June Is Time To Check Out Some Kids’ Fishing Events

School is out, and the fish ponds are open! June is the month when it’s pretty easy to find a Kids’ Fishing Event taking place, even if you have to ride a little piece to get to one. If you can’t make one of these scheduled events, it doesn’t matter. There are so many public…

Brain Matter & Other Things

Surely, if you put in enough time in the deer stand, you probably have been busted. You know that terribly unsettling feeling that you get when a deer catches your scent in the wind, raises its nose a few times and blows loud enough to scare off any other deer nearby. Well, the whitetail deer…

Letters To The Editor: June 2023

What About Extending Small-Game Season? Dear GON, Since the increase in deer season, this has decreased the days of the small-game season.

How The Truck-Buck Weeks Were Won – 2022 Deer Season

Another group of Georgia deer hunters will soon take the stage at the Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast on July 30 to compete in the 34th annual Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. The second-best shot will win a Firminator G-3, and the man, woman or youngster who makes that last shot will win a new truck from John Megel Chevy.…

At All Costs

Go big or go home. That’s all good and well, great advice. Unless, of course, the impacts of going home are far worse than the potential rewards of going big. Stating the obvious there, but there seems to be an ever-escalating ‘at all costs’ mentality in all walks of life. A young hunter seems desperate…
