You will need a valid license from your state of residence.

In most states, the scorecard is your license, so no, you do not need a hunting license for a nite hunt event.

If the club does not get one from the DNR does that mean you would not be covered? Also, if the club is in Wv but you travel to hunt in Pa does the club need to get permits from Pa.

You do need a license from your state of residence. If you live in Tennessee and go to a hunt in Virginia the club will have a permit that will cover you without having to buy an out of state license. If you have no license whatsoever and you get checked you will receive a citation For hunting without a license.

It all depends on state law. Tennessee state law may be different from Virginia state law etc.

In Tn you better have a license. And if you are from out of state but club has a permit, you still have to have a license from your home state.

I didn't think you had to have a license in Tennessee but I saw two posts above saying you did.

You do NOT. This is taken directly from the TWRA web site. https://www.tn.gov/twra/article/sma...rapping-seasons

"Training of bird dogs and squirrel dogs is permitted year-round on private lands, during daylight hours only. Training of rabbit dogs is permitted year-round on private lands day and night. The chasing of foxes with hounds is permitted year-round, day and night. A hunting license is required while training dogs EXCEPT when a person is competing in recognized field trials. When training on a WMA, a small game permit is required. Refer to specific WMA listings for WMA dog training seasons."

There it is in black and white right on their front page, Nite Hunts are considered field trials. The score card is your license in Tennessee and out of state are not required to have one either.

That was the way it always was but with a couple of people above posting different I thought maybe something had changed but according to the TWRA site it has not.

Rip that statement covers people from out of state. I know of 2 cases thar were ticketed. They did not have a license from there home state. The permits cover people from out of state not having to buy a nonresident license to compete in a field trial. According to Twra even during training season a license is required for residents. I believe Pennsylvania is one of the states that a license is not required during training season. That is the exception not the norm. I received a ticket in Illinois for not having my Tennessee license on me during a hunt.
