WON Quota hunt, NOW WHAT?!

[benjo1993]

I got am email today that I was selected for one of the dove hunts on the Clark's Hill WMA in September. The email just told me that I was selected and the date of the hunt. Didn't tell me where to be and what time. Is there going to be a follow-up email coming later, or am I on my own and just go hunt out there in one of the dove fields anytime during that day?

Opening day starts at noon. Allowed to pick your stand by 10 I believe...consult regs to be sure.
There should be signs stating which field/fields to hunt.
At least that’s how’s its done down here in God’s country. Atlanta may do it different.

Just show up. They may check you they may not, They didn't when I went. They will let you know what fields are open at the check station. Shooting starts at 12 and as said you can pick your spot around 10.. That will be listed at the check station.
I was chosen for Clybel years ago, tons of people and HOT!!!!
I will wait for later hunts. Good Luck it is fun!
