[mylastnameisHUNTER]

List the top 5 counties in the state of GA that you think consistently produce big bucks. I don't know that I have ever seen this topic on here and am very interested to see some of your answers. I don't have enough proof for my answer but when I think about the best hunting counties in GA my list is as follows. Changed my list. Fulton deserves a spot I think.

1. Harris
2. Washington
3. Meriwether
4. Taylor
5. Fulton

I feel slighted, none of ya mentioned my poor little ol county. I know for a fact, we have some B & C 90 to 100's hanging around.

[DuckArrow]

If you dont mind me asking, why did you list Washington Co. Not saying we don't produce or have good bucks, but we just are not very popular or lucky with gon.. it seems like most good bucks are killed by people that dont subscribe to gon. But there are some nice ones around.

[lcopeland22]

Macon
Harris
Morgan
Jasper
Rockdale

[mylastnameisHUNTER]

I got buddies that hunt there and they always hsve good ones on camera or brought back to camp....may not be deserving of top 5 but i know id love to hunt there

[BassHunter25]

Never hunted any listed. probably none within two hours of where I live. Unfortunately.

[buckwhisperer]

Macon
Lee
Fulton
Meriwether
Harris

[G5BONECRUSHER]

I made the maps below a couple of years ago based on the Ga Deer Registry of B&C Deer and Deer over 160.

By historical # of recorded deer up to two yrs ago this would be the order of the Top 5.

1 Macon
2 Worth
3 Dooly
4 Colquitt
5 Lee & Jones

Based on the most recent 10 yrs I would say.

1 Worth
2 Colquitt
3 Lee
4 Brooks
5 Harris

[catfishbatfish]

cobb has bigger bucks than any place i have ever hunted used to hunt hancock for 15yrs my uncle has 20 big bucks on the wall from there

[polkhunt]

Worth
Lee
Macon
Fulton
Jasper

[Bowhunter Matt]

i'm sure their are a lot of hunters that are very happy their county did not make any of these list! i just asoon not make it to easy for the out of staters. they already get to many tags for way to little money.

[_BuckMaster_]

cant say about the rest but for sure jones county know for a fact a 172 2/8 12 point typical gross. 169 4/8 net may go up a tad gotta wait and see that was taken this year from there 2nd week of rifle season and pics will never be seen

[jtomczak]

I'd put Washington up there, just most of the bruisers there aren't reporter in GON. Every time I go by the processor there, there are some pigs in the cooler.

After that I'd say Dooly, Worth, Fulton and Macon counties.

[.308 Yota]

Cobb...but they all hide on Kennesaw Mtn National park so you don't see them till they get road killed!

[turkeytalk333]

Sounds like my spot is still a secret!

[DeepweR]

No big deer in Washington Co,,, yall hush!!!! Lol

[pstrahin]

I have seen some pictures of some brutes that came out of Meriwether this year.

1. Macon

3. Harris
4. Fulton
5. Colquitt

Some others are Troup, Pulaski, or anything on the Flint River.

[dawgs511]

Y'all keep saying Fulton...but I've lived here my whole life and can't even think of anywhere legal to deer hunt with a rifle around Johns Creek Sounds like I need to quit driving to Burke County and just stay here in Fulton!

[kevincox]

Worth
Macon
Brooks
Fulton
Lee

$300 aint too little money bud

[vsudoc]

I haven't seen one person mention Turner County. Turner county produces some gaggers every year! I know of one area within the county that harvests 10-15 deer over 140 every year! 4-5 of these are usually over 160.
Anyway, Washington County dang sure isn't close to being in the top 10 much less the top 5

[sman]

Macon
Dooly
Lee
Worth
Dodge

[vsudoc]

Turner, Worth, Lee, Dougherty, Mitchell, Brooks.
Macon, Harris Meriwether
Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb
Morgan, Jasper
ALL these counties produce more big bucks annually than Washington County.

I don't register deer that I harvest, but, if I did ,I would have 6 out of top 10 spots with a rifle and ALL 10 out of ten spots with a bow in Washington County. I have filmed more big, harvested deer in Turner Worth Lee and Dougherty in the past 10 yrs than I know of ever being harvested in Washington County.

[vsudoc]

1. worth
2. turner
3. brooks
4. lee, dougherty
5. morgan, jasper
6. fulton, dekalb, meriwether
7. macon, harris

my 2 cents.

[SouthernYankee]

Why do y'all all talk about Fulton and Cobb there aren't any deer there...effingham county is where its at

You can't legally gun hunt anywhere in N.Fulton I trad. bow hunt near you

[ted 88]

Not necessarily in this order, but I'd say : Harris, meriweather, Macon, Jasper, and Fulton.

[SWAMPBUCK1987]

Washington county has some good deer for sure. You just never see them on the internet , but then again I moved to Harris County this year and I aint disappointed.

[Bo D]

Glad mine isnt mentioned, humble folks around here can careless about getting deer in books...

[crazybuck123]

worth,turner,macon,dooly,sumter turner county produces monter after monster every year ive seen most of em none of get reported

[CharrDad]

Great thread. Perfect timing for those of us are searching for a new or first club. I did some quick math and have determined the top counties based on the total number of mentions above. These numbers will change of course as folks keep adding to the list. But as of right now ...Here is how it shook out:

(1) Macon = 15 mentions
(2) Fulton = 14 mentions
(3) Harris = 12 mentions
(4) Lee = 11 mentions
(5) Worth = 10 mentions
(6) Dooly = 7 mentions
(7) Brooks = 6 mentions
(8) Meriwether, Colquitt, Jasper = 5 mentions

[jimmy ballard jr]

Coweta, Meriwether,Heard,Colquitt,Fulton!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zak26]

Early county has some nice deer also.have hunted there for years

John's creek was named after John Schneider( Bo Duke of the Dukes of hazzard) It used to be his private hunting land. Why do you think they named the big subdivision "Deer Lake"?
