I parked Dale Turner’s truck and boat trailer in the little gravel lot at his Lincolnton neighborhood’s private boat ramp and hustled back down the hill expecting to see him idling the boat up to the dock so I could jump on board to begin a day of crappie fishing at Clarks Hill Reservoir. When…
I remember how excited I’d get the Thursday before opening day of gun season. I’d get home from school and my dad was already loading up our 1974 Chevy Blazer. He’d be packing the essentials that were needed for a weekend at deer camp: hunting clothes, orange vests, sleeping bags and about a week’s worth…
Maybe the best thing I ever did to strengthen my deer-hunting knowledge was to buy a pack of beagles. My dive into the rabbit-dog world started three years ago when I bought a pair of beagles. I got access to hunt several hundred acres that was covered with short pines and briars. It may have…

Wayne was fishing a crappie jig in the creek, which drains into the Flint River, and he was catching a few of the standard, hand-sized creek crappie.…
At least along Georgia’s coast, the teal arrived in the nick of time for the opening of the September season. At Seminole the hunting was reportedly slow, and at other places around the state, the teal ducked out before the season began. Altamaha WMA area manager Jason Chapman said he hadn’t seen many teal during…
Georgia’s deer-harvest numbers from last season are in, and they prove what a lot of hunters knew already: the 2004-05 season was an off year for Georgia deer hunting. What the survey numbers say is that deer harvest dropped by 16 percent last year. The buck harvest dropped 15 percent to the lowest level since…
