Georgia hunters will need new harvest record before season

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) reminds deer hunters who purchased a big game license between September 11, 2005, and January 9, 2006, that they need a new deer harvest record prior to the 2006-2007 deer hunting season. Landowners, honorary, and lifetime license holders also must obtain a deer harvest record and complete deer harvest information. Hunters may obtain new deer harvest records free of charge at www.gohunt georgia.com or from any license agent.

"A deer harvest record is good for only one hunting season because the bag limit is a seasonal limit," said Bill Fletcher, Chief of WRD Game Management. "Once hunters get the 2006-2007 harvest record, they should discard old harvest records."

Hunters must complete a deer harvest record before moving a deer from the site of a kill, except when participating in a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) or National Wildlife Refuge hunt that requires hunters to check out their harvested deer. Hunters may not possess or use multiple big game licenses or deer harvest records and should keep harvest records with hunting licenses.

"We appreciate each hunters' honesty, cooperation and support in keeping these records," said Fletcher.
