You should be in the clear. Stay away from Atlanta stay far away. Charlotte is the halfway mark for ohio from my area.
I've got a brother and sister who live in Atlanta.... Been there done that.... The wife was offered a job down there.... I told her she'd be single doing that move lol.....

If you move to Charlotte, you'll pay mega bucks to shoot german shepard scrub bucks, hunting is very competitive there and you got to travel hours to find decent hunting. Columbia is a about 4 hours from Charlotte I think, Greenville South Carolina hunting is also awful, either an hour north to hunt or 2 hours south.
I don't have confidence hunting in any state that allows you to hunt deer with dogs. There not freaking rabbits.
You can only hunt with dogs in Eastern NC and Southern SC, I used to do this once a month, I enjoyed it, more about the fellowship than the actual hunt to me.
There's good and bad on both sides of the fence. I'm willing to bet there's a ton of deer that make it back to WV, KY, and PA that never see a tag. I don't think we should ban NR hunters. But I do believe we should limit the lands to a lottery with a percentage going to NR at a higher fee. Exactly how most hunting destination state do it. And I think every penny should go directly back towards the land and species targeted and not into the ODNR operating budget. If hunters spend a half million in lottery draw fees and tags to hunt wildcat hollow, all half a million should go back to benefiting the deer and hunters in wildcat hollow.
cant disagree with the most of what you said,i could see all nr paying the same as res. for lic but at least double for tags, and limit to only one buck and doe, or if a nr wanted to kill more than two deer in the state then after two tags, they would be 4 times the reg price, dont know why anyone wants to travel that distance to just kill a deer,as far as nc goes with a little knocking on doors and getting to know people they would have a good chance to hunt good property, it,s no different than up there as far as finding somewhere to hunt, would like to see a portion of funding go to hiring and training more officers,you guys have an awesome program on wildlife up there,just needs to be more enforced,personally i have hunted for 4 years there and haven;t been checked not once or seen an officer patrolling the area i hunt, even tho i have asked for him to patrol the area once in a while so yes it would be very easy to not tag deer if a person was wired to do that, also speaks of the charicter of an indvidule, right is right and wrong is wrong, thats just the way people are, poaching is stealing, hunting without permission, same thing,
I think if we dicuss music and the price of eggs in China we can retitle this as an all purpose thread.

A guy down the road from me pays a club $2500 a year to have exclusive rabbit hunting rights. For $2500 I better be part owner on that deed.If/when we move, I won't deer hunt down there.... If I drive my happy backside will be back in Ohio......
I'll be a reverse snowbird lol.... Head north for the winter and south for the spring/summer/fall....
Rabbit hunting may be a different story as I've already made a few connections with other rabbit hunters and they seem more open too outsiders lol.... That is if you have a good jump dog lmao.... Which I have lol

I don't think you northern boys understand how prolific leasing is in the south. If it's huntable, it's leased. Hunting clubs that amount to basically trailer parks with hunting land are a dime a dozen. A look through the local paper will show ads for clubs ranging from $80 to $8,000 and some more than that per year. Buckle your shoes because it's starting to happen here too.
Shits so important they'll put it in your obituary.
Max enjoyed hunting and fishing and was a member of the Old Whitaker Hunting Club in Claiborne County Ms. He shared his love of hunting with his friends, children and all five of his grandchildren. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/cl...x-h-watson&pid=161689693#sthash.Kc7w6rYe.dpuf
There are only a few of us that really get it, honestly I don't think clubs would be the worst thing in the world in Ohio, but we have members that talk about trying to buy bordering hunters who have 5 acres and a feeder because they might get one of their deer (thats the definition of southern hunting, buy and eliminate the competitiion). But unless you have actually lived/experience the southern hunting aristocracy type culture its hard to explain. Guys will literally lease a stone parking area just so other deer hunters can't use it to make their lives more difficult. I have seen farmers lease dove fields on a daily rate. I used to have a few serious beagle rabbit hunters drive 4 hours one way to hunt my lease property (we had 24 dogs going at once, it was a blast). Guys will literally live in single wides and spend 3/4 of their incomes on dogs, truck and hunting down there, its just a different culture.I don't think you northern boys understand how prolific leasing is in the south.
