Wildlife biologists of the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division Deer Committee prepared this booklet. This is the third revision and reprinting of this publication since 1988. It is intended to serve as a source of general information for those with a casual interest in white-tailed deer but not as a detailed guide for land managers. The “simplified” approach to deer harvest management used in this booklet is taken from a combination of deer population models. The committee hopes this booklet will ultimately benefit the valuable deer resource in Georgia and help to insure it’s proper management for the interest and enjoyment of generations to come.
