The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission will meet Wednesday and Thursday to finalize the dates for the upcoming state waterfowl hunting seasons.
Here’s a look at what’s been proposed:

Tennessee will again have a 60-day duck season. In the statewide zone, the season will be open Nov. 24-25 and Dec. 1-Jan. 27, 2008. In the Reelfoot Duck Zone, the dates will be Nov. 10-11 and Dec. 1-Jan. 27, 2008.
The youth waterfowl season will also be similar to last year. For youth ages 6-15, the statewide zone is Feb. 2-3 while the Reelfoot Zone is Feb. 9-10.
For the past several years, the Commission has reduced the hen mallard bag limit to one. However, in light of increased mallard population for three straight breeding seasons, TWRA believes a one-hen restriction is not necessary from a biological perspective.
TWRA is recommending that hunters be able to take two mallard hens as part of their six-bird limit.
