Dove fields in East TN ?

[Kelljp]

Anyone know if there are any public fields to hunt in East Tennessee? Looked on TWRA site and still not sure, maybe a private pay to hunt field ?

Same here. I checked their site this morning... nothing. Don't know where you are, but buffalo springs wma is open. Also, (don't know the name of Rd) the little road that is straight across from the campground/boat ramp entrance to Cherokee dam...there is usually a public field back there. Haven't seen signs this year so...don't know. I've got to go that way in a few hours...I'll check.

Looks like Renfro rd..

Thanks, TWRA doesn't have the fields they use to have. Shame, it's a great social event and a good way to introduce new hunters to the sport.

Hiwassee refuge has 100 acre field. Two more in McMinnville county and one in sweet water.

Google TWRA dove fields 2023 and you will get description and directions.

Seems most are south or west of Knoxville.
Welcome need a few in northeast TN.

Sadly, most in TWRA think Knoxville is as far east as the state goes.

Look up TWRA dove fields region 3 and same with 4. There are 2 or 3 in Monroe and also in McMinn. Wear your Kevlar and get after em!
