Question for you guys that live in Georgia : Whats the population of Grouse and Squirrels like on the WMA. I might get hungry while I'm down there! I plan on camping there for a week and am wondering how the chances are of a Grouse or Squirrel dinner.

ChrisM · January 24, 2013, 10:42:00 AM

Grouse?

Blaino · January 24, 2013, 11:02:00 AM

I don't live in GA but am fairly confident in saying that you won't find any Grouse in the south GA swamps.... Might be some in the mountains (?) Squirrels should be plentiful and you might (I doubt it though) find a covey of Quail.

ChrisM · January 24, 2013, 02:40:00 PM

Dang I sure was hopping. I have always wanted to get after some of them.

rastaman · January 24, 2013, 02:57:00 PM

Blaino is right....no grouse.

Jerry Russell · January 24, 2013, 06:58:00 PM

Lots of squirrels to shoot at but the grouse are only in the mountains. If you get real hungry there is an armadillo behind every bush.

bicster · January 24, 2013, 08:44:00 PM

Are thermocells or snake boots recommended? What other gear would you think might be needed?

ChrisM · January 24, 2013, 08:48:00 PM

I figure thermocells for sure.

tradlongbow · January 25, 2013, 02:05:00 AM

I use the bayou boots, the weather should be cold enough that you won't need the thermocell.

I hope everyone brings a compass or GPS, don't want to lose anyone.

That's when we get together for next year's hunt in the Rockies. Maybe different time of year though.

Knawbone · January 25, 2013, 06:09:00 PM

Grouse? Hey, what do I know I'm from NY! Read Georgia has grouse, but am not familiar with its ecosystems. Tree Rat dinner it is.

tradlongbow · January 25, 2013, 06:23:00 PM

I bet we can get a whole bunch of squirrels.

moleman · January 25, 2013, 08:27:00 PM

Chasing tree rats is about as much fun as a feller can have legally! Since i kind of anticipated that, i went ahead and finished out some of my shafts with Game Nabber heads.... Bring on the bushy tails!

canopyboy · January 25, 2013, 09:32:00 PM

Just to clarify, tree rats are still in season in GA? In VA, the season closes end of january. I'd love to get a couple more this season.

tradlongbow · January 26, 2013, 09:18:00 AM

canopyboy-

When we go hog hunting in Ga, it will be small game season.

Knawbone · January 26, 2013, 10:19:00 AM

I make a mean squirrel stew, may have to make up a big pot of it for everyone to enjoy! Here little nut muncher.
