For hunters, the start of hunting season is an event that requires planning and preparation. If you’ve already scouted out the best spots and rejuvenated your hunting supplies since the close of last season, then it’s time to celebrate. Here are a few ways to make your opening day trek an eventful experience.  

How to Celebrate the Start of a New Hunting Season

1. Purchase a New Firearm

The start of hunting season is the ideal time to purchase a new firearm. If last season drained your hunting supplies or you’re just interested in an upgrade, consider investing in new gear. A new firearm could be the key to improving your success rate from last season. 

2. Head to the Practice Range

If you tend to only use your firearms during hunting season, visit your local gun range to sharpen up your skills. This is also the best time to try out new weapons. You’ll be able to see how it feels to shoot, and if you are using a scope, you can practice lining it up correctly before heading to the woods. 

3. Hunt Seasonal Animals

Buying new toys is fun, but the real celebration begins when you’ve made it to your plot and can start hunting seasonal game. In Georgia, grouse, march hens, opossum, raccoon, squirrel, bear, deer, and turkey are all legal to hunt in the fall, although there are limits and restrictions you must adhere to. Before you go, make sure you have the proper hunting licenses and review the latest regulations.
