A Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators Permit, issued by the Special Permit Unit of the Georgia DNR Law Enforcement Division, is required to live trap, possess, transport, and/or release into a suitable habitat certain nuisance wildlife outside the legal trapping season. Visit the Special Permits Unit website for more Nuisance Permit-related information: gadnrle.org/special-permits.

Your Trapping License and Nuisance Permit will not appear on any durable card you purchase from GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com; however, your licenses will appear on the Go Outdoors Georgia App. To download the App to your smartphone:

• Go to Google Play Store or Apple App Store and search Go Outdoors Georgia.
• Install the App, open the App, and then go to “My Licenses”.
• Select “Add Another License”, submit your information to login.
• Your purchased licenses will appear on this screen. If you purchase other licenses after your initial App install, hit “Sync” to pull in any licenses, like Trapping, you purchase.

Good luck trapping this year and thank you for your patience as we continue to get more licenses online for your convenience.
