Hey guys, I am from Anderson, SC and am very active on the scoutdoornews forum and have watched the gaoutdoornewsforum for years, just never became a member and posted. Always lots of good info on here. Anyways, long story short I'm about graduate college and will be looking at getting a job soon. I'm an education major and Georgia has overall better school districts, salary, retirement, etc than SC so I am looking at schools in GA. Part of the reason (and the less important, superficial reasons) why I am an education major is so I can have a lot of time off to hunt and fish and because I can live out in the most rural county I want, since every county has to have a school district so I will always have a job, no matter where I live. If you guys could live in any county in GA to hunt, (specifically hogs, but everything) where would it be? What would the general area be in Georgia? Southeast Georgia has way better schools (I've heard) than southwest Georgia, but is the hunting as good? Around the waycross/baxely/Douglas area, are there a lot of hogs? I'm up near hartwell now and they have great school district, but I have heard the hunting isn't very good. If I bought a decent amount, say 50 acres, next to a river system in southeast GA, is it pretty much guaranteed that I'll have a good bit of hogs on and around the property? I always enjoy being in God's outdoors and hunting in general, but I've always loved hog hunting specifically, especially since it's year round and I love BBQ. What counties or area of GA would you guys choose to live to hunt if you could live anywhere? Appreciate any info and help. I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect before I start applying to school districts, especially since I've never been to south GA (I will be visiting the waycross area soon though to look at schools before I apply)
