Free sportsman licenses for Tennessee Guard members
Beginning July 1, 2026, Tennessee National Guard members in good standing can get a sportsman license at no cost. It follows the resident annual sportsman license process and provides the same sportsman license benefits. Applicants must provide a valid U.S. military ID and eligibility information required by the executive director or their designee. The agency also needs Guard membership information supplied by the military department’s adjutant general. The state pays the license costs from its general fund, not the wildlife resources fund.
