I'm a non resident who ownes property in Houston Co. and looking to have my 11 year old son start deer and small game hunting with me. Have read the TN regulations and am confused. What does he need to get started?

He will need to be hunter safety certified.

He will not need a LICENSE until he is 13. However, if he wants to shoot antlerless deer on the Unit L Special Season hunts (everyday in Unit L) he will need a Type 94 PERMIT.

I am not TWRA, however, I thought I would share this because of my past experiences taking juveniles over the years. If I am not mistaken, due to the fact he will not have a big game license or license number, he will use his SSN to check a deer in. Is this still the case Steve?

Once he is 13 he will need a youth/junior license. That will cover everything except migratory birds, correct? I may be mistaken

Since he is a nonresident he is not eligible for the landowner exemption.

Incorrect.

At the age of 13 to hunt big and small game he will need a Junior All Game license of Type 085 or 086.

ALL ages of hunters, both resident and nonresident, need the type 94 permit to shoot antlerless deer during the Unit L G/M/A season.

SCN, does he have his own bag limits or does it count against mine? And if he has his own bag limits do I use his ss# as Andy S. stated to check in the deer?

Great information guys....Thanks!

He has his own bag limits. If you buy a Type 94 permit then he will have a TWRA ID number for the checking station.

What does a juvenile without a license use to check in big game if he or she does not purchase type 094? SSN? The reason I stress this is SO MANY young hunters with no hunting license have parents/guardians/mentors taking them hunting that have no clue how to identify their kid when they get to the check station with their deer/turkey. I have witnessed this repeatedly over the last five years. The checking agent at the counter is just as lost as the parents/guardians/mentors. Furthermore, I have not been able to find this explicit verbiage in the H&T Guide. I may have missed it, but I do not think it is clearly stated, at least not that I could find.

I would think one with landowner exemption would use his or her SSN to check in big game as well. Is this true?

Suggestion: if what I have outlined here is true, it would be nice to incorporate this SSN verbiage into next years H&T Guide in an effort to reduce this confusion among the public, especially young hunters who we are trying to recruit.
