EARLY DUCK SEASON IS SHORT AND SWEET
 

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.

Don’t forget to purchase your Federal Duck Stamp if you are age 16 and over.

Reelfoot is holding a lot of wood ducks and teal. Several guides are offering early duck hunts. Contact one of Reelfoot guides to book your hunt.
