Waterfowl Hunters: Season Opens Sat. Nov. 17
With waterfowl hunting season opening Sat., Nov. 17, duck and goose hunters across Georgia should find similar wetland conditions to last year.
“Last year many of the managed wetlands that provide habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl on state-operated Wildlife Management Areas were in good condition,” said WRD state waterfowl biologist Greg Balkcom. “And, again this year, conditions are good because of late spring and early summer rains, as well as rainfall associated with Hurricane Michael. WRD managed impoundments are flooded or near full, with good food production.”
