I photographed the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn for the Lilburn Patch on Wednesday June 30, 2011. The game ranch has a multitude of different animals, from bears to mountain lions and racoons to geese, that are native to Georgia and allows visitors to catch an up close and personal view of them. These are my favorite images of the game ranch.
