Tennessee’s 2018-19 gun hunting season for deer opens Saturday, Nov. 17. Deer gun season has the traditional opening date of the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving.

During gun season, sportsmen may also use muzzleloader or archery equipment. The season will continue through Jan. 6, 2019. The second Young Sportsman Hunt is Jan. 12-13.

Anyone born on or after January 1, 1969 is required to carry proof of satisfactory completion of a hunter education class or be in possession of the Apprentice Hunting License (along with other required licenses) while hunting any species in Tennessee.

This is the fourth year that the statewide bag limit for antlered deer is two. The number includes those taken during the archery only, muzzleloader, and gun seasons.

The start of muzzleloader season was on Nov. 3, and Tennessee deer hunters had a harvest of 7,683 on the opening weekend, compared to the previous year’s 4,823 when temperatures were above normal.

Since archery only season began in late September, there have been 29,705 deer harvested through the first weekend of muzzleloader season, which also includes the Young Sportsman Hunt in late October.

The statewide bag limit for antlered bucks is two. No more than one antlered deer may be taken per day. Hunters are allowed the following antlerless bag limits: Unit L-3 per day, Unit A-2 per season, Unit B-1 per season, and Unit C-1 per season (Nov. 17-Dec. 2 only), and Unit D-1-per season (Nov. 17-23 only).

The very 1st DeKalb Festival of Trees is set for December 3rd at the DeKalb Community Complex.

“ This event has taken on a life of its own,” said Director of Complex, Josh Issac. “ I had a goal of 21 trees but now we have over 40. The community has really rallied around this and I couldn’t be more excited,” he said.

The festival will kick off on Monday December 3rd from 5-9 pm. It’s a free event but all are asked to bring new toys to the event and place the toys under the trees they would like to win “ Tree of the Year”.

All toys will go to the DeKalb Foster Care system. “ What a great way to give back and show kids that Christmas is all about giving,” said Issac.  Also there will be FREE pictures with Santa and Mrs. Clause and refreshments. There are over 20 vendor booths expected at the event for Christmas shopping needs. With elves , reindeer , and over 40 trees this is truly an event that you can’t afford to miss. A special thanks to all busineses , churches, and organizations who have given time and money to decorate all the trees,” said Issac.
