I spent the first 18 years of my life down there, and it is a great location. The Altamaha WMA is very well managed and well kept. MOre hogs than they know what to do with. A john boat is definitely recommended to get to some of the more remote areas like Rhett's and Butler.
There is great food like Mud Cat Charlie's, B & Js, and the Old School Diner. Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, and Sea Island are within 30 minutes.
If you are flying, the Brunswick airport is 10 minutes from the WMA, but its about equidistant from both the Savannah and Jacksonville airport.
Should be a fun event!
