Craig everyone hunts in my county . While you can hear guys hunting with dogs to the east I could hear guys shooting ducks to the south and quail hunters to the north I kid you not .

I don't know what type of budget you have but I Know of 2 highly respected plantations locally if your interested .
My budget is meager compared to most on this forum

Are you close to Savanah ?
My pop was stationed down there for awhile at Savanah in the 50's . Seems they had an AFB there back then .

I shot skeet a few times with an older gentleman from Macon Georgia . He was a first team All American at one point and when I was shooting I think he made the senior and veteran teams fellows name was TJ Maddox . I suspect he may no longer be with us as he was late 60's I think 25 years ago when I shot with him .

Well im 21 and work part time so I don't really even have a budget lol
Im in Seminole county close to Dothan Al or Tallahassee , Dothan is 50 miles west Tally is about 60 miles southeast . Theres so many hunting plantations down this way you could find someone who would could setup a dog hunt . I have seen quail hunts here go from 300$-2000$ a day just depends .
Deer hunts are cheaper though .

This is a locally place that is pretty big

You ever go to Albany much ?

If I'm not mistaken thats where the guys that have McWhorter Custom Rifles are located . McWhorter is the one who furnishes all the rifles for the TV show "Brush Country Monsters" . McWhorter uses mostly custom clones of Remington 700 actions (Stiller Borton etc) .

No Its considered in general to be wise by not going to Albany .
It has a pretty bad crime rate .

I believe the name remains Hunter. It was first Hunter Air Force Base when my father was stationed there. He was a C-124A pilot. When the USAF left it the US Army took it over to support nearby Camp/Fort Stewart GA and renamed it Hunter Army Airfield.
