In order to remove the incentive to relocate wild hogs, they are now considered a destructive species to be controlled by methods other than sport hunting. Youths age 6-16 must be accompanied by an adult, 21 years of age or older, who must remain in a position to take immediate control of the hunting device, who is not required to have a license (if not hunting) but must wear 500 square inches of fluorescent orange. A waterfowl permit holder may bring up to 2 guests (no more than 3 individuals/blind). Ideally, statewide from the mountains to the coast, all feral swine would disappear, said Evin Stanford, a wild boar expert with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. Quota Permits must be obtained by application to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and are allocated based upon a computer random drawing. No non-hunters. Given the vast amount of acreage our permit entails The Hiwassee gets stocked every two weeks throughout the year for an average annual total of 85,000 Hunters should also check WMA road closures before heading out to hunt, fish or camp on specific WMAs by calling 833-345-0398. Otherwise, try wildlife management areas such as Matador WMA in Cottle County and Caddo Lakes WMA in Marion and Harrison counties. A designated waterfowl hunt location is a marked location (via physical stake or Global Positioning System [GPS] coordinates) established by the TWRA upon which a permanent blind may be constructed, depending on Tier designation as determined by TWRA, at Barkley Unit I, Big Sandy (including Gin Creek Unit), Camden Units I and II, Cheatham Lake, Gooch Unit A, Haynes Bottom, Old Hickory Units I and II, Tigrett, AEDC (Woods Reservoir), West Sandy, and Reelfoot. The Forest Service is emphasizing equal access to hunting. Registration of permanent blinds at West Sandy will be in-person at Henry County Fairgrounds on the first Saturday in August. Videos,
