I have recently relocated to Atlanta for work. Does anyone from the area have recommendations on good public deer hunting areas in Georgia withing decent driving distance of Atlanta. I will be looking to join a club next year, I just don't have the extra cash at the moment.

good luck, you are going to probably drive quite a bit to get there. Where are you in Atl, what are you hunting?

That is tough. The Atlanta Metro area is so big and populated that you have to drive a good distance. I live in Columbus, I believe there is WMA land around Standing Boy Creek, but I believe they have some gun restrictions. I would have to ask my brother. He has huntes it. It is in Harris County. It is a 2 hour drive for you (my office is in Alpharetta). I don't know much about the WMA due to hunting private land in Harris and Taylor counties and my brother no longer hunts it due to having sizable leased lands in Alabama by his house on Lake Harding. Good luck finding a place.

I will ask some of my buddies in N GA if they know of any places.

Good luck. I've looked for places to hunt Ducks near Atlanta and decided that I will drive back to LA to get my hunting fix. Sorry I've been no help.
