Tennessee’s early wood duck season will open thirty minutes before
sunrise on Saturday, September 11. The early wood duck season is set
each year to coincide with the migration of blue-winged teal through the
state.
Blue-wing teal migrate south earlier than any other North American duck,
so the hunting season is usually set around the middle of September.
Since wood ducks breed and nest in the state, they are present in large
numbers and are included in the early season.
Tennessee’s early season will be September 11-15 Shooting hours are one
half hour before sunrise until sunset. Non-toxic shot is required and
all shotguns must be plugged to hold no more than three shells. The
limit is four ducks, but no more than two of the four may be wood ducks.

A Hunter Safety Class will be held in conjunction with the National Wild
Turkey Federation Jake’s Day on Saturday, September 18 at Holly Fork
Shooting Complex.
It will be a fun filled morning where youngsters can participate in
trap, skeet, bb-gun still targets and more. TWRA will be on hand to show
youngsters how the agency traps turkeys for stocking by shooting cannon
nets.
Food will be available too for all the kids. Hours will be 9 AM until 12
noon.
The hunter safety class is open for kids age 9 and above. As with all
class requirements, each youngster must bring their social security
number and a pencil.
For additional information on both the hunter safety class and Jakes’
Day contact Henry County Sheriff Monte Belew at 642-1672

LBL archery season is open Saturday, Sept 25, 2010 to January 17, 2011.

each quota hunt. The quota hunt days for the Tennessee portion are Oct
16-17, Nov 12-13, and Nov 27-28. The quota hunt days for the Kentucky
portion are Oct 23-24 and Nov 20-21.

already been harvested on LBL. Deer harvested on both the Kentucky and

Henry County Gun Club, located at 1995 Goldston Springs Road near
Puryear, invites area shooters to participate in their upcoming
Appleseed Rifle Clinic. It will be held September 4-6.
Appleseed offers the best precision rifle marksmanship instruction
available anywhere. And the cost is only a fraction of that for any
other weekend of any kind of firearms training, according to HCGC
spokesman Kimball Kelsey.
In addition, you will learn of the events of the first day of the
Revolutionary War and the sacrifices made by those patriots who
bequeathed the precious heritage of liberty to us.
Any
kind of rifle and any kind of sights will suffice. However, a semi-auto
with a removable magazine will be more user friendly for our purposes.
Most shooters at these events use 22-caliber because of the high price of
center fire ammunition. Approximately 500 rounds will be fired. A good
sling is recommended.
The
event is free for women, anyone under 21, active military, reserves, and
guardsmen, as well as elected officials. The fee for everyone else is $45
for one day, or $70 for two days if you pre-register.
For
more on upcoming events at the club check out their calendar posted at
www.henrycountygunclub.com.

Early season for resident Canada geese will be September 1-15. If you
