Have you seen the proposed changes to Tellico Lake WMA? Kind of interesting. No more doe days at Wear's Bend. Also, they are opening a new area called Tellico West Unit and doing 4 one-day draw hunts. I'm curious if anyone thinks those draw hunts would be worth applying for?
WMA Seasons (Redline)
Tellico Lake
Recommendation: Region III
Justification: Adding a Wear�s Bend Unit helps clarify and simplify seasons on the WMA.
Portions of Wear�s Bend Unit are in Loudon and Monroe counties. Loudon county has a non-quota antlerless hunt, but Monroe county does not. Closing the unit to this hunt helps simplify regulations while meeting herd management goals.
Establishing Tellico West Unit as a new unit. The Tellico reservoir development Agency Industrial Park requested deer hunts on this property to help control the deer herd there.
