Hunting and fishing license sales and
federal excise taxes comprise over
90 percent of the TWRA’s operating
funds. Thank you for buying a hunting and
fishing license. Without you, Tennessee
would not have the abundance of fish and
wildlife that we all enjoy.
Fishing licenses go on sale February 18 each
year and are valid through the last day of February
of the following year. You can purchase most
licenses from county clerks, sporting goods stores,
hardware stores, boat docks, the TWRA web site
(tnwildlife.org) and all TWRA regional offices.
