2018-2019 Guide To GA Hunting Season Dates

BY CHAD CAIN ON JULY 2, 2018

Once again, many Georgia counties will experience at least a few days of deer season when only bucks are legal to shoot during firearms season. This move several years ago was stemmed from unhappy hunters who said that deer populations had dropped.

This year’s deer season will close statewide on Jan. 13. The only exception is the suburban Atlanta archery-only counties that are open to bowhunting until Jan. 31.

The map shows the days when hunters can shoot antlerless deer with a firearm. Antlerless deer may be taken statewide with archery equipment from Sept. 8 to Jan. 13.

Also included are dates for turkey, bear, migratory birds and small-game.

The complete 2018-19 Georgia Hunting Season Dates and Bag Limits booklet will soon be available at license vendors and online. Be sure to consult the official regs before heading afield.

Hunters are responsible for knowing and abiding by seasons and limits or be subject to charges and fines.

JOHNNIE CANDLE ON WALLEYE ICE FISHING

Johnnie Candle from Devils Lake, North Dakota, is a tournament walleye fisherman and recently was inducted into the North Dakota Fishing Hall of Fame. I don’t do a whole lot of ice fishing during the winter months, however, I do some just to keep myself sharp on how to catch walleyes under a variety of fishing conditions. At the time of this interview in late January, I’m headed to ice fish for several hours. I’ve found that some of the most productive spots result from my paying attention to where I’m fishing for walleyes in the fall . During the fall, the walleyes are headed toward their wintering areas, traditionally moving to deep structures in the water to hold on in the winter months. At the low-light parts of the winter day – at first light and at last light – walleyes usually will move up and feed where you’ve caught them in the summertime in their traditional feeding areas, generally shallow rock structure, and weeds that haven’t died off in the winter....

HOW TO TRANSITION TO A NEW DOG FOOD

Whether you want your dogs to be in peak shape for hunting season with an option like Retriever Mossy Oak Performance Blend , or you’re trying out a medical diet to alleviate some canine health problems, there are many reasons you might want to make a dog food transition. So what should you do to make the switch as easy and painless as possible for both you and your dog? Follow these eight strategies to successfully transition your dog to a new diet.

The more significant the switch, the longer of a transition period you will need. Your dog is also more likely to react negatively to more drastic dog food transition, so i...
