Summary of Federal Regulations for Migratory Game Birds

In addition to State regulations, the following Federal rules apply to the taking, possession, shipping, transporting, and storing of migratory game birds. This is only a summary. Each hunter should also consult actual Federal Regulations, which may be found in Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20 (www.gpo.gov).


Restrictions

No person shall take migratory game birds:

Pen-Reared Quail & Translocation

Pen-reared Birds

GA law (Section 27-2-14) permits the release of pen-reared quail on private land for the purposes of training pointing, flushing and retrieving dogs. The only requirement is the possession of documentation showing proof of purchase for the birds being released. There is no closed season for training dogs on private land. Where quail are being released for the purpose of hunting, depending on the circumstances, a private or commercial shooting preserve license is required (Section 27-3-110).

Feral Hog Management

Feral Hog Management

Feral hogs are an invasive species that can cause extensive damage to native flora and fauna, agricultural crops, livestock, forest regeneration, and the environment.
While sport hunting of feral hogs has become a popular recreational activity, it rarely is an effective tool for managing feral hog populations and damage caused by feral hogs.
Below are some excellent resources to familiarize yourself with the identification, biology, behavior, damage, and control methods of feral hogs.
