Hunting

The purpose of hunting regulations is to manage Georgia’s game resources according to sound principles of wildlife management and to meet public objectives for use of these renewable natural resources. Hunters and other interested persons are encouraged to provide input regarding proposed changes to hunting regulations.

• Proposed Changes: Amendments to Hunting Regulations are being considered. These amendments clarify issues related to hunting on WMAs – prohibit the use of drones to locate game and hogs, clarify rules related to quota hunts, fox and bobcat hunting, and night hunting restrictions for WMAs, and set hunting regulations for the newly acquired Upatoi Natural Area in Talbot County. You can view the proposed amendments HERE.
• Public Input: The public may submit comments on these proposed amendments by email (gm.comments@dnr.ga.gov), by telephone (706-557-3350) or by submitting written statements. Written statements should be mailed to the attention of Dr. Tina Johannsen at (Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division, Game Management Section, 2067 US Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle GA 30025). Deadline to provide comments is May 31, 2026 (close of business).
