Not sure what to expect? Try the hunter education practice test before you take the course. Get ready for your Georgia Hunter Education Test by trying your hunting knowledge.
Question 1:
The 'sustained lead' shooting method is used when firing which of the following?
That's Correct!
This technique is meant for shotgun users, who are shooting at game birds in flight. To use this method, you need to estimate the speed, range and angle at which your target is flying. This requires some practice and experience to get right.
Sorry, that's incorrect!
To use the sustained lead technique, you need to estimate the speed, range and angle at which your target is flying. Once you’ve made the estimate, you swing the muzzle that distance ahead of the target and maintain this distance (or lead) in front of the bird, up to and after you’ve fired the shot.
Question 2:
Which of the following firearms is most commonly used when hunting turkey?
That's Correct!
Shotguns are designed to fire either a shell containing multiple pellets or a single projectile. They have a shorter shooting range than rifles, so they’re commonly used for hunting turkey, small game and game birds in flight
Sorry, that's incorrect!
Shotguns have a shorter shooting range than rifles, so they’re commonly used for hunting turkey. Most turkey hunters use a 10 or 12-gauge shotgun with a tight choke.
Question 3:
What is the most important piece of safety equipment a hunter must have while hunting from a boat?
That's Correct!
If you want to survive ANY kind of water-related emergency, make sure you’re wearing a Coast Guard-approved life jacket anytime you’re near or on the water.
Sorry, that's incorrect!
Hunting gear is heavy—if you fall into a lake while wearing it, you’ll sink like a brick. So, wear a lifejacket because it could save your life, your buddy’s life, or even your dog’s life. Enough said?
Question 4:
Which of the following game species are regulated by state laws?
That's Correct!
If the animal is an international traveler, such as migratory game birds, it will fall under federal law (frequent flyers). If it stays local all year-round, such as deer or big game, it will fall under state law.
Sorry, that's incorrect!
Each state manages the hunting of its own non-migratory species, such as deer, rabbits, turkeys and pheasants.
Question 5:
Hunters of which of the following ages may hunt without a Hunter Education Card in Georgia, as long as they are supervised?
That's Correct!

Sorry, that's incorrect!

Question 6:
What amount of Hunter Orange are you required to wear when hunting deer during firearms season in Georgia?
That's Correct!

Sorry, that's incorrect!
Hunters are required to wear at least 500 square inches of hunter or "blaze" orange. The orange must be worn above the waist and may include a head covering.
Question 7:
Which of the following is considered to be an invasive species in the state of Georgia?
That's Correct!

There is no closed season or bag limit for which of the following, when hunting on private land?
That's Correct!
When hunting on private land, there is no closed season or bag limit for feral hogs. Hogs may also be hunted at night on private land.
Sorry, that's incorrect!
Feral hogs may be hunted without season or bag limits when hunting on private land. Tighter restrictions apply to other game animal types.
Question 9:
Baiting for the purpose of hunting is prohibited in Georiga, except when hunting which of the following, on private land?
That's Correct!
