STAY SAFE And Bag Your Buck With These Hunting Reminders
Hunting is a Georgian tradition enjoyed by eager participants every autumn, but with changing laws, dangerous weapons, and an influx of people in our forests and river valleys, it’s important to brush up on hunting techniques and rules. Before beginning the big hunt, read up on any changes to quotas or limits imposed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) this season. For example, a hunter cannot bag more than 12 deer in one season, and no more than two of those deer can be antlered. Refreshing your knowledge also applies to understanding the appropriate way to hunt. Using deer as an example again, it’s illegal to kill a deer while they are in a lake, stream, or pond, and you can only use a dog to hunt for deer with a special permit. The DNR makes these restrictions based on the count of the herd, population fluctuations after hunting seasons, and areas with protected wildlife. Remember, the purpose of hunting and fishing is to control the wildlife population and ensure a balanced, thriving ecosystem. Adhering to set quotas and limits is you doing your part to better our Georgia wildlife.
has been added to the southern bear-hunting zone, and firearms deer-hunting is not allowed in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, and portions of Fulton and Glynn counties. In addition, keep in mind that the maximum age for hunting in wildlife management areas has decreased from 17 years old to 16.
Traditionally, youth hunting has been a great way to introduce the sport to aspiring hunters,
but it’s never too late to learn. The Georgia DNR has mentorship programs
available to hunters of all ages. Learn more about these classes

Still, he was proud of the service his father did in the Air Force as a pilot, and to this day, my great Uncle Tom is one of our family’s greatest heroes. He served in the Navy in both World Wars and came back with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his efforts. (Fun fact: John F. Kennedy was my great uncle’s bunkmate.) Sometimes I regret not joining the military and carrying on a great family tradition of service, but I understand my dad’s reservations. I believe that’s why I feel so compelled to help veterans living with hearing loss issues after service, thanks to faulty earplugs produced by 3M. I have seen the emotional, physical, and mental toll that military service requires, and if I can alleviate some of that pain, I will have paid back a small portion of the dedication they made to this country.
To all veterans, thank you for your service.
Thank you for trusting us to serve you!
