Do-It-Yourself Bird Dogs For Quail Hunting

There are plenty of opportunities in Georgia for quail hunters to hit the fields with a dog — especially if you want to hunt with someone else’s dog shooting someone else’s birds. It’s another kind of quail hunter that’s getting scarce, the fellow who owns and feeds his bird dogs himself and keeps them in…

August Wildlife in Mind

You can have your dream of a luxuriant food planting for deer, turkey or other game in the isolated heart of your hunting grounds. “But,” you say, “I don’t own a bulldozer or tractor, much less a trailer to haul them on.” Even if you don’t have farm machinery, or you are in an area…

Eye on the Antis – January 2003

As we mark the passing of another year, we’re happy to report that hunting is still allowed, fishing hasn’t been banned, and ground beef and milk are still for sale at the local grocery store. We can also report that HSUS and PETA and other animal-rights groups are not happy about these things, and they…

Fast-As-You-Can Fishing For Hartwell Stripers

By my watch, we started fishing at 8:49 p.m. Darkness was settling in over Lake Hartwell, but some fast-paced fish-catching under the lights was about to begin. Hartwell fishing guide Wayne White had pulled up on a “pull through” as he calls it, a narrow area, or funnel area that concentrates both bait and hybrids…

October Wildlife in Mind

If you are thinking it’s too late to plan or plant any new wildlife crops this year, think again. October is the optimum time to put in annual grasses like rye, wheat and oats or ryegrass, especially if you have access to a seed drill. You may already have all of your food plots committed…

Georgia Trout – Nothing But Net

On a recent return flight from Colorado, my carry-on luggage was a fly-rod tube. I became the recipient of some nervous looks from others in the ticketing lines, as I guess a length of PVC pipe isn’t the most comforting thing for a passenger to see before they board a plane in our day and…

April Bass At Rocky Mountain PFA

Only minutes before, Steve Marchant had his first bite of the day, but the bass shook loose Steve’s crankbait about halfway to the boat. Now we were fishing a rockpile, the top of which was visible just below the surface of the water of Antioch Lake at Rocky Mountain PF A in Floyd County. Steve…

Paradise PFA Crappie Fishing

April in south Georgia brings warm weather and some of the best fishing of the year for speckled perch. Paradise PFA, just east of Tifton, offers crappie anglers a super public area with tons of options for a mess of April crappie. Few Georgia Public Fishing Areas can boast the history and fishing success of Paradise…

November Wildlife in Mind

November is a quiet time of year for habitat management, relatively speaking, but there are always a few things you could do-and things you don’t have to do-out there in your habitat. This month’s column looks at a few items on which readers have asked for more information. We recently received questions concerning minerals: if,…

North Georgia Fly Fishing Report – April 2006

Chattahoochee Tailwater Water temps: Upper 40s to lower 50s. Chris Scalley of River Through Atlanta is excited about April. Why?  “Caddis flies are everywhere!” Chris said. “The hatch is thick from Cochran Shoals and makes its way upstream through Settles.” Chris said there are a lot of trout rising and that this should last through…
