Big win for Tennessee hunters.

The Fish and Wildlife Commission approved two important changes this week by allowing single shot rifles using straight wall cartridges .35 caliber or larger during the second week of deer muzzleloader season on private lands only and by moving turkey season to begin on the weekend before April 10. Next year, that will mean an opening day of April 3.

Both changes are practical wins for hunters across our state and reflect the kind of thoughtful updates many sportsmen have been asking for. Allowing straight wall cartridges gives hunters more flexibility and another option compared to traditional muzzleloaders, while the earlier turkey opener better aligns the season in a way many hunters will welcome.

It is a strong step forward for Tennessee hunters and something worth celebrating.

DID YOU KNOW? Crappie can see color exceptionally well because their eyes contain a high concentration of cone cells, allowing them to distinguish colors and contrast far better than most freshwater fish. They’re especially sensitive to bright wavelengths like chartreuse, pink, and orange, colors that remain visible as light changes with depth, stain, or time of day. Since crappie are low-light feeders at dawn and dusk, their vision is tuned to pick up color contrast even when visibility is poor. That means as sunlight, cloud cover, or water depth shifts, what a crappie sees changes, so a bait that works one hour can completely disappear the next.

Bottom line: when crappie shut down, it’s often not the spot or the depth, it’s the color. 🎣
