Gary,
Atlanta is one of the many many places I want to try hunting, its about an hour away. There is another place about a half hour north of me, a glass customer gave me a book his neighbor wrote called "ghost" by Capt. Tony Petrella, it was quite a nice book to read. Tony used to donate a hunt every year to the ruffed grouse society. His dog I heard was quite a bird dog, the guys would go crazy bidding for the chance to watch his dog hunt so they raised a lot of money for that society. Tony used to plant trees for the grouse all along the manistee river where he lived. Tony passed away, there is a plaque on a tree commemorating him, someday I hope to hunt that area and find his plaque, after reading his book, that would really mean something to me.
