| If it's in Georgia, it's poison ivy most likely. The leaves can be quite variable - with highly scalloped edges or just minor indentations. That said, poison oak is an upright shrub form whereas poison ivy is more a vine (but can be upright too). That is to say, you can't really tell just from looking at the leaves. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Toxicodendron pubescens

| Out here poison oak grows both as a stubby shrub and one making long vining growths up trees. |
