From Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources, here are the hunting dates for the 2012-13 season. If you live outside of Georgia and venture outside of the city, you might want to check your own regulations.

I’m a little late, or rather, deer hunting started a week earlier than in the last few years. Here is a small selection that’s relevant to Oglethorpe County:

Archery: Sep 8 - Oct 12.
Primitive: Oct 13-19.
Firearms: Oct 20-Jan 1.

Of course, if you live elsewhere you’ll need to take a look at the regs. There are counties that have special extended archery that we here don’t have, and northern and southern Georgia have different dates for hunting. And of course there are many other species to kill, each with its own dates.

Dust off those fluorescent orange vests!
