The Georgia Department of Natural Resources released a bag limit change for the 2022 turkey season. “Only one gobbler may be taken per hunter per day, and a season total of two gobblers. On Wildlife Management Areas and National Forest land, the bag limit is one gobbler per area.”
The release also includes that “all turkey hunters, including those under 16 years of age, landowners, honorary, lifetime and sportsman license holders, must obtain a free harvest record each season. Before moving a harvested turkey, hunters are required to immediately enter the date and county on the harvest record, and within 24 hours, must complete the reporting process through Georgia Game Check. Resident youth hunters under age 16 will not need a license. Hunters age 16 years or older (including those accompanying youth or others) will need a hunting license and a big game license unless hunting on their own private land.”
You can get your license at www.gooutdoorsgeorgia.com, at a retail license vendor or by phone at 1-800-366-2661.
