Georgia Hunters Harvest Over 4,000 Deer Opening Weekend Despite Rainy Weather
Despite wet and nasty weather for much of the state, Georgia hunters had a solid opening weekend, harvesting an estimated 4,085 deer across the state. That’s a significant increase over the 2,479 deer checked in opening weekend of 2023. Of those 4,000-plus deer, 1,674 were bucks and 2,411 were does.
With better overall weather conditions, North Georgia counties led the harvest. In fact, the top five counties for total deer harvest opening weekend were:
- Hall – 152 deer
- Union – 115 deer
- Cherokee – 93 deer
- Walton – 82 deer
- Fulton – 80 deer
Not only did Georgia hunters kill their fair share of deer this weekend, but there were some great bucks killed, as well. We’ve shared some of the ones we came across below. If you know of one we missed, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at brian@georgiaafield.com.
