Altama Plantation WMA — Attraction in Georgia

Drew a quota hunt here and drove across the State for it. Wish I didn't. First off the acreage of huntable land is not as advertised. There's a HUGE "safety zone" in the middle of prime land. All the smart deer head there at the first sign of vehicle traffic.
