New to TN

[lightsareout]

Moved down from Wisconsin early summer this year.  I haven't had a chance to prepare for deer season due to the move and selling one house and then purchasing another.  When reading the hunting regulations it states you can carry a bow during muzzle loader season, and a bow or muzzle loader during the gun season.  I see that the gun season is November 22 - Jan 4. So is this to say I could bow hunt from Sept 27-Jan 4 (with the exception of the Youth hunts)?  And it looks like the blaze orange requirements would be in place for the muzzle loader and fire arm season?

Yes that is correct.

 

Currently I'm hunting with a ML and my FIL is hunting with a Bow, but in just over a week we'll both be using .30-30's :)

 

And Welcome to TN, I moved here from MN about 15 years ago, haven't looked back.

We are loving the weather down here for sure (hard to consider 30 "cold"); I do miss the hunting in WI but could always make trips back just for that.

Yes, you are correct. If Bow hunting during the ML and/or GunSeason, you are required by law to follow the regulations and bag limits for the seasone I.E Bow, Muzzleloader and Gun. If bow hunting during gun or ML, blaze orange is required.

Welcome to TN and the forum.  The blaze orange requirement is for all of the deer seasons.  Not required for turkey though.

No, just in any season firearms are allowed. Bow season had no Orange requirement
