New for Tennessee Deer Season 2018-19.
During the Tennessee modern firearms deer season, pneumatic hunting device (Pre Charged pneumatic AirGuns), previously allowed only for small game hunting, is approved for use during modern gun hunts by the TWRC.
"The stipulation here is that the pellet must be at least .35 caliber in order to hunt big game or furbearers," noted Taylor. "And once again, it can only be used during modern gun hunts."
Air guns with pellets .35 caliber and larger will be legal for deer, elk, bear, or furbearers such as bobcats, foxes or coyotes when they are in season.
In order to hunt furbearers, sportsmen using pellets that are .35 caliber or larger during deer, elk, or bear seasons must be a legal big game hunter in possession of a big game license.
