Planning a hunt in Tennessee

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s WMA directory is a property-based starting point. Choose the specific wildlife management area and read its current hunt information along with the map.

Keep the WMA name, any relevant section and the intended parking location in your notes. Compare property-specific hunt details with the current Tennessee guide before choosing a date. If an approach crosses another public property or private parcel, verify that part independently instead of extending the WMA’s access assumptions beyond its boundary.

Check the property and the route

Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.

Use with Free Hunting Map

Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.

View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
