1. Georgia law requires hunters to have a current Georgia hunting license in their possession while hunting in Georgia. The type of license needed depends on state residency, age, type of game hunted, and other factors. 2. Hunting on private lands is allowed only WITH the signed permission of the land owner. 3. Hunters are required to wear 500+ square inches of blaze orange or fluorescent pink above the waist. 4. Bow hunting in Clarke county is from Sept 14 to Jan31, and either sex deer can be taken. 5. Legal hunting hours are from one half-hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. 6. Deer that are standing in streams or open water cannot be taken. While not specifically required in Georgia, it is good hunting practice to limit hunting to no closer than 150 yards (1 and 1/2 football fields) from residences. Since Cedar Creek lots are typically less than 1 acre, very few lot lines will be longer than 150 yards meaning anyone adhering to good hunting practices would NOT consider bow hunting deer in our neighborhood. In addition, since deer move around, even after getting shot, permission to access neighboring properties would be needed to follow injured deer. Finally, if you examine ACC property maps, you find that private property does include creeks, ditches and power line cuts, meaning there is little non-private property in which to hunt. ​ If you choose to permit bow hunting on your property, know that Georgia law (OCGA 51-3-20 through 51-3-26) explicitly shields landowners from civil liability for injuries to persons who use their land for recreational purposes without charge unless the landowner willfully or maliciously fails to guard against or warn of a dangerous condition, use, structure, or activity. Landowners will not be liable unless they violate this standard of care. Georgia law (OCGA 27-3-1) further extends this same protection to landowners, lessees of land, or lessees of hunting or fishing rights who give permission to another to hunt or fish on their property with or without charge.
