You're going to fit in on this site great I believe. Most people complain about hunting public land. I prefer it and enjoy the challenge. It gives me access to thousands of acres of land. Personally I would get bored hunting the same 40 acres all the time. I have not seen another hunter while in the woods yet this season... although once gun season comes in that would change for sure.
I'm not far from there. I've always been told the public land around here is overcrowded and the deer are so pressured they're practically nocturnal. Last year was my first season as a deer hunter, and I was still successful. I even decided to still hunt because I just couldn't bring myself to purchase a stand. I had never heard of saddle hunting, but I knew that I needed to get into the areas other hunters didn't want to go. I wasn't willing to carry a bulky, heavy climbing stand all the way, up and down steep grades, and through thick stuff. So... if a rookie hunter can make it happen while still hunting with all the mistakes I made, and see as many deer as I did, it must be where and how those people are hunting. If you're willing to work hard for it, there is some good hunting around here. I'm excited to explore more of the public land available to us here in north Georgia. Good luck!Hello everyone, i realise this is a old thread that i had started but just wanted to give a update. So i had a good job offer last week and the family and i are finally making the move to northern Georgia. We will be living a few miles south of Dawsonville. I move down August 12 and the family will be coming down in November. I can't wait to learn a new area to hunt. Hopefully I'll be posting pics of my 1st Georgia buck this fall
