Growing up in south Atlanta, a southern summer would not be complete without doing some fishing and lots of it. Fishing has always been a passion of mine going back to my childhood when we would sneak slices of Mama’s white bread on those hot, summer days and go down to the community pond to…
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…

We are truly blessed that so many loyal Georgians think enough of GON to share with us…

We all want to improve hunting opportunities on land we control. Many of us put in food plots, plant nut and fruit trees and manage native vegetation in an effort to increase wildlife populations. Much has been written about food plots, concentrating on wheat, oats, clovers and other annual and perennial crops. So, in this article…
Glen and Mark arrived at the refuge at noon on Aug. 24, and after finding a good shady camping spot, the pair began to set up their living quarters for the next week. “One of these days we really need to work out a sponsorship deal with the folks at Thermacell. These swamp skeeters will…
Uh-oh. Blue lights. Think fast. (Which, admittedly, ain’t one of my strong suits.) So we’ll simply do what everybody else does… First thing is to glance down—heart in throat—at the pickup’s speedometer: YIKES!!!
