Georgia faces a game warden shortage, affecting monitoring of 2M hunters and 600-700K anglers.
Georgia faces a game warden shortage during the summer vacation season, impacting monitoring of 2M hunters and 600-700K anglers. DNR's workforce dropped from 250 in 2000 to 181 in 2017, rising to 234 in the 2025 budget. Col. Mike England says high turnover is due to challenging schedules, with $577k in the upcoming budget to hire six more wardens, but it won't significantly improve the situation.
