Hey guys, I know seasons are over but we're just getting settled in and I am vowing to find a way to get some hunting done in 2013. We spent 2.5 years in Georgia and I didn't hunt a single day while down there.

I am using the DNR website for information regarding rules & regs. A few questions for any that hunt or can provide some general insight. My questions are around finding somewhere to hunt.


I'm hoping to find some private land via folks at work but I know that's a tough road to go down. Down south we have hunt clubs that lease land and can have anywhere from 5 to 50 members. These clubs tend to be really informal though - up here when I google hunt clubs or leases it seems like everything is a formal, organized club with landscaped clubhouses and stuff like planned pheasant hunts and skeet shooting. I envision a lot of wealthy city folks there with pristine benelli shotguns. Nothing against it, just not my thing. I'm looking for the pickup truck, scratched shotgun crew

Do those types of clubs exist up here? Is there a forum similar to this one for Minnesota outdoors? Georgia Outdoor News Forum - Powered by vBulletin (GON forum - Georgia Outdoors Network)

Also, regarding public land (WMAs'). Down south if you hunt a publc WMA you're taking your life in your hands......over crowded, "if it's brown it's down" crowd.
Are they like that here too?

Thoughts?
