Can I Hunt Multiple WMAs in a Single Day in Georgia?

WMA Rules and Regulations

In Georgia, WMAs are managed by the Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) of the Department of Natural Resources. If you plan to hunt multiple WMAs in a single day, you must follow the regulations and guidelines set by the WRD. This includes obtaining the necessary permits, licenses, and following specific rules for each area.

Permit and License Requirements

To hunt multiple WMAs in a single day, you will need to obtain a General Hunting License and a Big Game License, as well as a permit for each WMA you plan to hunt. The permit can be obtained online or at a local wildlife office. For example, the 17-day deer season in Georgia requires a separate permit for each WMA, and you can only hunt one WMA per day.

Timing and Mobility

When planning to hunt multiple WMAs in a single day, timing is crucial. You can hunt from sunrise to sunset, but you must exit each WMA by the designated closing time. Additionally, you must move quickly between WMAs to ensure you are not in violation of the regulations. This may require careful planning and coordination to ensure you are not in one WMA during the designated closing time of another.
