Mr. Moon,
The Georgia Federation chose to begin moving the State Hunt around each year on a rotation basis, just for the reasons you are stating here. Weheard the to far to drive pleas, from all over the state. Last year was the first year of the new rotation schedule. The State is split into 4 quarters, with the Interstate 20 and 75 intersect being the dividing line. This year it was moved down south way, to the Southeast section, moving to the Southwest next, then back up to Northwest in 2012. This rotation will most likely continue, in an effert to give every hunter in the state a chance to hunt in the State's Premier event, and theorectically not have to drive so far. It also moves the host clubs around to give them all a shot at hosting a larger event. We know fully that it will be a long drive for hunters from area, but when it does rotate your way, the drive will be long for the south too. As far as driving two hours to hunt once you get here, i don't think that will happen. We are working hard to get all the guides we can gather, with good hunting ground, and there is some good one, that are fairly close. I would venture to say 60 minutes would be the max that anyone would drive, and most in the 15-45 minute range.
As a board of director, i thank you for your comments, and if we can help you with any issues you may have, please call.
