Hunting in GA vs MN

MN Deer



GA Deer







Even the picture is bigger. Deer in GA aren't corn fed and tend to be a little small. As someone told me, "nice racks, no bodies." I totally agree. The big advantages in GA are a longer season (mid Oct - Jan) and the bag limit (12 total, 2 bucks).

We are renting a beautiful piece of land in Eastern GA, of which we're able to use 5 acres. The first 2 times out hunting were great. Less than 100 yards from the house I encountered a large buck (for GA) but wasn't able to get a safe shot (in between me and the house). Since then, I haven't seen ANYTHING. Lot's of squirrels, raccoons, a bunny (which I almost stepped on) and a big red fox. Maybe it has something to do with the moon phase, but hopefully I will see something soon - we're moving in a month.
