Quail hunting fort benning GA

[Germanshorthair]

I have hunted for the last two weeks on fort benning GA and so far have Dan into a good number of birds. Nothing like in the Midwest of course but after living in Virginia most of my life I am very pleased. If anyone has ever hunted here or is in the GA area and has other good hunting locations please let me know. Thanks

Be sure and put in for the quota hunts every year. They can be hit or miss, but I understand they are pretty good most years.

I have been talking with a company about a job in Georgia and have really been wondering about the birds there. I imagine you have about as many birds in Virginia as we do in Missouri, so any report or review on Georgia bird numbers would REALLY be appreciated!

Georgia quail hunting is a shell of its former self, at best. Most of the plantations quail hunts are either planted birds or early release. Wild birds can be found on private plantations that manage for them, but they are private. I find a few birds every year on both public and private land but the numbers are so low that I don't shoot wild birds much. The woodcock numbers vary wildly from year to year, but it is nothing phenomenal. Grouse can be found up in North Georgia, but they are also very rare. Georgia is managed for Deer and Turkey, with most everything else recieving little attention. If upland hunting is a heavy consideration for your move, I wouldn't even have Georgia on the list.
