Georgia Game Check: Reporting Harvest of Deer, Turkeys, Alligators, and Northern Zone Bears

Alligator hunters will receive their harvest record as part of their alligator permit at the time of purchase (alligator permits are free to drawn hunters who have all-inclusive licenses but they still have to “purchase” the permit online, by phone or at a license retailer).
