Fishing
The look exchanged by my fishing partner and I was one of surprise, almost shock… a “can you believe that” kind of look. It was late afternoon on a beautiful mid-October day on Lake Russell. What could we possibly have seen that was so surprising? It was another boat, the first and only boat we…
For years, GON has attempted to alert sportsmen to a continued assault on hunting, fishing, and law enforcement within the Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

I’m proud of my beagles. They run their little hearts out, and they allow me to kill plenty of rabbits every year. All-in-all, they run real good. Reality check! On October 15 I covered a Mid-Georgia Beagle Club field trial in Jackson, and I saw some excellent hounds compete in a day full of exciting,…
Blame it on the south Georgia heat and bugs, blame it on how tough bowhunting can be, or, like some of those who attended the hunts, blame it on a simple lack of deer. The first two bowhunts on River Creek, Georgia’s newest WMA, produced zero deer. Both had quotas of 30 — 20 bowhunters…
Editor’s Note: In the October issue this magazine ran an article written by GON Publisher Steve Burch titled, “DNR’s Budget Preference: Close 12 WMAs, Fire Three Wardens, and Hire Three Cooks!” The following is a written response to that article by Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Noel Holcomb.
