That's a hard task in georgia. Easier on private land though. The one I shot last year was 3.5. I would have bet my paycheck he was 5.5 when I saw him coming up. I don't regret it though. You pass up a big buck on public land and someone else will pull the trigger on him.
Have you looked at clearance jobs or USA jobs? That TS will get you a job for a contractor or the gubment. Might have to commute a bit from where you are.
