What is there to do in Georgia

Greg Czaplewski · 10-18-2012, 10:19 AM

Gentlemen,

My wife informed me that she will be attending a conference in Atlanta, Georgia the first week of November and if I wanted to accompany her, I might occupy my time at some shooting venue or hunting establishment.

Living in Phoenix, I am not familiar with the south and would be open to recommendations from anyone familiar with such activities in the Atlanta area. Being a retired guy and only shooting a GH Parker, I would prefer an affordable day shooting venue. We will have a hotel to stay at so I wouldn't need a lodge setting.

Looking forward to my quail season in Arizona, and the lowering temperatures,

Thanks,

Greg

Greg Google Hunting Preserves around Atlanta, sorry I don't know of one right off! Stone Mountain is a great 1 day trip! Gary

You might look at claytargetsonline.com. Click on Georgia and you will see a list and map. Tom Lowes is not from the airport. I have not been there in many years but it was formerly Wolf Creek just off Camp Creek Parkway. There are also many hunting preserves in Georgia if you are interested. Not much in wild birds anymore. Hope this helps. Where in her conference? Gerald

There is a place called Burge Plantation in Madison which is a good ways from Atlanta, but I hear is awful nice. Nowadays when I hear a friend from Atlanta went sporting clays shooting, that is where they go. My favorite thing in Atlanta is the Varsity - the old hot dog joint near Georgia Tech.

Check out Barnsleyresort.com In Adairsville Georgia. Straight up I-75 from Atlanta going North. Really nice people there. I let him have a little brittany named Scooter a while back. If you go there say hello to him for me. When I was there birds were everywhere. Bring plenty of money and I will join you.
