Welcome to the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division Home Page
Welcome to the home page of the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division Web site. From cascading mountain streams to oak-shaded coastal hammocks, Georgia's incredible landscape provides a multitude of habitats for a variety of wildlife species. As such, Georgia ranks among the top states in wildlife diversity and offers an abundance of activities for the wildlife enthusiast.
Within our Web site you'll find information about hunting seasons, fishing locations, wildlife viewing opportunities, boating safety, educational programs and more. You can even learn how to get involved and support wildlife conservation efforts right here in Georgia.
From monitoring swallow-tailed kites along the coast to surveying rare fishes in highland rivers, the federal State Wildlife Grants Program has funded wildlife conservation across Georgia since 2000. DNR is celebrating the 10-year anniversary with events highlighting wildlife stories and successes the grants helped make possible.
One year in, a multistate project including Georgia has made excellent progress increasing the quality, quantity and connectivity of prime sandhill habitat.
The Board of Natural Resources recently approved the 2010-2011 waterfowl hunting regulations.
The window of opportunity is closing for those interested in applying for a quota deer hunt on select public land and at select State Parks. If you want a chance to hunt, you need to be sure to get your online quota application in before midnight September 1. A total of 35 quota deer hunts on public land and six State Park quota deer hunts are scheduled.
While most Georgians have headed back to work and school, a warm holiday weekend always brings people to the water to celebrate. This Labor Day weekend will be no exception and given that expected level of activity, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division stresses the importance of safety for all boat drivers and passengers.
The end of summer doesn’t have to mean the end of fun in the great outdoors. As Labor Day approaches, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) encourages families to get outdoors over the holiday weekend and continue enjoying outdoor activities into the fall.
Hunter education courses in Georgia are offered three ways: by classroom, CD-Rom or online.
Georgians curious about the differences between legitimate dove field preparation and illegal baiting should read “Dove Hunting and Agricultural Practices in Georgia,” available at www.gohuntgeorgia.com .
The Migratory Bird Hunting license (or HIP permit) requires all hunters pursuing doves, ducks, geese, rails and other migratory bird species to complete an annual harvest survey. The free license is available online, by phone or at retail license agents across the state, and requires hunters to report harvest rates.
