Well, ok. I guess nobody hunts in England. Anyway...
Here in S.W. Georgia whitetail deer is the big game of choice, although we also have wild boar, or feral hogs, some of which can get huge. Some guy in a nearby town got one a few years ago that weighed over 1000 lbs. We have wild turkey, as well as ducks, mostly wood ducks, some mallards and geese. Dove season is big down here, as well as bobwhite quail. Only thing is, most of the quail are now hunted on game preserves, a rich man's sport. They're around, but have been really decimated by farming practices, as well as spraying herbicides and pesticides, which kill the eggs that the quail hide in hedgerows usually along the roadside where the herbicides are sprayed.
Of course we have cottontail rabbits and grey squirrels for small game. We also have fox squirrels in the many pine woods. Fox squirrels are quite larger than greys, and have several striking color combinations, as well as albinos.
Hunting is popular down here, but I truthfully can't always get used to it, being from the north. It's too hot down here..in deer season during the fall and winter, you usually start out with heavyish clothing in the early morning, only to be sweating by 11. If you kill a deer, and have a way to go back home, you usually have to skin and quarter it on site, so you can pack it into coolers to get it back home without spoiling. (Back in New Jersey I would kill a deer and just gut it and bring it home to hang in the garage for a week to bleed out and age before I'd take it to be butchered).
I can't remember offhand if it's legal, but once in a while somebody will take a gator. It's good eating, you can even buy frozen alligator meat at some stores. Hell, a couple of years ago a guy found one in the ditch right in front of my house! An 8 footer. Scared the crap out of the guy, he was just picking up bottles and leaned down to see the thing looking at him.:lol:
