Take time to enjoy nature. This area of Georgia showcases a vast population of wildlife. We saw pigs, alligators, a timber rattler, a cotton mouth, several species of birds, fish, raccoons, deer, and a coyote. It is the path you walk that is most important. Time spent and memories made with good friends. As Matt says: "you better make time to do these hunts now or you never will".

Unfortunately the audio while recording in the field was not to the standards of Inside Twenty, going forward changes will be made to prevent this in future episodes.
