Not sure if I can put this here, but if I'm not supposed to, someone let me know.

Was supposed to be out opening day with a guy from work. Turns out Thursday his whole group lost their deer lease because of the actions of one man, so he's spending this weekend pulling his camp and gear. I didn't have anything out there, and he said he didn't need any help, so I'm just out of luck over there.

I grew up hunting family land that has since been parted out and sold by other family; never had to go anywhere else to hunt, so no experience with the process of finding public land.

This was supposed to be my first time back in the woods since my wreck, so I'm kind of in limbo.

I don't use a tree stand, just hunt on the ground, and I'd like to use my old single shot .30-30 or shotgun.

Anybody who knows of land I can hunt within about 20 miles from Douglasville/Lithia Springs, I'd appreciate a PM about it. I don't have a problem going further out, but I don't know how well my 99 ranger with almost 300,000 miles would do going much further than that.

Doesn't have to be deer, either. At this point I'd be happy going for hogs, squirrels, anything in season. I've never bird hunted, but I wouldn't be opposed to it. It's just been too long, and my wreck happened just as the family drama was calming down, so it's been about 4 years since I've gone out hunting, and I'm itching to get back out and do some.

I appreciate any information anyone can give. Thank you all.
 
Paulding Forest WMA would be the closest WMA for you. I’d also consider doing some door knocking in your area, you may end up finding a place that way.
Below are the seasons and dates for Paulding Forest.

I was just looking at that. Am I reading it right that the only dates for firearms deer hunting is a bonus hunt October 12th-13th, and another bonus hunt November 7th-10th plus the dates in December?

I looked at the page and saw nothing about small game or other dates for deer.

The Oct 12-13 hunt is reserved as a specialty hunt. Details in the link, scroll towards the bottom of the page once you open.

The Nov hunt is a bonus tag hunt. They tag the deer and they don’t count towards your harvest record.

The December hunt you will have to use your tags on the deer.

Those and the archery dates shown on the page are it for deer.

That all kinda figures. I already took this week off for vacation.

Thank you.
