Hard to answer because I have not hunted them in GA. Of course our birds are Easterns, and their habits and characteristics are pretty much all the same.
Where differences come in would be what part of the state are you going to hunt? Methods can be a little different if hunting in some of the real open farm country in the north vs. the heavy timbered areas south of I-70. Also it matters if you are hunting private vs. public ground.
The Missouri Dept. of Conservation is predicting a tough season due to several years in a row of light hatches. I travel most of the state and I can say that I am not seeing as many birds in pastures and fields right now. I also know that I am not seeing as many birds on my farm. With all of that said, the MDC predicted the same thing last year and I had a lot of activity and success. The populations are very dependent on where you are hunting. We got a little spoiled up here for several years where it seemed any place you hunted had tons of birds. It goes in cycles.
Hope you have a great hunt. Not sure how it is in GA but here you can only hunt until 1:00 p.m. If I can give you any tip at all it would be this: Never leave the woods before 1:00 unless you have a bird over your shoulder. Many hunters quit when the birds stop the morning gobbling frenzy. I have killed most of my birds from 10:00 to 1:00. Those late morning hunts can be super, and when you get a bird to respond at that time he is much more likely to be lonely.
I am already having a hard time sleeping thinking about spring turkeys, and it is several weeks away.
