Tennessee Hog & Wild Boar Hunting License Requirements

For non-residents, Tennessee offers two primary options for all-game hunting, which includes wild boar. You can purchase a 7-Day All Game license for $214 or an Annual All Game license for $305, depending on the length of your planned hunt.

Tennessee residents have several choices based on age. The standard Annual Sportsman license for ages 16-64 costs $165. There are also options for younger and older hunters, including the Junior Hunt, Fish & Trap license (Ages 13-15) for $9 and the Senior Sportsman license (ages 65 and over) for $49. If you plan to hunt with archery equipment, a Supplemental Big Game Archery license is also available for $33.

Many guided hunts in Tennessee take place on private ranches or hunting preserves, such as the highly-rated Spartan Hunting Preserve or Standing Rock Hunting Lodge. While these outfitters operate on private land, state licensing requirements often still apply, especially if native wild game is present or if the property is part of a Wildlife Management Area (WMA).

Regulations can change, and the requirements for a private preserve can sometimes differ from public land hunts. The absolute best way to ensure you have the correct license for your trip is to speak directly with your outfitter. They will have the most current and accurate information specific to their location and the type of hunt you've booked.
