Make a Difference!
Turn $5 into $55 for fish and wildlife: Buy a one-day hunt/fish license. 100% of license fees support Georgia wildlife, but purchases also return much more in federal excise taxes paid by hunters and anglers. See Commissioner’s Message for information on Sport Fish Restoration funding!
