Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
I am in Central Tennessee every July, near Jackson. I want to teach my daughter about hunting. What is a good small game animal in that area that is a) legal to hung and b) something we are likely to get? I will be borrowing a relative's .22 rifle. Thanks for your help.

Spring squirrel season in '06 is May 13 - June 11. Regular squirrel season should begin the fourth Saturday in August. A hunter education course is required for all hunters (resident/non-resident) born after 01/01/69. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency website is:
I don't know of any seasons open during that time of the year that a .22 rifle would be appropriate to use, but someone else here might have better information. Generally, Jackson, TN is considered to be in West Tennessee, in case you look for information based on geographic region.
