Welcome to the official site of the Georgia Federation of Coon Hunters.

The GFCH was established to promote the sport of coon hunting and bring hunters together from across the state. The GFCH has a working relationship with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and State legislators in order to stay informed on current laws and pending legislation. The GFCH hosts several events each year including the Georgia State Hunt which is a two night hunt and two bench shows.
