I wouldn't mind trying out some form of hunting. I'm working on the hunter certification thing now. By the way, what's the mag cap in GA for hunting?

Hope this will answer any questions on weapons for the 2007 season.
Bye the way it looks like you have to be born before 1961 in order not to take the hunters safety course. I would recommend it any way.
