We even have a conference center where we can hold painting classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being the Gresham\u2019s cattle farm and Georgia retreat, Live Oak Plantation is a venue for corporate meetings and family events. They also offer overnight and day packages for quail, deer, and turkey hunting while in season, and fishing and golfing year-round.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1357\" style=\"width: 484px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1357\" data-attachment-id=\"1357\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sgamag.com\/index.php\/2018\/05\/26\/live-oak-plantation-a-welcoming-corporate-retreat\/jim-and-gail-copy-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?fit=5184%2C3456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"5184,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1519022674&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;27&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Jim and Gail copy-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1357\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2-1024x683.jpg?resize=474%2C316\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?w=2340&amp;ssl=1 2340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Jim-and-Gail-copy-2.jpg?w=3510&amp;ssl=1 3510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Jim and Gail Gresham, owners of Live Oak Plantation<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cQuail is our biggest draw and then deer hunting,\u201d Jim said. \u201cFishing is catch and release, and a professional guide is provided.
