Tara Montgomery, of Milledgeville, caught this 5-lb. bass at Lake Juliette in January. Tara said, “I am 7 months pregnant and still catching fish! I’m hoping my baby girl will be a fisherwoman like me.”

Amy Roper, of Marble Hill, with her biggest buck yet. The Washington County 8-pointer was chasing hard when Amy shot him on Oct. 23.

Nicholas Hopper captured this great photo after a hunt in Floyd County. “This is ‘River.’ We took advantage of some flood water and nabbed this woody,” said Nicholas.

Tom Smith, of Oakwood, and Aaron Norrell, of Gainesville, put in some coyote-hunting time Oct. 16 late in the evening before opening day of rifle season started for deer. They got this female yote. “She was killed in Jackson County,” Tom said. “Hopefully this will help improve future hunts for local turkey, deer, rabbit and hunters!”

Jimmy Blair, of Douglasville, tagged out on Washington County bucks Nov. 2 and 3. The buck above had four points growing from the base on its left side.

Joey Ellis got this coyote during a deer-dog hunt in Bryan County.

A Zoom Trick Worm on a shaky head tempted this 3 1/2-lb. bass. Loran Crabtree, of Cumming, was fishing a Fulton County lake on Dec. 26.

Good-sized wild hog for Glynn Barnes, of McDonough, who was hunting in Crawford County in November when the pig showed up.

GON subscriber Charles Whitehead (right) and his and grandson Michael Sitton, both from Meriwether County, with three 25-lb. stripers caught at Lake Lanier last May.

Ethan McCurley caught this Franklin County 8-point following two does on Nov. 24.

Rory Foret harvested these two does five minutes apart on Nov. 18 at the West Point archery-only U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land.

Heck of first buck! Brett Bolden, of Forsyth, was bowhunting in Lamar County on Sept. 18, and he made his first-ever buck one for the record books. Brett’s 12-pointer netted 130 4/8 and ranks No. 6 on GON’s Lamar County all-time records for bow-bucks.
