I live in south cherokee and own bear dogs. I just dont understand how you can be complaining about not bein able to bow hunt bears when you have 100+ days to deer hunt in tn. We as bearhunters in south cherokee have a total of 22 days to hunt bears all year with the majority of the days during the week.

A deer is not a bear. How could you complain about only having 22 days to hunt bear with dogs when you can fish all year long? A still-hunter has -O- days to hunt bear in S. Cherokee, and that includes weekends.
A dog hunter has 0 days to chase deer with dogs in tn unlike other states so maybe there should be a deer season for that. I have no problem with bowhunter or hunters of any kind I think we are all in this together.

Beekeeper,
We got drawn for a hunt, just trying to confirm the dates. The ones I was given don't match up with the days I was given, so I am waiting on clarity.

My son and I are headed east to tryout the bear hunt the fall for the first time and can't wait, but have been concerned about shooting over someones dogs. This is good info to know in regards to that. But also I would like to see alot more time to be able to hunt hogs with dogs. Like the bear houndsmen we have ours but are unable to hunt them here and have to go to another state to run them. There is truly nothing like the sound of a hound on the track.
