Well, its good to hear you have located a place to settle. Start looking around for good places to hunt, including public lands. Check up on Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia and buys gallons of Permethrin to protect against ticks. Early bow season is HOT, so spend some time shooting in the heat. One more piece of advice... SNAKE BOOTS. You will like hunting in the South. Our deer are not as big as you find in some other places, but we have a bunch of them. Hogs are plentiful as well. In short, welcome to the sunny South.

Best wishes to you Ron!

Looking forward to lots of new hunting stories from you!

Congrats on the move! My family almost relocated to Georgia last year but after evaluating the work/home balance of the job I was offered and the lack of services for my older daughter's autism, we decided it wasn't the right fit for us. I lived in Georgia in the early 2000's and didn't realize how great the hunting was compared to back north! You are going to enjoy it! Good luck!

Good luck Ron. Maybe a 3d before the move. Dan

Hey Dan........we will try for a shoot before we go.

Ron, I saw the post you made on the TBG page. Jeff had already responded, so I'll just respond here. First, welcome to Georgia. I know several people in the area you're moving, and the NGT trad shoot there is a good one and close to you. They put on a 3d shoot each month.

The TBG is the state trad bowhunting organization, and although we do have shoots, we also do several group hunts each year. We're doing a deer hunt late October at Berry College WMA , a pig hunt at Chickesawhatchee WMA in January, and probably another deer hunt in between. I look forward to meeting you.

Thanks for the info........I also am looking forward to meeting new folks........

It's a done deal.......had the closing on the house today. I now will live in Buford Ga. very shortly. After 66 years in central New York between the Adirondacks and the Catskills will be the north Ga. foothills not far from the Smokies. Will be some major changes coming up but I think mostly good changes.

A big plus for you if Regs are the same as when I lived in Gwinnett County, and they probably are, is that you had an extended bow season. When gun time ended on January 1st you still had until January 31st with a bow.

ron w · « **Reply #54 on:** August 05, 2018, 09:52:50 PM »

Now it is a done deal.......we own a home in Buford, our house is under contract in New York and most of our stuff is moved down. One last trip down with the rest of our stuff in a few weeks. It all happened so fast, but I will be hunting in Georgia soon.

Are we there yet....Are we there yet......Are we there yet...?

Kidding Ron! Glad things are going well for you and yours! Look forward to the hunting stories to follow in your new neck o' the woods!

Sam McMichael · « **Reply #56 on:** August 06, 2018, 09:08:32 AM »

Have gotten acclimated to the heat and humidity yet?

ron w · « **Reply #57 on:** August 06, 2018, 09:20:49 AM »

The heat makes my joints feel better.......lol. Actually I keep tabs on the weather, when it's hot and humid here in N.Y. like it is now.......it's cooler in Georgia.......not by much but it is cooler. The weather is on the list of reasons I'm going south.

Congratulations on your new home Ron and welcome to GA! I am sure that you will be happy here and enjoy what our state has to offer. I am about 80 miles W. of you in Cedartown, GA. Maybe we can get together for a deer or turkey hunt after you get settled in.
I hope that your move goes well.

Welcome to Dixie! I live over on the AL/GA line, Alabama side, but I hunt exclusively on the GA side. Its a sportsman’s paradise in my eyes. I’ve lived here for 17 years, also from NY (Jamestown, just south of Buffalo). Most deer are small, but you can harvest a bunch of them to make up for it. Pigs are the jewel though, however you decide to go after them. I prefer fair-chase wild run, but thats just me. Welcome and enjoy! I lived over by Savannah for 4 years, the low country is its own world, but no less than the hill country over on this end.
