Colored pins will be assigned to every hunter, and every hunter WILL attach their pin to the spot where they will be hunting before they hunt and removed after they hunt. All other safety rules are in the Georgia Hunting Rules and Regulations Handbook at www.georgiawildlife.com.
Camp Rules
There will be Camp Rules posted at the Bunkhouse, and the rules will be enforced to EACH and EVERY hunter or visitor who is in camp. The main few rules are to keep the camp clean at ALL times, ALWAYS take your trash to the dump before leaving the camp, help empty ALL of the trash cans, clean up after yourself after you use the skinning rack which includes disposing of hides and guts to the designated dump area and wash down floor, equipment, and tools.
**NOTE**
Thank you for taking the time to read and abide by these rules and regulations. I, Benny Leonard, ask that you use common sense this season for whatever you do, and that every member has a Great and Safe season.
"Have Fun"
Thanks,
Benny "Hunt" Leonard
