Georgia deer seasons, 2026-27

Georgia’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 12, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the county your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the county off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
