"10 antlerless deer and 2 antlered deer. One of the two antlered deer must have a minimum of 4 points, 1 inch or longer, on either antler or a minimum 15-inch outside antler spread to be legal." Ten antlerless deer is among the most generous limits in the country and it is what the green zone's long either-sex season is for. Two counties tighten the antler rule further: in Dooly and Macon an antlered buck needs a 15-inch outside spread, and in Hancock, Harris, Meriwether, Montgomery, Randolph, Talbot and Troup it needs four points on a side or a 15-inch spread. Regulations, printed pp. 11 and 13.

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

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.
