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.

The other 39 states allow the legal ownership of suppressors and 30 states allow their use for hunting game animals.

BOWHUNTING TIPS: THREE-PART ANCHOR POSITION

Levi Morgan | BowLife.com If you know archery, you know how important a consistent anchor is. Most people just think of anchor as being only one thing. But the truth is, having a repeatable anchor position involves three major components. Everyone’s anchor involves – or at least should involve – the following: release-to-hand contact hand-to-face contact string-to-face contact If you have these three components down, you will have a solid anchor position. Release-to-hand contact is very crucial in all parts of your shot, but none more so than your anchor. If you are shooting a handheld release, that importance doubles. You can literally change your draw length and entire form just by positioning the release differently in your hand from one shot to the next. It is critically important to find a comfortable spot in your hand where the release just seems to fit. It’s not a bad idea to even mark that on your hand with a marker or tape while...
