TWRA adds more land: The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has accepted a donation of 112 acres of land in Roan County.

The land will be known as the McGlouglin-Largen Wildlife Management Area and will be open to fishing, wildlife viewing and limited hunting.

The land is the latest acquisition by the TWRA, which in recent years has made a high priority of acquiring and preserving wildlife habitat to protect it from future development.

License reminder: With several hunting seasons already underway and the popular deer gun season coming next month, the TWRA reminds hunters that anyone born after Jan. 1, 1969, must complete a Hunter Education Course to be eligible for a Tennessee hunting license.

Many states also require a Hunter Education Course certificate in order to obtain a non-resident license.
