Whether for sport or food, Georgia provides a wide array of wildlife that can be hunted or fished by the citizenry. Hunting season begins around the end of September and ends in May. Georgia has \u201cbig game\u201d which includes Whitetail Deer, Wild Hogs, Black Bears, and Wild Turkey. Georgia also has \u201csmall game\u201d animals which include Duck, Squirrel, Dove, Foxes and Coyotes. As outdoorsman, citizens in Georgia place the management, conservation, and preservation of wildlife habitats as a priority. Hunting licenses and special permits build revenue for the government to protect and enhance the natural environments for these animals. Fishing licenses also provide revenue for the governmental protection agencies. Georgia has many species of fish that are available for harvest in our waterways. Largemouth Bass, multiple species of Catfish, Bluegill, Black and White Crappie, and Gar are just a few species that Georgia has to offer. Living in Georgia allows for the citizens to hunt and fish for food and sport. An avid outdoorsman could provide themselves with meat and never have to visit a grocery store. Hunting is a lifestyle passed down from generation to generation in our communities. It encourages a deep respect for wildlife and nature. Also, hunting and fishing guarantees proper wildlife management of the given species. Hunting and fishing are also fun ways to spend time in the outdoors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-363\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/duck.png\" alt=\"duck\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/duck.png 275w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/duck-225x150.png 225w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/duck-150x100.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-364\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/deer-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"deer\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/deer-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/deer-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/deer-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/deer.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-365\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/turkey-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"turkey\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/turkey-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/turkey-768x929.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/turkey-644x779.jpg 644w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/turkey-124x150.jpg 124w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/stemitl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2016\/10\/turkey.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyler Gilbert Georgia Life Blog Outdoor Life As citizens in South Georgia, we have a strong connection with the outdoors.
