Deer season kicks into high gear at daylight this Saturday morning, Oct. 15, as kids, disabled hunters and those who use primitive muzzleloading rifles take to the woods. Until now, only archery season has been open for Georgia deer hunters. Georgia deer hunting from Saturday, Oct. 15 through Friday, Oct. 21 is called the Special Opportunity…
