The Conservation Community
By Tracy Breen
If you are a serious hunter there is a good possibility that you own hunting land, lease hunting land or dream of doing one or the other. Finding 20, 40 or even 100 acres isn't very difficult, but coming up with the money to purchase it can be tough.
Keeping bucks on small parcels of property can be a challenge. Finding the perfect piece of property that is small yet equipped with all of the requirements for maintaining a nice whitetail herd are slim to none. Deer need good bedding and feeding areas as well as plenty of places to roam.
Most hunters dream of having a large chunk of ground that can be hunted and managed for whitetails. I would like to have at least 1,000 acres - wouldn't that be nice? However, owning that much property requires a lot of cash; something most of us are a little short on.
In addition to being short on cash, most of us are also short on time. I know many hunters who own small tracts of land and have the best intentions to develop those into a prime hunting spot. They dream of planting food plots, having a little tractor to drive around on and hunting over those food plots every chance they get.
Unfortunately, finding the time to manage a piece of property can be time-consuming. Even though they dream of hunting regularly and maintaining the property, many hunters only visit their land a few times a year.
Several years ago, OEI Properties of Georgia decided to eliminate many of the obstacles that prevent avid hunters from hunting a large chunk of property. They bought a large piece of property in Georgia and called it a conservation community.

Harvest Success in 2007-2008. Fifteen mature bucks were harvested during the 2007-2008 deer season. The average weight was 191pounds and averaged more than 8 points. Eleven of the bucks were 3 ½ or older and only four were 2½ (one of these had a broken leg and was "put down" to relieve his pain). Patrick Durfee, lot 15, harvested a super 8 pointer that scores over 150 Boone and Crocket score. Congratulations, Patrick on outwitting this old guy that was at least 5½ years old. No does were harvested as the now 220 acres of food plots supplied more than enough food for all the critters at Ocmulgee Banks!
We also harvested 183 hogs in 2007 which produced over 5 tons of wonderful pork for the freezer. Our hog population is under control and proves to test the stalking ability of our owners. They have gained the respect of all hunters because of their ability to out wit the best of our hunters. They humble the best of us daily!
Required Hunter Ed Course Conveniently Available Online Taking a hunter education class in Georgia is easier than ever, according to the Georgia DNR. Hunters can access an approved hunter education course online at www.beasafehunter.org, use a hunter education CD-Rom or take the traditional classroom course. The Internet and CD-Rom courses satisfy eight of the ten required hours to complete the course. Hunters then must attend a two-hour (minimum) review / test course and if all requirements are met successfully, students receive their hunter education certificate before leaving the classroom.
Completion of a hunter education course is required for any person born on or after January 1, 1961.

Harvest Success in '06/'07 Nine mature bucks were harvested during the 2006-07 deer season. The average weight was 205 pounds!! All the bucks were 3 ½ years old or older except one that was 2 ½. No does were harvested as the 200+ acres of food plots supplied more than enough food for all the critters at Ocmulgee Banks!
In addition, during January 2007 Dr. Woods prescribed that at least 60 hogs be harvested by June 1st. The owners have exceeded his prescription and have harvested more than 150 hogs by September 1, 2007! This managment effort has paid huge dividends to the sucess of the food plots and less competition for the quality native forage at Ocmulgee Banks.
