Deer hunters across four Northwest Georgia counties have harvested an estimated 4,944 deer so far during the 2026–2027 hunting season, according to current figures from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The latest figures from the DNR’s Deer Harvest Dashboard show Floyd County leading the four-county area with an estimated 1,770 deer harvested, followed by Gordon County with 1,355. Walker County has recorded an estimated 1,011 deer harvested, while Chattooga County’s estimated harvest stands at 808. Statewide, Georgia hunters have harvested more than 107,000 deer through November 2, according to figures compiled from the DNR’s Game Check reporting system. The statewide estimates include more than 48,000 bucks and 59,000 does. The DNR adjusts current-season harvest estimates using Game Check reporting compliance rates from previous years. That means the figures include estimates of deer that may not have been reported through the system. Deer hunting continues across Georgia, and harvest numbers are expected to increase as the season progresses. Hunters are required to record their deer harvests and report them through Georgia Game Check within 24 hours. The Georgia DNR maintains an online deer harvest dashboard where hunters can follow statewide and county-by-county harvest estimates throughout the season.
