Hunting
It’s been a minute since the GON phone has rung with those familiar “I’ve killed a big ‘un,” words were on the other end of the line. That all changed this morning. Christina Blair, of Temple, called and reported that she had knocked down a good one in Fulton County on Sunday, Sept. 12. “People…
I was at a middle-school football game yesterday afternoon. Amazingly, when I sat down I was within earshot of a fellow who’s coached an NFL Super Bowl team, at least if his critique and criticism of every single play was any indication. By quarter two, my brain was full. I quietly grabbed my stadium chair…
By Russell Headrick I thought I would share some pics and the story from our recent alligator hunt in the Altamaha River. The lucky hunter was Danny Cochran, of Dalton, and he used seven of his “sacred” priority points to draw a tag for Zone 7. We drove down to Darien on Thursday, Aug. 26…

Adventures in the outdoors can bring families together and create lifelong memories. While success isn’t a requirement for that magic, it can sure add some special sauce to the recipe. The Teston family from Augusta will not soon forget the morning they spent on a cypress and lily pad choked lake in Jenkins County hunting…
My seventh-grade daughter blacked out from the heat this week while cheering on those Putnam County War Eagles. I caught the tail end of it as four of her cheer sisters grabbed her before she toppled over. Her sideline coach and our athletic director were quick to get her to the shade with some water…
For three glorious days in August all the world was good again. For many of us, the past year-and-a-half has been a huge void—a blip on the map—a time like no other in American history. Continuous cancelations (including the 2020 Outdoor Blast), school closings, working from home, limited travel and in many cases, living like…

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…
