About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedBulloch County sits in Georgia's Coastal Plain (Green Zone), where liberal either-sex deer regulations allow antlerless harvest throughout the entire firearms season. The county is dominated by irrigated agriculture — soybeans, corn, and peanuts — interspersed with pine stands, hardwood draws, and swampy bottomlands along the Ogeechee River. Deer densities are high, fueled by abundant farm-edge food sources. Public land is limited to the Oliver Bridge WMA (~1,560 acres of pine-hardwood swamp borderlands along the Ogeechee), so access is primarily through private leases or landowner permission. Hunting pressure on private land is moderate to high given the strong deer numbers; the Oliver Bridge WMA receives light-to-moderate pressure relative to larger state WMAs.
Flat to gently rolling Coastal Plain. Landscape is a mosaic of irrigated row-crop agriculture (soybeans, corn, peanuts), loblolly pine plantations, mixed hardwood drains, and swampy bottomland along the Ogeechee River corridor. Elevation change is minimal. Soils are fertile, supporting good deer body weights and antler development by Georgia standards.
Moderate to high on private agricultural land where deer numbers draw consistent pressure. Oliver Bridge WMA is lightly pressured by WMA standards due to its small size and limited road access, making it a viable walk-in option. No other WMAs in Bulloch or immediately adjacent counties.
Bulloch County falls in the Green Zone — most of Georgia south of the mountains. Either-sex (antlerless) deer may be harvested throughout the entire firearms season with no special either-sex day restrictions. Statewide bag limit: 12 deer total per season, max 10 antlerless, max 2 antlered. One buck must meet Quality Buck criteria (4+ points one inch or longer on one side, OR 15-inch minimum outside spread). New for 2025-26: an Oct. 4-5 antlerless-only early firearms weekend was added for private lands in most Green Zone counties including Bulloch.
Archery: Sep 13 – Jan 11 (2025-26). Muzzleloader/Primitive Weapons: Oct 11 – Jan 11. Firearms: Oct 18 – Jan 11. Turkey spring season typically runs late March through mid-May; Bulloch is in the statewide turkey zone with a 3-bird spring limit. Small game (squirrel, rabbit, dove) also available. Deer rut activity in the Coastal Plain typically peaks mid-to-late October through November.
Exceptional deer numbers driven by abundant row-crop agriculture. High-quality food diversity in Coastal Plain soils produces above-average body weights and antler growth. Ogeechee River swamp corridor at Oliver Bridge WMA offers classic Georgia bottomland hunting for both deer and turkey. The combination of liberal either-sex regulations, long seasons, and a generous 12-deer bag limit makes Bulloch one of the most hunter-friendly counties in the state for antlerless harvest.
