where i hunt in Ga, you can buy a license over the counter and kill 12 deer..


But...can you find property to hunt?

An honest question and not a smart remark. Can someone get 12 deer without an expensive lease?

That really does suck. It is hard for me to imagine that I could not hunt deer this coming deer season, how depressing. I feel fortunate that each year I am guaranteed deer tags in my home state. Two bucks and four does and I can buy more doe tags.

I'm not bitter or anything, it's an awesome privilege to be outdoors in the fall, and I hope to do plenty of that. Just going to miss that anticipation.....

Good luck to you all,

Any chance of getting a bow tag or muzzleloader tag? Here in Nebraska you can use a crossbow for archery season, and both archery and muzzleloader are unlimited/over the counter licenses.

No, muzzleloader buck tags are actually the hardest draw in the entire state.

Resident Archery is still over-the-counter for the time being.


No one in my family got drawn either, so looking elsewhere now.

I don't know about GA. Its no problem for me to kill six Deer in NC.... hunting public land. I did it every year until a couple of years ago. just hunt KY now.

Purchase an Anterless Tag for Nebraska. That is what I usually end up doing. Only shot 2 bucks during my deer hunting time and much prefer the does for eating. Walk a bunch of public land and you will most likely come across deer or hit the National Forest on the Border of South Dakota? Good luck.

Wow. I feel your pain. I have taken at least 2 deer a year for 20 years and usually have the opportunity to take a minimum of 3 or more. I have one buck tag left and am saving it for a big dog.

Truth is, have never given much thought to the fact that deer tags aren't automatic everywhere. I really don't know what else I would do with myself in the fall if I couldn't deer hunt. It is pretty much a way of life for myself and about a half dozen close friends.

I guess I would occupy my time with some different form of hunting or maybe take a trip, as some have suggested......
