Bunnies in the Moonlight: A Guide to Georgia's Nighttime NOPE for Rabbit Hunters
Ah, the thrill of the hunt! Crisp autumn air, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and the satisfying plumpness of a rabbit dinner. But wait, gotta hold those hunting horses (or beagles, as the case may be). In Georgia, unless you're mistaking fluffy for ferocious, rabbit hunting under the cloak of darkness is a big ol' no-no.

Why the Nighttime Nay Say to Nibbly Night Visitors?
There are a couple of reasons why Georgia draws the line at nocturnal rabbit retrieval. For one, safety is a big concern. Reduced visibility in the dark can lead to mistaken identity – whoops, turns out that wasn't a rabbit but your buddy Carl taking a nature pee! Secondly, fair game is the name of the game (or should we say, the hunt). Spotlighting sleepy bunnies isn't exactly a sporting challenge, is it?
But Officer, What if I Have Night Vision Goggles Like Rambo?
Even if you're channeling your inner action hero with some fancy night-time specs, it's still a no-go in Georgia. The law's the law, and it aims to keep things fair for both the fuzzy wabbits and the hunters.
Remember: Stick to hunting rabbits during the day, when everyone (including Carl) can see what's going on.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
So When Can I Actually Hunt Those Rabbits?
