Welcome to 2023-24 Georgia Hunting

Bear Harvest Reporting

All harvested bears must be reported via Georgia Game Check - northern, central, and southern zones, public and private land. Hunters have 24 hours to report their harvest online, by phone, or via the GoOutdoorsGA smartphone app. All bears must be presented for collection of biological samples in accordance with the zone-specific requirements on Bear, Turkey, Feral Hog, Alligator & Small Game.

Central Bear Zone

If fewer than 6 female bears are harvested on December 16, 2023, a 2nd hunt day will be opened. To see if the 2nd day will be offered and when, please visit www.georgiawildlife.com after December 18.
