Not too early to think fall hunting
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hunters get to scratch their itch for the upcoming season with the help of the Georgia Wildlife Federation, which has scheduled its popular Buckarama trade shows (Thursday-Sunday in Atlanta and Aug. 15-17 in Perry) in the next few weeks.
The Atlanta show begins at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Atlanta Expo Center on Jonesboro Road (take exit 55 off I-285).
The four-day show offers the latest in gear, advice from experts and a deer-mount competition that showcases some of the biggest bucks taken in Georgia and the Southeast.
“It’s the greatest show in this part of the country,” said show organizer Doug Rithmire. “If you want something about camping, hunting, fishing, it’s here this weekend.”
Admission this week is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors 65 and over and free to kids 12 and under. Show times: Today, 1-8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For information and a $1 off coupon go to gwf.org.
So, are you ready for the fall hunt?
