Georgia needs these.
Looking good. Those G4's still look balled up on the ends-he's still putting on inches.
DNR introduced genetics from several Northern states, if I remember right back in the 60's
They did.
Yes Sir!
History of Deer Restocking in Georgia
Posted on November 17, 2012
By the early 1900’s, white-tailed deer were almost extirpated from Georgia. Year-round hunting with dogs and night hunting by torchlight contributed to the deer population decimation. Significant restocking efforts began in Georgia in 1928 and ended in 1992. Deer were brought into the state from North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, Montana, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Michigan, and possibly even Europe. As populations rebounded in some areas of the state, intrastate restocking took place. The last deer brought to Pickens County came from Paulding County and Berry College, in 1990. By 2004, the estimated deer population in Georgia had reached 1,000,000. This is especially interesting considering the following quote from the Georgia DNR WRD Assistant Chief of Game Management in March 2011: “…the success rate of relocation is very slim. In fact, experiments with live capture and relocation have led to high initial mortality (up to 85%) in relocated deer.”

Maybe a dumb question here, but wouldn't it be cheaper to go to a resort ranch for a few days and shoot one or two that someone else has fattened up. Getting your meals cooked for you and having your drinks served in glasses would probably be within the budget too 
.
If you want they would probably take care of the butchering and ship the meat to your home for you as well. Beats the heck out of lugging feed around yourself 24/7 unless you really enjoy doing the hard work of course
