NEW FISHING/HUNTING LICENSES ON SALE…TIME TO RENEW

There’s a variety of ways to tell when seasons are changing. One of them is the renewal date for outdoorsmen across the Volunteer State to update licenses.

It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. Each year sportsmen must renew their fishing and hunting licenses by March 1 and the new ones are already on sale as of today (Friday).

The 2011-12 Tennessee licenses are available at Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency regional offices, license agents and on the TWRA website, www.tnwildlife.org.

The new licenses are valid through February, 2012. License sales provide the primary funding for the TWRA, which does not receive any funding from the state's general fund (i.e. state sales tax). The 2010-2011

licenses expire Monday, February 28, 2011.

“License dollars are the life-blood of our agency's efforts to manage all wildlife in our state,” said Ed Carter, TWRA Executive Director. “I would encourage fellow Tennesseans who appreciate the tremendous wildlife viewing opportunities we all enjoy to make a license purchase as a way of showing their support for all species and allowing us to leverage available federal funding.”

Resident licenses may be purchased by: persons who possess a valid Tennessee driver’s license; persons who have lived in Tennessee for 90 consecutive days with the genuine intent of making Tennessee their permanent home; military personnel on active duty in this state and their immediate families, who reside with them, regardless of resident status; students who are enrolled in a Tennessee school, college, or university for at least six months. A Social Security number is required to purchase a Tennessee hunting or fishing license.

Licenses may also be purchased online at TWRA’s website: www.tnwildlife.org and charged to a credit card. Licenses may also be ordered by telephone and charged to a credit card by calling 1-888-814-8972. All licenses purchased by credit card will be charged a processing and handling fee. Effective March 1, the new fees over the telephone are $7.50 for those licenses mailed and $6.25 for those not mailed. Through the internet, charges are $4.25 for those licenses mailed and $3 for self-prints.
