Reading a gobbler’s mood and following it up with the right call can be a deadly combination this spring. The importance of this lesson was taught to me on opening day quite a few years ago in Hancock County. My good friend Cal Marsh and I had struck out on opening morning. Right before lunch…
April may be the best month of the year to pull in a limit of Lake Blackshear bass, says fishing expert Sam Moody of Leesburg. Warming temperatures pull the bass out of the deeper ledges and channels, then moves them into the more shallow coves around the cypress trees, and Sam targets them with soft…
As a landowner or a land manager, you are probably familiar with some of the various government programs that offer cost-share incentives for soil, habitat and wildlife conservation practices that you implement.

If a GON subscriber doesn’t know that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is our No. 1 anti-hunting enemy, then they’re getting the magazine just for the pictures. They sure aren’t reading the thing. The “Eye on the Antis” column has been a part of GON since 1991. That’s 13 years of trying…

In March when the crappie are on the move, coming up from deep structure out on the main lake and moving into the creeks ahead of the spawn,…
“I want to reschedule,” Rob Boswell said. Being a fisherman myself, I felt his pain. It’s tough enough to go out and catch fish with the pressure of a magazine interview under ideal conditions. The conditions we faced made this proposition nearly impossible. Despite that, Rob was able to find fish and we caught a limit.…
