With most of the high water in
West Tennessee receding and colder temperatures arriving, the Tennessee
Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has some newly acquired wetland areas
open for waterfowl hunting. The size of
these wetland areas range from 200 acres to over 1600 acres.
The name and location of these areas are:
Beason Creek FmHA - Located in Hardin County, North of Hwy. 64 and East of
Hwy. 69 off Coffee Landing Road (439 acres).
Beech River Wetland - Located along the Beech River on the Henderson
/Decatur County line, South of Hwy. 412 in Darden, TN (273 acres).
Fort Ridge Wetland - Located on the South Fork Forked Deer River in
Haywood County, East and West of Hwy. 54 (1512 acres).
Grays Creek Wetland - Located in Hardeman County, East of Hwy. 18 and
North of Hatchie River (280 acres).
Harts Mill Wetland - Located on Weakley / Carroll County line on South
Fork Obion River off Harts Mill Road (1602 acres).
Spring Creek Wetland - Located in Madison County off Hwy 152 on Middle
Fork Forked Deer River (348 acres).
Waterfowl hunting on these areas are from temporary blinds or hides only.
Temporary blinds, hinds and decoys must be removed at the end of shooting
hours each day.
The statewide duck season runs until January 31, 2002. For further
information on Tennessee's waterfowl seasons, pick up a 2001-2002
Tennessee Waterfowl Hunting Guide. Guides are available from outlets that
sell
hunting and fishing licenses and all TWRA regional offices.
