PEACH STATE FACT FOR THE WEEK

Wild Turkeys in Georgia

Conservation efforts, restocking and updated wildlife management techniques by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources over the past decades have restored the Peach State’s turkey flock. More that 300,000 wild turkeys now roam our fields and woodlands.

Money generated by excise taxes on hunting equipment and license sells have been an integral part that hunters have added to the effort. That money paid for food plot maintenance, population surveys and habitat improvements.

The turkey season opens this year on March 29 on private lands and April 5 on public property. If you are new to the sport, check out the Turkey Hunting 101 webpage offered by the DNR.
