Shagbark Hickory, just a total guess?

Sure looks like it. Nuts on the ground?
 
Good guess! There are actually two hickories that are similar - Shagbark and Shellbark. I don't know if both occur in NW Georgia. Shagbark almost certainly does and Shagbark is the more common one. No difference in wood as far as I know - the distinction is just for botanists.
 
Yep shagbark, the criss-cross chain type pattern in lower section of tree bark almost seals it
 
I didn't know to look for nuts on the ground, so I don't know.

It looks like I guessed pretty good, for never seeing a shagbark hickory tree before, except for pics on hearth.com!
