Thanks Hunting Land Special Dear GON, I put an ad in the July issue of GON in the “Hunting Land Special.” My old lease was sold to developers, and they did not want hunters on the property. After leasing the same tract for many years I was left out in the cold. I worded my…
There has been a small earthquake in northwest Georgia that may have a significant impact on deer hunting all over Georgia. The old Inland and Bowater timber lands are now under management by Timberland Investment Resources. They are leaseing the tracts to the highest bidder. This is a new and very unsettling change to Georgia…
Psychiatrists, doctors, fortune tellers and the like will back me up when I tell you that man experiences a series of phases throughout his lifetime. Truth be told, my phases are not apt to be exactly the same as your phases, and they may not even overlap. One thing’s pretty sure: we start and end…
No, you didn’t accidentally pick up a copy of Lake Michigan Angler. Yes, there’s an article in GON about hair jigs. Before you tear out these pages for the whelping box, trust this angler-of-the-south when I tell you there’s something about this old-fashioned lure that flat out catches fish. Around these parts, few anglers are…
Scott Ellis and I had been trying to get together to go on our catfishing trip for a couple of weeks. When I would be able to go, he would be tied up, and vice-versa. My deadline was fast approaching, and I knew we had to set a date and stick to it. I called…

The old buckʼs head snapped to attention, ears and eyes scanning, searching for something that had alarmed it. For an hour the buck had grazed in a hayfield in the middle of night undisturbed. To the buckʼs left, a mile over the treeline, a single-cell summer thunderstorm raged beyond the Ocmulgee River. The thunderhead, black…
Coastal Georgia has never been known as a premier destination for tarpon anglers. Folks know and appreciate the area for speckled trout, redfish, and king mackerel, but places like Boca Grande and the Florida Keys get all the glamour press for the silver king. Yes, these places have earned their reputation, but Iʼll let you…
Folks are getting blown up in London, our young men and women face bullets and bombs every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, and there is a report of crab abuse in California. The horrors in this world must stop. Please send money and please write letters. Civil disobedience may be needed, and if so, your…
Lake Blackshear has a split personality — too far north to be a true south Georgia lake with all shallow water and swampy conditions, but far enough south that cypress trees line the banks and lily pads and hyacinths fill the shallows. Even in the hottest weather you can catch bass in all kinds of…
