Hunting
When Josh Bray, of Cumming, headed to the Forsyth County woods with his youngest son, Judah, 6, on the afternoon of Nov. 13 he had no idea of the events that would soon unfold. “Judah is my youngest of five children, and he’s always trying to keep up with his siblings. He was bound and…

My Dad would take me with him when I was still in diapers. We have always hunted in Jackson County. After my first spike, each year afterwards,…
GON’s team of Hunt Advisors is spread out across the state. That’s pretty important when you consider Georgia’s widely varying rut. Depending on what part of the state you’re hunting, you could be experiencing anything from the post-rut doldrums to pre-rut cruising. Not to mention the secondary rut… Fingers are always crossed for that bonus…
Have you seen this Pike County buck? We recently got a call from the hunter who shot him in November 1984. The gentleman’s name is Randy Cook, and he’d simply like to have his buck back if it’s floating around out there somewhere. GON published an article in September 1994 called “Georgia’s Stolen Boone &…

Creating live creatures in a laboratory may seem like a dastardly scheme out of some B horror movie, but it’s a process that many Georgia fishermen live for. For many of those fishermen, the lineage of their biggest fish ever can’t be traced back to Mother Nature.Those fish got their beginnings in WRD Fisheries hatching…
I don’t think of cars when I see one. I don’t think of engines. I don’t think of anything to do with land. To this day, over 30 years later, I still see water when I look at a quart oil jug. I see the stained brown water of Lake Oconee. I see the 12-foot…
If you love to head to the woods this time of year to pursue white-tailed deer, Capt. Lee Pitts is right there with you. However, if you want to take a break from the deer stand and catch crappie on Weiss or Neely Henry reservoirs, Pitts is your man. “If you want to catch crappie…

It was moving day at Glacier National Park and I’d just claimed my first-come, first-served campsite at Many Glacier campground just outside of Babb, Montana. It’s a challenging morning when you are at GNP trying to get a campsite. I’ll get to my hike in a minute, but this is part of the story….
Fourteen-year-old Caden Cawthon set his bowhunting bar pretty high with his first deer even taken with his bow. Caden, from Martin, had seen six does feeding on acorns the evening of Oct. 20 when he heard another deer coming through a thicket. A 9-point came through an opening feeding slowly on the acorns, and Caden…
Jeffrey Autrey and his associates leased a new patch of hunting land along the Altamaha River in Tattnall County this year and put out some game cameras to electronically scout the area.
