best to know what the laws are BEFORE you get into this kind of situation!

[bobber_2]

That was my thoughts at first Russ till no one can produce any general regulation governing the WMAs here in Georgia.

[geno]

This just plain out SUX!

[CalGoldDredger]

Yep sounds like a problem. Good Luck!

[russau]

theres got to be something in writting on this...................if not, it sounds like it could be beat in court if the judge dont sway that way!!!!

Georgia DNR manages the WMAs soooo I sent them an email asking for a copy of the general regs -- we'll see.

Thank you for getting back to me so promptly Mr. xxxx. I was looking for regulation on activities other then hunting and fishing. Activities like horseback riding, ATV riding, gold panning, mountain bike riding etc.

Thanks

xxxxx,

Those are the only regulations we publish. Other recreational activities are covered on page 26. ATVs are addressed on page 28 under vehicles. For any information not covered, please contact the game management office that administers the WMA you are interested in visiting. Those contact numbers are on page 4. Individual WMA listings begin on page 35.
