The Cherokee Nation completed another successful year of controlled hunts on the tribe’s 4,000-plus-acre Sequoyah Hunting preserve in Sequoyah County! The tribe hosted five controlled hunts in total with 10 hunters being selected by a random draw of qualifying applicants for each of the weekend hunts: Cherokee youth hunt, Cherokee speakers muzzleloader hunt, Cherokee elders muzzleloader hunt, Cherokee veterans hunt, and an open hunt for Cherokee citizens. | Cherokee Nation
