having a guide isn't bad, but its like cheating> also at same time
your being told what to do and NOT really learning HOW and WHY to do things

GA I think has a LOT of public lands, might be worth your time to talk to a few game wardens in area's you like to try, might find you some FREE hunting land

having a guide also DOESN:T always mean getting a deer too

so, be prepared just in case!
