Publisher's note. Spring 2027 dates from the WRD 2026-2027 Big & Small Game Seasons flyer (vector text read from the source SVG). Georgia has no fall turkey season on this flyer — spring only. Public lands open a week later than private lands and are capped at one gobbler per season per area. The Special Opportunity hunt is only for youth under 16 and mobility-impaired hunters and does not apply to public lands unless stated otherwise.
