Well, we know that we haven’t been updating DRD much lately and for that we apologize. It is the time of year to spend as many hours as possible in the field and that doesn’t leave a lot of time for updating the website. Over the next several days we will try to update our activities. Here are the highlights before you get the stories…
DRD traveled to the Badger State in October for grouse and woodcock hunting. Although the locals stated that the woodcock big flight wasn’t in yet, it was one of best years that we have experienced. Fantastic dog work made the experience even better. Grouse numbers were definitely down from prior years, but was still excellent.
Since returning, we have spent many days in the woods deer hunting. Our season has been very slow so far, but across the state feedback has been much better than previous years. Although we still believe that the state needs to adjust its plans for the future. Great strides were made this year with reduced doe days, coyote quota hunts, and state-wide open forum meetings; there is still more work to be done.
Please be sure to either attend one of the meetings that are being held currently across the state or electronically submit your thoughts to the state. Many of the comments we are hearing is that we wish Georgia would control their deer population much like Kentucky or Illinois. This can and should be achieved with a little effort from the outdoorsmen and women of Georgia reaching out to those that can make these changes.
Stay in the woods, good luck and be safe!!!
