Turkey season opens on March 23, 2013. Although some politicians would prefer us to hunt with slingshots (until they are outlawed as weapons of mass destruction), we remain free to use shotguns in the great state of Georgia. In fact, our Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division and the Georgia State Chapter of the National Wild […]

The Law Enforcement Section of Georgia’s DNR Wildlife Resources Division had another busy week around Lake Allatoona. An interesting one too.
