Fishing
Aaron Jenkins calls Canton, N.C. home now, but his heart will forever be in east Georgia. He makes the three-hour trip home to crappie fish with his dad, Keith, whenever he can.

Crappie and bass are shallow thinking about their spring spawning ritual. Give it a try! Satilla River: Wayne Johns has been running…
Since my very first trip, Rutland Farms has always felt like home to me. Ever since my first visit back in the spring of 2017 while working on a GON story, I keep finding myself going back, and every trip seems a little more enjoyable than the one before. I wish I could tell you…
Deer season has come and gone. Bradley Carpenter had a typical season harvesting a couple of does and one nice 3.5-year-old 8-pointer, all on public land in north Georgia. It was a mild Saturday morning in the middle of February, and Bradley was out walking on Lake Russell WMA. He was there before daylight, listening…
It had been a half hour since my last call. I had no idea if the bird was even still in the neighborhood or not. He hadn’t given me any reason to believe he was, and when he had last gobbled, he was still in the same vicinity as he had been when he first…
