I paid $100 for a seat at South Fork Hunting Reserve in Royston. I was on the wrong part of the field. Shot once and finally left at 5:50pm. Went to a friend field he was cutting in Dewey Rose and got 3 in 30 minutes. My opening day was needless to say a bust but still enjoyed being out.
You can call the WMA 770/535-5700 so far they have answered all questions asked. Yes you can arrive early just no shooting until noon. It is the Amicoala tract.
I was going to ask the same question. I would like to try the Dawson WMA which is non quota field. Shooting starts at noon so I am not sure how early to get there or when you can get set up on a stool etc.
