Details Still Being Worked Out for AEDC Fall Hunts

NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the U.S. Air Force are still working out the details for the 2011 fall deer and turkey hunts on AEDC Wildlife Management Area.

 

AEDC Units 1 and 2 are still used extensively for military training drill and the military use takes precedence over the hunting opportunities are the WMA.

 

“We are very fortunate to have opportunities to hunt these areas whenever the Air Force tells us when we can go, that’s when we’ll go,” said Wes Winton, TWRA Manager of AEDC WMA.

 

It appears that the Young Sportsman Hunt potentially scheduled for Oct. 1-2 will be open with only slight modifications. The Young Sportsman Hunt on Oct. 1-2 will be open on Unit 2. However, Unit 1 will be closed for training.

 

There is no official confirmation as of yet on the availability of the area for mid-October deer and turkey archery hunts as well as the first quota shotgun hunt potentially scheduled Oct. 29-30. As soon as the final confirmation is made, the information will be on the TWRA website at www.tnwildlife.org. It is hopeful the information will be available by the end of September.
