Do you need a GA hunting licence for this, or is it not needed since it's on private land?

No licenses but I think some kind of low dollar premitt, at least that is how it was when I went down to hunt. Pappy

Sounds like a lot of fun. If I had an extra $2k and time to spare of which I have neither I'd love to go.
Be more of a bargain if you'd  never built a bow and wanted to try it.

Yea, you need a small game license for the hunt. Out of State is about $35.

Check on the permit because some states will cut you a break and give you a visitor pass

Nope! Georgia is $35. unless you go to the same Hardware store we always do, and nobody knows how to fill one out, then, you don't need one. ;D
