Yankee Getting Ready to Hunt In Georgia

[M1Tanker]

Only a week to go until the trip to Georgia for a quail hunt...I am starting to get pumped.

Going to be a long ride from Da U.P. but it will be nice to be in a different climate for awhile.

If it ever dries out...I can only get usually on a sunday and for the last 3 or 4 weekends its been bad weather....I haven't even been one time in GA this year....just been a crazy year with work and weather. What part are you going to down around albany? plantation, private, public land?

WITH TONGUE FIRMLY PLANTED IN CHEEK, AS A FORMER GA RESIDENT I PRESENT THE FOLLOWING:

- Boiled peanuts, grits, b'kuts & gravy, and chicken fried steak are revered state dishes in GA. Be prepared.

- Listen carefully. Practice your linguistic skills by watching re-runs of King of the Hill to see if you can understand Boomhauer. Different accent, same principle.

- Do not be offended when they call you a Yankee. Even though we are originally Canadian, ANYONE from north of the Mason Dixon line is labeled the same.

- Be aware of cultural temperature differences. Do not wear shorts & a T-shirt & pronounce the weather "Springlike" when the native Georgians are wearing long pants, flannel shirts, and puffy vests.



All kidding aside, enjoy yourself. I hope the weather co-operates. It's been unseasonably wet down in here in the Southeast, so pack accordingly.

Heading to Pope Plantation in Washington, GA...I won a contest on the net for a free hunt and stay there...also spending time in Canton with my brother-in-law.

I'll try not to pack shorts

Wah!...now I almost feel guilty!

Nice looking GSP in your avatar...what's the breeding?

[snips]

Wow, I did'nt know you were going to Washington, we ran NSTRA trials there for years...

The weather might not be much different from what you have been having at home. We just got Three inches of snow today with more in the forecast.

[M1Tanker]

Yup, Washington...long way from little ol' Gwinn, MI!

I'll try not to bring more snow with me
