You have to purchase a WMA stamp, print it out online, get at Walmart, etc.
With a WMA stamp you can go to any WMA/ PFA/ WMA shooting range in the state of Ga.
A hunting licence, big game licence if you plan to hunt deer, or turkey.
Maybe somebody else will chime in and give more info on this, I hunt a private lease, bu get out and walk the WMA and look for signs of hogs / turkeys.
Also, to hunt hogs on WMA's, you must use a firearm for whats in season, for example, through Feb 28th is small game season so you would have to hunt with a .22 or shotgun.
Get a copy of the Ga DNR regulations and read up.
Enjoy.
The best thing to do is go to the DNR Website, gohuntga.com and read the regulations. You can download maps for all public land in Ga. Also call your local Conservation Ranger for information about local WMAs. Good Luck!!!
Don't forget to check in at station during turkey season only other thing missin from above post
One thing that you MUST be aware of. If packing (sidearm) loaded on a WMA you have to have a GWL.
If you're hunting a WMA during turkey season... BE CAREFUL!!... scout your area very well and try to get AWAY from the standard pathways, and be prepared to walk up on someone or someone walk up on you. Turkey hunting is tough on public land, much different than being in a tree stand for deer IMHO.
As for packing a concealed weapon,with CCL, on WMAs,we can`t do it on Corps.of Engineers land,ie West Point,Clarks Hill,etc.
