Georgia Hunt and Learn programs provide an educational experience targeted to those with little to no hunting experience, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division. These programs provide a chance to learn about and to hunt such species as deer, squirrel, turkey, quail and dove.
One to three-day Hunt and Learn programs educate participants about hunting and conservation, along with an opportunity to hunt a specific game animal. Instruction includes hunting tactics, game identification and hunter safety from experts.
Youth (ages 12-17) and adult programs are available to accommodate a wide range of ages.
