You

What you pay, and in several states what you are even offered.

Residency

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency prices residents and non-residents differently, and sells some tags to only one of them.

Licences

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

Nothing in your wallet yet

Tick what you hold and the calendar starts answering for you rather than for everybody. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency sells them at the link below.

Prices are what the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency printed for 2026-27, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.

Tennessee deer seasons, 2026-27

Tennessee’s 2026-27 deer seasons run August 28, 2026 to January 10, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer management unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
