And even if you could take a doe in Monroe county doesn't mean you could take one in CNF two totally different sets of regs and season dates..

Besides the bear refuges, what are you referring to?

The Cherokee National Forest covers approximately 650,000 acres in 10 east Tennessee counties. It is the largest tract of public land in the State. Under an agreement with the USDA Forest Service and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) the Forest is managed cooperatively as a Wildlife Management Area Region 3 and Region 4 (WMA). The Forest Service is responsible for managing wildlife habitat and the TWRA sets game and fish seasons and bag limits.

Most of the Cherokee NF is open for hunting within legal seasons. Six bear reserves are closed to bear hunting and to hunting wild boar with dogs. Areas such as recreation and administrative sites are closed to hunting. It is illegal to shoot any firearm across or from roads or vehicles. When using trails to access hunting areas please be careful and mindful that other Forest visitors may be in the area.

What Stik said, South Cherokee is different from statewide like most other wma's.

On the bear hunt make sure you are outside of the reserve AND any party dog hunt areas. Confusing, I know!

Also, you can kill hogs on either of those hunts.

You got a kitchen pass to drive across the state to hunt on NYE?

Are you packing in black-eyed peas and greens?
