Deer hunting in Tennessee

Tennessee is classic whitetail country—hardwood ridges, river bottoms, and patchwork farmland where mature bucks live close to cover and move hard when conditions line up. For traveling hunters, it’s an easy place to love: strong deer numbers in many areas, comfortable camp-and-lodge options, and a hunt style that feels familiar if you grew up sitting treestands in the East—yet still delivers plenty of “new ground” excitement. International hunters may find one aspect unusual, though - whereas in many areas one pays a premium for a trophy over a certain size, a typical Tennessee outfitter will apply an extra fee if you take a buck under a certain score. This, along with careful application of such wildlife management tools as food plots, trail-camera intel, and carefully controlled pressure, ensures quality populations. You usually have the choice between a fully guided, semi-guided, or unguided (access-only) hunt, usually from treestands and ground blinds over funnels, field edges, creek crossings, and food sources. Most hunters fly into Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, or Chattanooga, rent a vehicle, and drive to camp or lodge.
