The 2022-23 deer hunting season is nearing its conclusion in Tennessee. The gun season for deer concludes on January 8 while the second Young Sportsman Hunt for 2022-23 is Jan. 14-15.

For the Young Sportsman Hunt, youth, 6-16 years of age are allowed to participate. The young sportsmen must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult at least 21 years of age who must remain in a position to take control of the hunting device.

The accompanying adult must comply with fluorescent orange regulations, as specified for legal hunters. Multiple youth may be accompanied by a single qualifying adult.

The first youth hunt of the season was held Oct. 29-30. The gun season for deer for everyone across the state began Nov. 19. Archery and muzzleloader equipment are also legal during gun season.

“The limit on antlerless deer is one at some time during the season. If you have already taken an antlerless deer during the gun season you can’t take any more this week and then two bucks for the entire year,” said TWRA Officer Tony Cross.
