all covered, plus it covers your draw hunts as well! If you do get your Sportman's License, or any other license, don't forget to add the Migratory Bird permit--it's free just has to be added.
