SOCIAL CIRCLE —An online deer-quota application must be received before midnight Sept. 1, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.

“Georgia’s well-managed properties offer some of the best deer hunts in the state,” said John Bowers, chief of the Game Management Section. “There will be thousands of applications to participate in one of these hunts, but you certainly won’t get a chance if you don’t apply. We have experienced an increase in deer quota hunt applications over the past several years, and we expect to continue that trend.”

Deer quota opportunities include hunts on wildlife management areas and state park lands, dog-deer hunting and adult/child hunting opportunities.

To apply, go to www.go huntgeorgia.com/hunting/quota.

Applicants should keep their email addresses current in order to receive quota updates, confirmations and any notices about quota hunts.

For more information on the upcoming deer season, hunters can review the 2015-16 Georgia Hunting Seasons and Regulations guide, available at www.georgiawildlife.com/hunting/regulations.
