Hunting
Allen Rudolph of Eatonton eats, breaths and lives for deer hunting. Since moving to Georgia in 1998, he’s spent countless hours on Cedar Creek WMA and the Oconee National Forest. On Friday, Nov. 9, all that hard scouting and hunting effort was rewarded with a 140-class bruiser buck from Cedar Creek WMA. “Somebody kills a 140-class…
Doug Carter of Nichols sent GON this photo of a deer with extremely long hooves. He said he killed the deer during archery season 2006 in Ware County. When he killed the deer he didn’t notice anything unusual about how the deer was walking on the turned-up hooves. “The deer came up behind me and…
On Oct. 13, 2007, three generations of Davis hunters, grandfather Roy, his son Mike, and Mike’s son Dakota, each shot a buck with a muzzleloader on a hunting club in Polk County.

Because of the persistent drought, fishermen across the state have been watching in frustration for months as the boat ramps they use to access their local reservoirs have dried up one by one. Lack of access has closed Carters Lake ramps to boats all together, and a handful of smaller reservoirs are inaccessible, as well.…
By this time of year, the lakes are getting cold, and bass are not feeding as well as they did earlier in the fall. Colder water means they are less active and more likely to be holding in deep- er water. However, a few warm winter days can turn the bass on, and you can…
The Altamaha River is at record lows, with rarely seen sandbars and rockpiles popping up along its length. There are two primary ways to navigate the river during such low water.
