Deer hunters, the week-long primitive weapons deer hunting season opens Saturday, Oct. 10.

Last year, almost 30,000 hunters took to the woods with muzzleloaders, bringing in more than 6,000 deer, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division (WRD).

“Fall is here and it’s time to zero in your muzzleloader, because primitive weapons season is just around the corner,” said Charlie Killmaster, state deer biologist with the WRD Game Management Section. “So few hunters take advantage of hunting with muzzleloaders compared to firearms, but it is like the calm before the storm. And, If you do head to the woods during this week-long season, be sure to take a kid hunting with you, and remember they can use any modern rifle during the primitive weapons season.”
