David,
I live in Carrollton which is in Carroll County. Take I20 west and just keep going. It's about 40 min west of atl. I worked in Putnam county about 5 years a go it's close to Wilkes I think but I may be wrong I'll look at a map tonight. Anywho, It's good to meet you. And yea there are some monster deer south of atlanta. I havent seen any huge deer here since I've been hunting but I always keep an eye out
