Social Circle, GA -(Ammoland.com)- Hunters are eager for opening day of the statewide turkey hunting season in Georgia. The highly anticipated day is Saturday, Mar. 26 and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division expects that the 2016 season should be a fair one.

“Perspective is important because Georgia is still in the top six states in terms of eastern wild turkey harvest and population, even while we have had some declines in reproduction and the overall turkey population,” says Kevin Lowrey, Wildlife Resources Division wild turkey project coordinator. “Hunters heading to the woods need to remember that there is a new requirement this year to have a harvest record and that they will need to report their harvest through Georgia Game Check.”

With a generous bag limit of three gobblers per season, hunters have from Mar. 26 through May 15 – one of the most liberal turkey seasons in the nation – to harvest their bird(s). With many pursuing wild turkeys on private land, hunters are reminded to always obtain landowner permission before hunting.
