Deer hunting firearms season in Georgia opens Saturday

Georgia’s deer hunting firearms season opens Saturday, Oct. 19, and runs into January 2025, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division said.

“We are shaping up for a fantastic deer season,” Charlie Killmaster, state deer biologist for the Wildlife Resources Division, said in a release. “Hunter success has increased across much of the state and the number of mature bucks hunters are bringing home is at an all-time high.”
