WMA off season hog hunting

[Animalguy]

I’m looking for some clarity on hog hunting Ga WMAs, after small game season goes out.
What weapons are permissible in the off season?

I think hog days over also unless stated special hog hunt.

Today would be the last day for WMA hog hunting until the 2 weeks in May. You can still hunt them on private lands no weapons restrictions. But public land hunting ends today.

Feral hogs may be taken anytime a WMA is open to hunting, but hunters may only use weapons legal for the species for which the area is open. During small game hunts and dates, centerfire firearms are not allowed. On some WMAs during the May 16-31 coyote season, feral hogs may be taken unless otherwise noted in the specific area listing. On WMAs where feral hogs can be taken during May 16-31, any legal weapon may be used and hunters are required to wear fluorescent orange. Electronic calls may be used. No night hunting or baiting allowed. Dogs are NOT allowed unless otherwise specified.

The next opportunity to hunt feral hogs on a WMA will be turkey season, however only weapons legal for turkey hunting can be used. Archery, muzzleloader, or shotguns (ammunition included in restriction, cannot use slugs or buckshot.)

You can hunt them if the general turkey season is open, but you’ll have to use a weapon that is legal for turkey hunting in Ga.
Also, check the regs to ensure you don’t go when turkey season is closed to the general public for the quota hunts.
