Her name is Lauren. And that’s where my story starts. In October 2002, she was 11 years old. The little girl from Morgan County grew up on a farm but had never done any hunting. I spent a lot of time in my high school and college years on that same farm so I had…
The alligator hunting team of Tony Wrye, his brother Joey and hunting buddy Tommy Sorrow have been at it since 2005. Opening night (Aug. 18) of the 2023 season almost slipped by them—but not quite. Good thing. Except maybe for a 12-foot, 8-inch monster that gave the trio all it wanted before finally being hauled…
As a young ’un, I remember watching my grandfather and wanting to be everything he was. He was a good man. He had a true passion, one that drove him far more than the outdoors. He had faith in the Lord and through his passion, he was able to provide for our family. It…
Samuel Pruitt, of Sautee, had a video cam strapped to a tree on a Hart County WMA trying to gain some intel for the upcoming 2023 bow season. We’re not sure how the deer scouting is going, but he did discover what looks to be one less fawn in his hunting grounds this fall. He…
