Georgia

Georgia's rich wetlands, hardwood forests, and expansive coastal marshes create prime habitats for species like quail, turkey, wood ducks, and mallards. The regions around Albany, Cordele, and the Okefenokee Swamp are particularly famous for their quail hunting, while the coastal areas near Savannah and Brunswick provide excellent opportunities for waterfowl hunting, especially during the winter months when migratory ducks and geese flood the region. Additionally, Georgia boasts a long tradition of hunting with hounds, particularly for species like wild boar and raccoon, with areas such as the Chattahoochee National Forest offering great terrain for hound hunts.

Georgia's mix of public hunting lands, including the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge and the River Creek WMA, along with private hunting clubs, provides hunters ample opportunities to explore and pursue a variety of species. The Appalachian foothills near Dahlonega or the sprawling timberlands around Waycross, offers some of the best hound hunting in the state. Whether it's quail hunting with pointing dogs or a day spent chasing ducks along the Altamaha River with a retriever, Georgia offers a blend of experiences that will satisfy hunters who love to share the field or blind with sporting dogs.
