With my County opening 2 weeks later I will be going north to hunt Maury County on juvenile and normal opening weekend. I do like the kids will get two juvenile hunts! Who else will be hunting different counties during these 2 weeks?
No birds there....hence the delay for breeding.I'll likely hit up the public in the south zone just to hunt unmolested birds.
I was thinking the same thing.A certain WMA in Middle, TN will be an absolute zoo on opening day with the counties to the south not being open. I'll have to take drive through just to see all the vehicles.
It's gonna be thick in there for 2 weeks at least...the other popular wma up the road ain't gonna be any better lol. Luckily those birds have property lines everywhere to find a little safe groundA certain WMA in Middle, TN will be an absolute zoo on opening day with the counties to the south not being open. I'll have to take drive through just to see all the vehicles.
You're exactly right!! I think the juvenile hunt will be crazy too.A certain WMA in Middle, TN will be an absolute zoo on opening day with the counties to the south not being open. I'll have to take drive through just to see all the vehicles.
Contact NWR as the hunt is on Federal property and controlled by USFWS.So will they cancel the juvenile quota hunt on lower hatchie? Or move it. Can't find any info
Officer Cook said he didn't know anything about the delay of the season . But thank you for his number. He said we would be fine to hunt for the juvemilleContact NWR as the hunt is on Federal property and controlled by USFWS.

I'd bet you are correct, and we both know laws are typically only as good as their enforcement.I saw it time and again over the years in the agency where the biological side of things, or the Commission, would pass something they thought was a good idea only to find it was totally unenforceable. I highly suspect this management unit bs will be another in a long line of that. Hope I am wrong, but from the years in enforcement, it will be tough for the wildlife officers to get a handle on it.
