Full description and what we offer
South Fork Hunting Preserve operates a premier hunting facility spanning 400+ acres in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains near Royston, just 7 minutes off I-85. Since 2013, they've been running guided and unguided hunts for serious bird hunters within an hour of both Atlanta and Greenville, South Carolina.
The preserve focuses on three primary upland game birds:
| Hunt Type | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Day Hunt | $1,500 - $4,000 |
| Half Day Hunt | $750 - $1,000 |
| Pheasant Tower Shoots | $250 - $300 |
| Gift Cards | $750 - $2,000 |
Hunters can bring their own dogs or book a guided hunt with one of their seasoned guides. Unguided options are also available for experienced hunters.
Bird cleaning included. After your hunt, their bird cleaners quickly process your harvest while you relax around the firepit and swap stories with other hunters.
The 3-story lodge features a crow's nest overlooking the Appalachian foothills with views of stunning sunsets. Overnight lodging is available for multi-day hunts. This isn't just a day-trip operation—South Fork caters to hunters who want the full experience.
Continental tower shoots run monthly, offering both experienced and novice wing shooters a structured shooting event. At $250-$300, these serve as a great introduction to competitive wing shooting or a way to sharpen skills during the off-season.
Beyond individual hunts, South Fork hosts corporate hunting events and group outings. The combination of lodging, professional guides, and structured hunts makes it a destination for team events and hunting parties.
Open 7 days a week from October 1 through March 31—the full Georgia hunting season. Located in Franklin County with direct I-85 access, they're positioned as a destination for hunters across the Southeast.
