Will a 16 y/o be tried as an adult in this felony case? Georgia?

16y/o boy was charged with hunting on public road, hunting at night and hunting large game. He had a hunting license. He was arrested but bailed out. He was driving down the road shining deer, shooting at them from the road, at around 1am. Georgia.

Update:

Also just fyi I'd like him to be tried as an adult so be as honest as possible. He's an idiot who doesn't need to have a gun, or a car. If this doesn't do him in he's gonna do something really bad later.

    A 16 year old can be tried as an adult for ANY felony in ANY state.

    Hunting at night, First offense is a misdemeanor. (27-3-48. Hunting deer at night)

    Hunting from a public road is also a misdemeanor. (27-3-10. Hunting upon or discharging weapons across a public road)

    Sorry...probably a $1000 fine, court costs and a two year suspension of hunting privileges.
