• Residents born before March 1, 1926 (with
proof of age and residency).
• Military personnel on leave carrying leave
papers.
• Landowners, their spouses and children
who hunt on farmland which is owned
by said landowners. The aforementioned
must be residents of Tennessee but need
not reside on the land. This license exemption
does not apply if the farmland is
owned jointly or in common by unrelated
persons.
• Resident grandchildren (under the age of
16) and resident great-grandchildren (under
the age of 16) who hunt on farmland
which is owned by their resident grandparents
or great-grandparents. (See below,
Farmland Owner License Exemption.)
• Tenants, their spouses and their dependent
children, who hunt on farmland
which is owned by an individual or a family.
The aforementioned must be residents
of Tennessee and must actually reside
on the land and have permission of the
landowner to hunt. A tenant is a person
who, for money, free rent, or other consideration,
cares for farmland. The tenancy
must be agricultural in nature.
• First cousins who own farmland jointly or
in common may fish and hunt small game
on the farmland. Their children may fish
and hunt small game as well.
• Resident and nonresident youths under

education certificate to hunt. However,
youths 6-16 hunting big game on a WMA
must have a valid Type 094 or Type 095
permit or quota permit, as applicable.

exeMPTIon
Persons hunting without a license under
a resident farmland owner exemption must
complete and sign a statement attesting
where the property is located and how this
land qualifies for a landowner exemption.
Persons may complete the form in advance
and carry it with them while hunting or they
may complete the form when requested in
the field by a TWRA official or when checking
game. A form is provided on page 73 of
this guide. Additional forms are available at
TWRA offices and TWRA’s web site (www.
tnwildlife.org). Landowners and their children
hunting on their parent’s land under
this exemption are also exempt from Hunter
Safety Certification requirements.

This safety message is brought to you by:
Summit Tree Stands
The TWRA urges all deer hunters hunting from tree stands
to use a fall-restraint system. Most deer hunting accidents
involve hunters falling from a tree stand. Proper use of a
fall-restraint system could prevent or lessen the severity
of these accidents.
