PLAN THE WHOLE SEASON
Full season dates
Choose a state to browse complete opening and closing dates for all its listed species, including split seasons. Michigan now includes deer, turkey, waterfowl and small game. Each guide uses official sources only, with a last-checked date on every page.
HOW WE BUILD THESE PAGES
Official sources. No guessing.
Straight from the state
We read the state wildlife agency's season summary and current hunting guide, and link the exact source for each season.
This season only
We never carry last year's dates forward. If a date isn't published or we can't confirm it, we say Check TWRA (or that state's agency).
You still check
Rules change, and WMAs and quota hunts have their own. Always confirm with the official regulations before you hunt.
GET READY FOR THE WOODS
Plan the hunt, not just the date
WHERE THESE DATES COME FROM
Sources
Every date and limit on this page comes from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. We do not carry over last season's dates. If we could not confirm something, we say Check TWRA.
We check official sources weekly and review changes before updating this guide. Confirm the latest TWRA rules before each hunt.
