what part of ga. are you from. i'm about an hour and half south west of columbus ga. near eufuala al. i've hunted since i can remember and still don't know it all, but i do know what not to do, our season opens oct 15 for bow, maybe we could get together and you can hunt a day or two with me, (free of charge) may not learn alot, but enjoy being in the woods isa lesson learned, good luck either way.
