I have no experience in Georgia, but have hunted public land quite a few times in AL and MS. It has always been from around March 15 - March 25 and hearing a lot of gobbling has typically been the exception. From the areas I have hunted, MS has received the most hunting pressure and you can sometimes spend more time hunting a place to hunt away from a crowd than actually hunting. But, with the right spot and timing, the hunting can be great at times. Well worth going for the experience.
