Last night I was informed that Pine Log WMA had been sold! I knew that it was for sale but honestly I had thought with the amount of land and price that it wouldn't sale but......Here we are on the cusp of loosing another great public property track. While I get it Aubrey Corp. isn't a 501c3 and desires to make a profit. The profit from a sale especially in today's prices is much greater than a state lease agreement. It is still a heavy blow to us guys and gals local to Pine Log. Roughly 15,000 acres of beautiful rolling hills and even a few I would argue as mountains. While there were/are only a couple scheduled deer/bear hunts per season there is plenty to do there for the outdoorsman. I love going there squirrel hunting and looking for hogs. Fun fact I believe the Ga state record black bear was harvested from Pine Log.
Apparently there will be approximately 16,000 houses and some heavy industrial occupying the beautiful property. There is a point to all of this and it isn't to grumble, although it seems I did do a great job of that as well, does anyone know if Pine Log will still be huntable next season? Will there be any public land left there? I couldn't remember the gentlemen's name who is on the forum that had a huge knowledge and works for the state I believe. If someone could tag him that would be awesome.
