I wont be able to obtain a Hunter Education Certificate until after September 1. The deadline for 2013 "quota hunt" registration is September 1 according to what I've read. Does this mean if I want to hunt deer this year I am screwed? What do they mean by "quota hunt"? Does this mean only a certain number of GA hunters will be able to hunt deer this year or what?

Quota hunt???
- Thread starter Hammerhead636
- Start date
You must be referring to the idiotic libtard news story that said that??? The "quota " they meant is for wma quota hunts only. So no you will be fine getting your HEC on 9/1. Season starts 9/14. Happy hunting and good luck !!!
We put in for the hunt at BF Grant. We will wait and see.
I'm hoping to get on the Di-Lane hunt again, doubt I can get in two years in a row though.
Did you use a rejection? 1 or 2 will get you there.
I got drawn for and attended the Di-lane hunt last season, so I've got 0 priority points this year.
The way I read it you can use any points you have for something you want. I didn't put in for any quota hunts this year since they take my favorite one out and opened it up to the general public.
Only thing I keep putting in for is the gator hunts hopefully next year is the year. Thinking I'm going to use 4 or 5 points for it.
Across the board I think I got 14points.

No, you can't mix and match points. Deer priority points are for deer hunts, even more specificially a state park deer hunt priority point is only for a state park deer hunt, waterfowl is for waterfowl, etc....
OP - You're good. The 'quota' hunts are certain hunts on certain days on certain state owned or operated lands for certain species that have a 'quota', or limited number of hunters allowed. There are quota hunts for deer, turkey, small game, etc...
For you, Georgia has roughly a million acres of public land open to hunting that is open without quotas. Pick up a copy of the regs at your local Walmart or sporting goods store and read the open dates on the various WMA's etc...
Good luck!

Anyone hunted Rum Creek?
Well, low and behold, I did get picked for the 1st Di-Lane hunt again this year!
Saw a few shooters last year and ended up taking a 165lb doe, hope this year works out.
