“A lot of the other states have closed their boat ramps down and state parks and we never did. We kept those open. We had a lot of people coming to fish and hunt in Georgia, which was just great for our small businesses. And obviously, you know, our bait, tackle. Obviously, on the firearms industry side of things and, you know, camping gear and other things. Just the whole…hunting and fishing part of it has been huge for our state. Lot of residuals there in the economy.” — Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia
