Georgia WRD Stays Busy After Deer Season

The long 2022 Georgia deer hunting season is now just a memory. The hunters have retreated to the comfort of their homes for a much-needed break. There will be months before they begin serious preparations for the 2023 deer season. Some might wonder. Once the deer season ends, do WRD biologists, technicians and other personnel…

Prepare For Prespawn Bass Fishing Season

It’s almost here. Spring is right around the corner. Warmer weather beckons from just a little ways out now, and cabin fever will be cured soon, for several months at least. We’re fortunate here in the South to only be dealt a mild, though still unbearable winter. I have no clue how our northern brethren…

The Hunter’s Calendar

Many deer hunters see the calendar in phases. Take the Fourth of July, for example. Bowhunters will mark that as a time to take the bow to an archery shop and get it tuned. You may consider adding some new arrows or broadheads to replace those lost or shot up last season.  As July moves…

The Dodgy Hares Of Woods-N-Water

Smack-dab in the middle of more than 5,500 game-rich middle Georgia acres; beagles squalling and roaring fit to blow needles off the pines; a perfectly frosty, sunny morning; perched squarely in the path of the already half-hour race—and leave it to Blaine Burley to come up with a kamikaze attack rabbit! Monday, Jan. 16, was…

Wild In The Kitchen: Smoked Catfish Dip

Smoked Catfish Dip We had some company coming over to watch some football recently and my wife asked me to pick up an appetizer at the grocery store. A smoked fish dip sounded nice, so I checked out the offerings at Publix. It was $8.99 for a small tub of dip, and I would probably…

Labels, Canceling And Nuance

It’s a sad day in America when a good man passes away yet we have to worry about labels like environmentalist and conservationist as being bad words. Long before there were terms to describe what we were doing, it was hunters and fishermen who protected and enhanced our lands and waterways. Regardless of the word…
