UPDATE 07/12/2017: Effective the first of July, there have been changes to the fee structure:
- GORP has been replaced with a “Lands Pass”. This is $30 per year for an individual resident of Georgia, $60 for a non-resident.
- There is no longer a small group pass. Each eligible party must have their own pass.
- While those under the age of 16 do not need a pass, folks over 65 are no longer free. They must have a pass/license.
- If you’re over 65 and a resident of Georgia, it is more cost-effective to get a Senior Sportsman’s License than a Lands Pass, since there is no senior discount for a Lands Pass. Get this: A 1-yr Sr. Sportsman’s License costs $7. Or if you were born on or before June 30, 1952 and are a Georgia resident you can get a Lifetime Sportsman’s License for free for a lifetime, and it will let you fish, and if you take a hunting safety course ($28) hunt.

While I was a couple of months late for fresh leaves, it was still a trip of discovery – I discovered that the Crockford-Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area is now a fee area.
