Don't Get Caught in a Sticky Situation (Literally)
Let's be honest, who wants to explain to the judge why they got pinched with a trunk full of raccoon tails and no license? Getting a trapping license is the first step to becoming a responsible, law-abiding trapper (and avoiding an awkward conversation with wildlife officials).
Here's the Fur Real on Getting Your License
Alright, alright, enough with the puns. Here's the down-low on obtaining your trapping license in Georgia:
- Channel Your Inner Couch Potato: You can snag your license from the comfort of your own recliner! The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR) offers online purchasing [cue angelic music].
- Phone a Friend (or the GADNR): Feeling less web-savvy? Give the GADNR a call and they'll sort you out over the phone.
- Get Out There: If you're feeling social (or your internet connection is about as reliable as a greased pig), you can head down to a local license vendor.
Remember: You'll need to decide if you're a resident or non-resident trapper, so dig out your ID just in case.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
