Tennessee residents can look forward to enjoying a license-free hunting experience on Saturday, August 22, which coincides with the official opening day of squirrel season.

Organized by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, this annual event aims to introduce newcomers to outdoor sports and welcome back individuals who have previously enjoyed hunting. While state resident hunting licenses are waived for the day, standard hunter education requirements and safety regulations remain fully in effect.

To review safety courses, bag limits, and regional regulations, participants are encouraged to visit the official Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency portal.
