Quail Hunting
Georgia hunters are blessed to have a long deer season. There aren’t many states with four months on the calendar where one can chase bucks across the state’s widely varied landscape.

DNR Commissioner Lonice Barrett summed up the budget situation on August 19 when he told the DNR Board that meeting the latest ordered budget cuts had been like deciding “which one of your kids do you want to shoot?” With Georgiaʼs state-revenue outlook growing more dismal, Gov. Sonny Perdueʼs office issued orders to agencies in…
For the past 17 years Georgia has hosted the Celebrity Quail Hunt, Quail Unlimited’s (QU) signature event.

During the last five years, Georgia hunters and fishermen have enjoyed strong leadership for their interests in the state legislature, and the list of results is impressive.
