Okay, I guess I'll stick to hunting deer here in GA, all you gotta do here
is pay $20 for a big game license and your ready to go, and you get 5 tags
and we're up to 4 or 5 either sex days here in the Northern part, and in
South GA it's either sex about the whole season because there are just so
many deer there. The only problem is that there aren't a whole lot of
good off-roading trails here like the one you described, guess I'll do my
hunting here then take a trip out west to find some cool 4WD trails....
