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.

Here’s two of the comments that came from the GON Instagram page: “Privileged hunter in a controlled hunt. Definitely not fair…
There were not many fishing reports due to storm clean-up, school starting and the heat, but the few who went did well. The rivers (except the St. Marys) are all high, so spend your time on the St. Marys, the Okefenokee Swamp, ponds or saltwater this weekend. St. Marys River: Matt Rouse fished the upper…
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is conducting aerial aquatic plant management on Lake Seminole throughout the week of Sept. 5, weather permitting. The management areas were chosen in coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, balancing the project’s fish and wildlife habitat benefit, density and location of the vegetation management areas,…
A white turkey poult showed up in late July in Walker County on the camera of Dacin Lowe. Several pictures of the white bird were taken with other normal-colored poults and an adult hen turkey. We emailed one of the pictures to WRD’s State Wild Turkey Coordinator Emily Rushton to get her thoughts. “That is…
Typically, when I go fishing, I like to catch fish. That day, my better judgement was trying to convince me to choose another activity. All the cows were lying down. The wind was whipping.
