This is not true. Last year on Chattahoochee I saw some relatively new tractors in great shape. Not 200k tractors, but nice ones for sure.
i'm pretty sure them big kabotas aint cheap.
i dont know how much they are, was just trying to make a point of they aint going to let someone out of the blue jump on one and take off. you want to volunteer, contact Mr. Sellers im sure he will help you get in touch with the right people.They ain’t $200K. I’ve owned a “big Kubota” or two. I know.
If you put in for a hunt with 4 points and another guy puts in for the same hunt with 1 point. He is not going to be drawn ahead of you.No what I am saying is there have been times when you have 4 points an still don’t get drawn an then a guy with one point gets pick an doesn’t show up. I am say do just like they do it at the Piedmont hunt on the Piedmont national refuge. And still won’t be crowded because some people just aren’t gonna pay a little $15 fee or whatever. Just make to wear a guy doesn’t have to wait 2 to 3 years to get picked.

I agree my group did not get picked this year and we always have a blast...there will surely only be about 50 percent participation and we don't get to goThe quota system we have in Georgia is terrible. I don’t understand why the state doesn’t say if you get pick there is a fee for your spot an for the ones who choose not to pay,there spot comes open for the same fee. I mean think about this the money they will receive can go right back into the places we want to hunt for things like food plots,help with the roads..etc. I have been on several quota hunts an it always seems that the number of people who get pick are not the same number of people who actually show up. Take B.F Grant for instance all the times I have been there the numbers never match. Gator hunting is the same way we have zones that don’t have hardly any public water. Like for Instant zone four terrible zone to hunt. Plus not to mention I think the license fee is a bit much I mean it’s more then a sportsman license.sorry for the long post but has been on my mind for a while
Why do some of y’all get so spun up when someone doesn’t show up for a quota hunt?
This doesn't bother me at all. It's life. Things pop up. What gripes me is, "Congratulations! You've been chosen for B.F. Grant 1st hunt. Have Fun!" No guidance whatsoever and then DNR is there to write tickets. You didn't check in, you can't scout yet, you can't hunt here, this bucks main beam is only 15 1/2", blah blah blah. where are the rules and regulations for these quota hunts??? Please help. I'm asking. I'm happy to follow rules but dang GA makes it hard.

Right where under WMA regulations?? General WMA regulations lists unlawful activities. B.F. Grant lists dates and antler restrictions. Nowhere does it tell participants where to check in, what to do with a harvested animal, what areas are OK to hunt and what areas are off limits. Anyone who's hunted in the state of Georgia knows the general rules and regulations for public and private lands. Quota hunts (other than the State Park hunts) are unorganized.
Because it's the same for all WMAs, either online or the check station. That's on the same page under "Hunting Opportunities" then "Public Hunting Opportunities". Where you can and can't hunt is on the WMA maps which are also linked on that page.
I'm not sure why you think quota hunts are unorganized, a quota hunt is no different than any other hunt except that there's a limit on the number of hunters.
The regulations book has all the information that applies to all WMAs in the pages before the individual WMA regulations, so it's pretty straightforward. I'll agree that the online version is not as intuitive. If you can't find something, just call the office and ask.
