Georgia deer hunters are already in the woods for archery season, but the opening of the state’s regular firearms deer season is now just a few weeks away.

Georgia’s archery deer season is underway, but hunters across Northwest Georgia are dealing with unusually hot and dry conditions during the opening days of the season.

As deer season winds down across Northwest Georgia, Georgia wildlife officials have arrested a Floyd County man accused of illegally hunting and possessing white-tailed deer after investigators say he exceeded the legal bag limit.

With the calendar turning toward mid-January, deer hunters across Northwest Georgia are in the final stretch of the 2025–26 season, and Georgia DNR is reminding sportsmen to double-check dates, follow county rules, and make safety a top priority in the woods.
