Reelfoot, Statewide Duck Hunting Seasons Start December 4

NASHVILLE --- The second segment for Tennessee’s hunting seasons for the Statewide Duck Zone and the Reelfoot Duck Zone will run Dec. 4 and continue through Jan. 30, 2011. Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise until official sunset each day.

 

The Canada Goose Statewide Zone third segment will run from Dec. 4-Jan. 30, 2011. The Northwest Canada Goose Zone will have its season from Dec. 4-Feb. 13, 2011.

 

Waterfowl hunters should review the daily bag and possession limits listed in the 2010-11 Tennessee Waterfowl Hunting Guide. Hunters also need to review the Federal Regulations Summary in the guide. The sunrise-sunset tables are also included in the guide. The guide is available where licenses are sold and online by clicking here.

 

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency once again reminds waterfowl hunters to inspect their boats to make sure all of their equipment is in good order. Two areas of primary concern are the boat’s running lights and the possession of personal flotation devices (PFDs).

 

All boats operating between sunset and sunrise are required to display the appropriate lights. Boats should have properly fitting PFDs for each occupant in the boat.
