Hunting season references

Browse 17 imported whitetail calendar references. These dates do not establish whether a particular location, method, animal or permit is eligible.

Calendar reference, with applicability still unverified

Georgia: 3 references. Texas: 2. Florida: 12. No location has been approved by this reference system. Opening a calendar window does not authorize a hunt. Consult the official agency and local land rules.

The public HHS/1.2.2 forecast now shows partial weather activity references for five configured species or groups. Activity scores are visible with a pending or risk reminder; they are not legal permission. Completing your own checklist does not unlock trip recommendations for uncovered state/species combinations. Separate administrator diagnostics still retain strict reference-only applicability checks.

This calendar contains whitetail references only. Mule deer, elk, turkey and waterfowl activity settings do not add verified legal coverage here. No reviewed hard-check coverage is activated.

Coverage still to resolve

GA

  • County / subcounty archery-only restrictions are not resolved.
  • Public-land, either-sex, antler and extended-season restrictions are not executable.

TX

  • County and North / South zone applicability is not resolved.
  • No-season counties, land-specific programs and Mountain-time locations are not covered.

FL

  • ZIP centroids and bounding boxes do not establish a point-specific hunting zone.
  • DMU, antlered / antlerless, WMA and permit conditions are not resolved.
  • Archery entries include crossbow-season windows; equipment and permit applicability needs a separate check.
  • Western Panhandle time zones must not default to America/New_York.
