Deer Hunters Need to Review Either-Sex Day Changes for 2013-2014 Season

IMPORTANT INFO: REVIEW EITHER SEX DAY CHANGES PRIOR TO DEER HUNTING

 

More than 300,000 hunters pursue the most popular game animal in Georgia, the white-tailed deer.  As a reminder to hunters, there was a regulation change in the number of available days to take deer of either sex depending on the type of equipment used and the area of your hunt, beginning Dec. 1. 

 

During the period of December 1-25, 2013, hunters should make special note of the following regulations: 

• Archery equipment may be used for either sex statewide.
• Firearms and primitive weapons may be used for deer of either sex in counties with antler restrictions (including Dooly, Hancock, Harris, Macon, Meriwether, Montgomery, Randolph, Talbot, and Troup Counties) and certain metro-Atlanta counties (including Forsyth north of Ga. Hwy. 20, Fulton south of GA Hwy 92, Gwinnett, and Rockdale). 
• Archery, shotguns and muzzleloading firearms may be used for deer of either sex in that portion of Forsyth County lying south of GA Hwy 20.
• Hunters using firearms or muzzleloaders in areas not detailed above may take bucks only.
