Hunters, be sure to get online soon and get your quota application submitted for a Georgia deer hunt!  An online quota application must be received before midnight September 1, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.

“Some of the best deer hunts in the state are on Georgia’s well-managed public lands,” said John Bowers, chief of Game Management.  “To have a chance at one of these outstanding opportunities, you better get that application in before the deadline.”

Deer quota opportunities include hunts on wildlife management areas and state park lands, dog-deer hunting and adult/child hunting opportunities.

How to Apply

To apply, go to www.gohuntgeorgia.com/hunting/quota.  The quota hunt system allows applicants to sign up for a chance at a quota hunt using their existing license purchase account.  If you don’t have an existing account, you can create one. Those applying should be sure to keep their email and mailing address current in order to receive quota updates, confirmations and any notices about quota hunts.
