Tennessee's spring squirrel season will open 30 minutes before sunrise on Saturday, May 10, 2008. This year, the season will run through June 8, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
As in fall hunting seasons, fox, red, and gray squirrels are allowed to be harvested, with a daily bag limit of 10 squirrels.
Several wildlife management areas are also open for spring squirrel hunting during this time. Some WMA's in East Tennessee with a spring squirrel season are: Buffalo Springs, Chuck Swan State Forest, Cove Creek, Kyles Ford, Nolichucky, Royal Blue, Sundquist, and Tellico Lake.
Hunters need to refer to the 2007/2008Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide for specific regulations and license requirements. Regulations are also available on the TWRA web page at www.tnwildlife.org.
