With many Georgians experiencing power outages and other challenges this past week, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division decided to extend the turkey quota hunt application deadline through 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 19, 2014.



“We want to give sportsmen and women every opportunity to apply for a turkey quota hunt and we realize that for many people this week, the previous deadline of February 15 was not a priority,” said John Bowers, chief of the Game Management Section. “Extending the deadline to the 19th provides a chance for everyone to get their application in for a chance to experience some of the best turkey hunting experiences available in Georgia.”

Noticed that last night. Thanks for the heads up. Thought I was losing it for a minute.

Well isn't that special...... I had a certain number of days to get my deer quota in and missed it on my own accord. I sent an e-mail asking to be let apply for a preference point one day late and was promptly told I had plenty of time and pretty much tough luck. Gotta love DNR bending rules to make themselves look better......

I got a feeling something could be wrong with the quota system and they might be using the snow situation to blame it on to buy time to fix it or maybe not.

I got 7 rejections Be 8 after the 19th. Unless it is messed up and I get river creek with one.

I know your determined to get there but I would reconsider and hunt a bunch of other ones for the next 7 yrs.

One big trip you've waited for or a special hunt every yr for the next 7 yrs.

Yeah Really don't have a turkey huntin buddy nowdays. That's why Im just building points. I decided using all these for one turkey hunt is not to smart

Just applied for standing boy archery only. I only have one point to apply so I'm sure I won't get it.

Does any one know when we will be notified if we are drawn?

I bet they noticed the number of applicants was down so they extended. I'm hoping to get drawn at Joe Kurtz.

I would love to try my hand at turkey hunting. I signed up and then removed my application. I really don't know much about calling them in - I just see them deer hunting.
I agree, I bet it was low numbers they were getting.
