Realtree Kids Scrapbook: June 2025

Without You, We’re Toast…

At the high rate of speed this planet is traveling, there is no telling what GON will look like a decade from now. Will GON be delivered through the air waves and show up in your living room as a holographic projection? I wouldn’t laugh too long. Been to the airport lately and seen that…

Youth Shoot-Out Winner Cashes In On Grand Prizes

Even if there was such a thing as a cookie-cutter whitetail hunt, it likely wouldn’t be a whole lot of fun. But they’re nearly always different, each its own. And sometimes, you just gotta take a break to make things work out. Ask John Kilpatrick, of Thomaston. Setbacks seem to crouch in the shadows for…

Outdoor Blast Attractions Hit All-Time Record High

It’s all subjective, I guess, but it does feel like there’s more to talk about for this year’s Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast than there ever has been since me and the others from GON created this show in 2007 for a place to have our Shoot-Out. From dunking booths and backyard cooking competitions to half the…

Alapaha River At Highway 135

Over the years, I’ve been blessed to work on what now totals to be hundreds of news stories, fishing reports, feature articles, and the like for GON. Sharing the outdoors with others has always been my passion, and I try my best to bring that energy to life through the words that I type. That’s…

Kids Outdoor Zone

It was a glorious morning for my introduction with the crowd from Kids Outdoor Zone (KOZ) ministries. There were about 15 boys in the crowd—which I’m told was a little lower than normal.

How The Weeks Were Won: Bucks That Earned 2025 Shoot-Out Spots

For more than three and half decades, a group of Georgia hunters killed a buck that garnered membership into an elite club. The latest members of that group—GON subscribers who killed a big buck through luck, dedication, woodsmanship or a combination of all—will take the stage at the Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast July 27 to compete…

This past Saturday, May 17, the 2025 Keeping Georgia Wild festival was held at DNR’s Charlie Elliot Wildlife Center in Mansfield. This event was a family-fun day focusing on general conservation, Georgia wildlife and various outdoor recreational activities. Kids were given the opportunity to try their hand at fishing, archery, harnessed tree climbing and shooting…

Southeast Georgia Fishing Reports With Capt. Bert Deener – May 23, 2025

It got hot in the afternoons this past week, but the water temperature most places in freshwater is in the upper 70s to around 80. That’s in the range where the fish usually put on the feed bag. There were lots of good reports this week, and you have lots of options for the holiday…
