Haven’t nabbed that big buck yet this year?  There’s still plenty of time to deer hunt in the Peach State which has one of the longest deer seasons in the South. 

Regular firearms deer season started back in October and will continue for most of the state until January 14, 2024.  There are a few counties in southwest Georgia that have an extended hunting season until January 15, 2024.

One of the great things about hunting deer in Georgia is if you want to travel, you can follow the “rut”, or mating season, which ranges from mid-October to the end of December.  In our part of the state, rut was the last part of October through the first couple of weeks of November.  The rut season is just now getting into full swing in southwest Georgia.

This year, Georgia hunters are allowed two antlered deer and 10 antlerless deer.
