[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 5713068, member: 2019"] Lots of good information here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/twra/hunting/big-game/deer.html#unitbaglimits[/URL] Some points from above: - Roane and Anderson are in two different units. Roane is Unit A and Anderson is Unit B. - The above link shows the antlerless limit per season i.e. archery, muzzleloader, gun. You can kill the entire season's antlerless limit in one day in the unit that you are in. It is also my understanding that you can kill the limit for each unit's antlerless. For example, unit A has a limit of two antlerless with a gun, and unit B has a limit for one antlerless with a gun. So you could go to Roane County one morning and kill two antlerless with a gun and go to Anderson that afternoon or the next day and kill one antlerless. - For antlered bucks, you are limited to only two total across the two units that you hunt for the entire year. They can be taken with any combination of weapons that is legal for that season as long as they are not killed on the same day. The antlered limit is two per season but only one per hunting day. For example, you can kill two with a bow OR two during muzzleloader, OR two during gun, OR one during bow and one during gun, etc. You just can't exceed two per season and only one per day. - In terms of a quota bonus deer i.e. your Oak Ridge hunt, a bonus deer doesn't count toward your statewide limit. In your case, you can kill a buck on your Oak Ridge hunt but still have your two buck tags for the general statewide season. - In terms of priority points, this is for the quota draw system. Let's say that you want to hunt a highly sought after WMA and only put in for it............if you don't get drawn for any hunt, then you get a priority point. When the drawing happens the following year, the highest total of priority points gets first priority for these hunts. For some hunts like President's Island, it takes years of only putting in for that hunt before you have enough points to be built up to get drawn. - For the elk hunt, there is no priority point system. There are too few spots with thousands of entries each year that would basically make it that you would never get drawn unless you entered the first year. Hope that sheds some light and spend some time reading the TWRA page posted above, call your Regional TWRA office for information, and ask on here if still confused. Good luck this year. [/QUOTE]
