Jones County produced this big 8-point buck for Chris Watson, of Gray. Chris got the deer on Sept. 18 during archery season last year.

Drew Bell, of Elberton, with a buck he killed during the 2018 season in Elbert County.

A lot of white and a huge rack on this piebald buck! Walker Jenkins said this buck was 6 to 7 years old based on trail-cam photos, and last Oct. 14 was the first time the deer was seen in person.

Loran Crabtree with a couple of the bass caught in May while fishing a hot-snakes colored Ned rig on Lanier.

Riley Miller, 12, was fishing with her dad Jamie during the Memorial Day weekend at their property in Gordon County when they caught this 42-lb. blue cat in the Coosawattee River. The huge catfish measured 44 inches long and had a girth that measured 29 inches around.

Jeremy Judy sent the above pictures and the following account: “On Nov. 7 I got up and headed to our lease in Walton County. My dad went to his normal blind, and I decided to hunt an area with a climber to see an adjacent ridge. At 6:35 a doe came in with this buck in tow (above picture). It took 10 minutes to figure out what deer it was and to get a shot. Luckily she hung around eating acorns while he grunted and growled at her. I dropped him in his tracks at 6:47 a.m. My Dad immediately came over to help me. Later that day my son went with my dad to his spot while I took my son’s best friend to try to get him his first deer. My son Tallyn (below picture) filled his buck tag with his first 8-pointer. He came in chasing a doe around 4:30. My dad had killed his biggest deer to date (bottom picture) in the same blind a few weeks earlier.”
