Quota Hunts
Priority Points
A priority point is awarded if your application is not selected. Each person listed on a group application that is not selected is awarded a priority point.
Priority points may be used on an application to increase the likelihood of selection. Visit the quota hunt page at www.gohuntgeorgia.com to determine how many priority points are required to get selected for your favorite hunt.
To review your point totals; select“My Priorities” from the ACCOUNT tab when logged into your quota hunt account.

Q: What is a QUOTA hunt?
A: A QUOTA hunt is a hunt that allows a predetermined number of hunters to participate. A QUOTA is used for several reasons: to conserve the natural resources (wildlife and their habitats); to provide a high quality hunting experience; and to maintain a high level of safety.
Regulations in red are new this year.
