Georgia is preparing to enjoy the great outdoors with a day designated to recognize its wildlife and scenic parks.
Governor Brian Kemp's office issued a recent statement, publicly inviting residents to attend any of the multiple free scheduled events celebrating National Hunting and Fishing Day (NHF) on Saturday, September 28, 2024. Governor Kemp officially made this happen for Georgia through a recently signed proclamation.
Events scheduled for NHF Day in Georgia include family/kid fishing events and Outdoor Adventure Days which offer multiple activities like archery, fishing, shooting and more. Events are spread out across the entire state. In addition to these events, a FREE fishing day is offered to all Georgia residents on September 28. On this day, Georgia residents do NOT need a fishing license or a trout license to fish on any public waters in the state including lakes, streams, ponds and public fishing areas.
Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Division Director Ted Will said in a recent post, “This day provides an opportunity to highlight some great outdoor activities and to increase public awareness of the connection between hunting, angling, and conservation."
