Firearms deer season opens
statewide on Saturday, October
27. In the Northern Zone, the deer
hunting season runs through Jan.
1.2002. In the Southern Zone, the
deer hunting season runs through
Jan. 6,2002. Last year, more than
284,000 firearms hunters har
vested 333,000 deer. Approxi
mately ninety-seven percent of
sportsmen and women use a mod
em firearm when pursuing deer,
according to the Georgia Depart
ment of Natural Resources. Wild
life Resources Division (WRD).
"This year, hunters in many
Georgia counties can look for
ward to a significant increase in
either sex days," says WRD As
sistant Chief of Game Manage
ment Dan Forster. "This increase
will hopefully allow hunters more
flexibility to harvest either sex
deer during the liberal deer hunt
ing season."
Georgia deer hunters have
many places to choose from when
deciding where to pursue game.
WRD manages more than 70
wildlife management areas
(WMA), encompassing more
than one million acres, that pro
vide a variety of hunting options,
including archery, primitive
weapons, modem firearms, adult-
child hunts, ladies-only hunts and
hunts for the physically disabled.
Sportsmen and women also can
hunt on open National Forest
land, in accordance with state
regulations and county restric
tions. If hunting on a WMA that
lies on National Forest land,
WMA regulations apply. Hunters
using private land must get writ
ten permission from the land-
owner prior to hunting.
All hunters should check the
2001-2002 Georgia Hunting Sea
sons and Regulations, available in
a guidebook or on the WRD
website at

continue to pursue game during
firearms deer season. However,
they are required to adhere to the
same hunting regulations as fire

that archery hunters can take deer

ter harvesting a deer. If hunting
on a WMA, hunters also must
possess a WMA license. Hunting

Is someone you know still in
need of a hunter education course
before the opening of firearms
deer season? The Georgia Depart
ment of Natural Resources, Wild
life Resources Division (WRD)
is making it easier than ever with

hours of the required time needed
