The Outdoors Beyond Barriers (OBB) initiative emphasizes removing obstacles for people with mobility impairments to help them connect with nature, explore the outdoors, and take part in activities like hunting and fishing that may have previously been unavailable.

2025 Hunts: See "Outdoors Beyond Barriers Hunts" listing below. The application period will open July 1, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. and close September 10 at 11:59 p.m. If you have any questions regarding the 2025 hunts, please email Linda Eipper (Linda.Eipper@dnr.ga.gov).

Other Hunting Opportunities: Previously, adaptive hunters could take advantage of an early waterfowl hunting opportunity on private land or participate in one of the multiple dedicated mobility-impaired hunts (for different species) on a variety of public land Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). These opportunities will continue (see below listing).
