2017-2018 Georgia Deer Season Results by County

The sun has set on the last day of Georgia’s 2017-2018 firearms deer season and according to game check results, hunters had very similar success to the 2016-2017 season. So far, Georgia deer hunters have checked in 183,327 deer — just 481 more than the previous season. Interestingly, 52 percent of the harvest were bucks and 48 percent were does. That’s almost an exact flip-flop of previous season when 49 percent of the harvest were bucks and 51 percent were does. Also notable was that archery hunters harvested 1,587 less deer in 2017-2018, but firearm harvest increased by 2,044 deer. Muzzleloader hunters stayed consistent taking just 24 more deer this past season.

Below is a county-by-county breakdown of Georgia’s 2017-2018 deer harvest to-date. Keep in mind that these are deer that were checked in using the game check system. Obviously there is an unknown percentage that go unreported. Also keep in mind that there are still a few counties open for the extended archery season, so these numbers will change a little by the end of the month.

We’d love to hear how you did this season. Was this deer season better than the last? Join the discussion over in our Georgia Deer Hunting Facebook group.
