Awesome, must have resource....

Ever drive around, see a field full of deer & think:

"I wonder who I have to talk to to get permission to hunt that?"

Well, here you go.
It's a little awkward to navigate & you really have to be sure of the property you're looking for, but it lists the landowner of ever parcel of private property in the State.
Anything that doesn't have a name (as best as I can tell) is TWRA, TVA or WMA.

I know for Rutherford County I use the Rutherford County GIS search. It's a map that's similiar to this. Shows who owns the land and size along with property lines. I need to mail some letters and see if I can get onto some property.

Just keep zooming until you find the property, click on it & a box pops up, click on the thingy in the box & all the owners details show up for you!

Not every county is on the state map, including Davidson, Sumner, Williamson, Rutherford, Hamilton, and Roane. Most counties have a GIS system. You can usually find it by googling "Tennessee GIS xxxx" where xxxx is the county name for the counties not on the state map.

Sorry, I was typing at the same time!
Yeah, this is a national GIS database, separated state by state.

I have spent countless hours on this site since you posted the link.  I'll share this one that I use to locate WMA land.

10-Ring, I'm not being critical, looks like a good source of info, but I'd suggest some caution when using the TWRA maps.  TWRA's overlay info may have something to do with how they define "Huntable Lands" instead of their actual property limits.  Or it could just be sloppy work on the overlay.   

 

I'm fairly familiar with the Cheatham County area and I see a lot of private property under TWRA's green shading.  All the "square corners" and North, South, East, West "edges" are pretty good clues; property here was never surveyed by sections.  Most property lines either follow a natural detail like a stream, etc. or, if they are straight, they're at some random alignment .  It made sense to someone at the time but it's hard to understand today. 

 

Also, I noticed the base photo changes as you zoom to different levels.  They were taken at different times with, probably, several years in between, so things may have changed from one photo to another.  Most likely more houses and development on the newer one.

It certainly takes a little common sense to use them.  Basically it is Corps of Engineers land where I hunt.  The Corp has 5 feet above the normal pool of the lake, naturally most of the huntable land is flat and low lying.  All of it that I have explored which is a pretty good bit but still not a significant portion is marked very well with a boundary marker at least every 100 yards, sometimes closer.

This one might help also.
