This is true, but you can also add "-e robots=off" and it will ignore the
robots file...

In looking/greping the html they are the only PDFs on the page, so a quick
perl script that wgets the
http://www.georgiaoutdoors.com/hunting/WMAmaps.asp, a quick grep for pdf,
perl parsing, and another wget loop and you get all your files at the
enter of a key, if you wanted to do something really fancy, you could
probably figure out how to do just a HEAD on each file and see if the
size(maybe even the last modified time) of the files are been
update.  If you are not perl savy then let me know and I can probably put
something together quickly if you want...
