Hunting
I have been trying to get my daughter Sabrina a deer for quite a while now. Sabrina is now 16 years old. She has been fishing and hunting with me since she was a toddler. I remember when I was stationed at Fort Knox, Ken., strapping her into a car seat in the Jeep and…
The north Georgia mountains are more likely to be equated with trout fishing than gigantic largemouths, but the cold, clear waters have created some California-style bass fishing on the 53-acre Unicoi Lake at Unicoi State Park, and a pair of Cleveland buddies has figured out how to catch them. On Oct. 22, Levi Garrett landed…
If a group of saltwater anglers and guides has its way, the red drum — Georgia’s state saltwater fish — will soon have the distinction of being the state’s first saltwater game fish. Mike Duckworth of Brunswick, along with well-known light-tackle guides, Capt. Greg Hildreth of Brunswick and Capt. Scott Wagner of Savannah, are spearheading…

What do these varied presentations have in common? They are all methods I have used to…
A cold front blew through the mountain forest, rippling the saplings in the old hardwood clearcut and shearing the last of summer’s leaves from the trees. On the other side of the ridge, just out of sight, Buck searched the wind for scents, his collar bell jingling closer as he nosed sticky blackberry thickets and…
Fishing on Carters Lake in the wintertime can be summed up into one word — cold. However, those who brave it can reap hot striper and hybrid action as a result of being on the water this month. It may be freezing outside, but “the lake is absolutely on fire,” said Carters Lake striper guide…
Don Edwards could not believe his eyes as he sat latched to a tree in Area 6 at Ocmulgee WMA, which is located in Bleckley, Pulaski and Twiggs counties. It was Wednesday, Nov. 26, and he had just seen a spike buck and let it go by. But a couple of seconds later, he looked…
