Hunting
Nine-year-old Andrew Bruce, of Newborn, didn’t let much of the 2023 Georgia deer season slip by before he downed a nice 8-point buck. Andrew was with his father TJ the evening of opening day of archery season when he shot the buck while hunting with a crossbow. Their property is on the Morgan/Newton County…
The fall transition has started, and it’s not long before some of the best fishing of the year will fire up. Okefenokee Swamp: Jason Andrick visited the Okefenokee Swamp mid-week and fished the east side. He and a friend caught 50 bowfin and pickerel (mostly bowfin) and 11 fliers. They fooled the pickerel and bowfin…
When Will Baker drew a Zone 1 tag for Georgia’s gator season, he had high hopes that he’d be able to harvest an above-average gator, but little did he know that a much larger train was coming down the tracks. “I drew my first tag way back in 2014 and managed to harvest a nice,…
Tim Brown, of Covington, is a working man, so he relies on his Tactacam Reveal cell camera to get pictures of what’s going on at his Warren County hunting club when he’s not there. Tactacam offers users the option to set specific times when a camera will take a random photo and send it to…
Jonathan Megel and his father John have been working on improving the hunting and quality of the deer on a tract of land in Meriwether County that they’ve had now for about three years. A major component of that effort is to try and let bucks get some age on them. Heading into this 2023…
Fishing Lake Oconee was fun Sunday. This 5.2-lb. largemouth hit a Trick Worm on the outer edge of a water willow grassbed at 9 a.m. to anchor my five-bass limit that weighed 12.47 pounds to win the Flint River Club tournament. I love hunting and football season—fished from 6:30 to 8:30 and saw only one…
Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The last couple of days the redfish bite has been smoking. It happens most years around this time. This morning (Sept. 9), we had a 15-fish limit in the boat in about 25 minutes. We released another 30 slot-limit fish and several around 30 inches before 10:30. It doesn’t ever get any better…
A messed-up crossbow right before bow season started meant that Nicki Johnson, of Jefferson, had to borrow one from her friend, musician Brantley Gilbert. “Brantley and I grew up together, so I ran to his place to get his Raven crossbow the evening before our hunt. She practiced with it and got it zeroed in,” said…
Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed sharing the accomplishments of others. Some months we’ll receive hundreds of pictures of happy hunters and anglers every year who just want to share their accomplishments. We are truly blessed that so many loyal Georgians think enough of GON to share with us about what they’ve accomplished.…
