The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) reminds hunters that June 1 was opening day of the 2009-2010 quota hunt application period. Successful quota hunt applications are selected solely from the online applicant pool, so interested hunters must apply online through their personal accounts on the Division Web site, www.gohuntgeorgia.com.
"Our goal is to make the application process as efficient and customer friendly as possible. Customers with a WRD online account can facilitate this effort by keeping their e-mail addresses current," says WRD Assistant Chief of Game Management John Bowers. "By utilizing applicant e-mail addresses for quota hunt correspondence, including sending application status alerts and answering applicant questions, we have successfully improved customer service and saved sportsmen's dollars."
To be eligible for quota hunt drawings applicants must ensure that they have a valid online account and must apply prior to midnight as follows: July 31 for alligator quota hunts; September 1 for deer quota hunts; September 1 for State Park quota hunts; October 15 for waterfowl quota hunts; and February 15, 2010 for turkey quota hunts.
Hunters who have applied in years past or those who have recently completed a hunter education course may have pre-existing accounts with which to apply and must login and update their accounts to begin the application process.
Interested persons without pre-existing accounts should visit www.gohuntgeorgia.com and select "Quota Hunts," from the Home page under the "Permits & Services" menu to create a new account and submit applications online.
Upon completion of the selection process, applicants will receive a status notification e-mail and also will be able to login to their accounts to view their updated status. In addition, complete lists of chosen participants will be available at www.gohuntgeorgia.com .
