Hunting and Fishing

Hunting

Hunting is one of the main sports of the area, for good reason. Deer, rabbit, dove, and turkey abound. Hunting clubs and individuals are always looking for another sports-minded enthusiast. McKenna Ranch, located in Pachuta, is an outfitter for white tail deer, Russian Boar, and wild turkey. Some might say that Clarke County offers some of the best hunting in the South.
