Agent Remarks:  "Having a total of 1,200 acres high-fenced provides an exceptional wildlife management tool for age structure producing high quality 160 BC whitetails. You would never know you are hunting in a high-fenced-game area. These deer are truly wild Georgia bucks; the current owners, in obtaining trail photos of deer, will routinely view a buck never before photographed or seen. Going into its ninth year, the quality of bucks continue to improve annually. Current owners have owned property for approximately nine years. The quality of the deer and other game has increased substantially over the last couple of years."
