Forsyth County will host two managed archery hunts this fall as part of efforts to reduce the overpopulation of white‑tailed deer in the southern portion of the county.
The youth hunt is scheduled for October 3‑4, followed by the adult hunt on October 24‑25. Registration for both events opens Monday.
The program is a partnership between Forsyth County and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Urban Deer Management Program. It was first implemented in 2024 to help limit damage to natural habitats and landscaping and to reduce deer‑related vehicle collisions.
