Antler Shed Science

Like most deer hunters, I love finding shed antlers. Perhaps it’s because each antler is as unique as a human fingerprint, or because it provides hints to where a buck lives, his age, his antler quality and even his dominance rank in the herd. Regardless, I view each shed antler as a prize worthy of…

What WAS That?

Why is there always ONE? And why does it always have to be THE one? One last question: is it too much to ask for a simple glimpse, no matter how brief? Let me set the scene for you under the guise of understanding… You know the small town breakfast table, right? Well, sometimes, tiptoeing…

Crash Course Gobblers: Hunting New Land

The alarm sounded at 2 a.m., and it was briefly a bit aggravating. Then I remembered the reason I had set it for such an early hour. We were going turkey hunting, but we needed to leave earlier than normal to drive the 2 1/2 hours to a place we had never hunted. My good…

Talking Turkeys: Just An Anecdote

Let’s talk about turkeys. Again… I can’t tell you how many times over the past five years I’ve talked about this goofy looking critter. I love turkeys, and I love hunting them.

The 2021 Georgia Turkey Hunting Special

Two decades have passed since poult counts began to shift downward and hunters begin to cry about worsening conditions in the turkey woods. Southeastern biologists, researchers and hunters have come to the same table to discuss the issue, and we now find ourselves on the cliff of what could be pretty drastic changes to Georgia’s…

Altamaha River Bass In The Trees

Looking out my front window as I begin working on this story, it’s raining… again. If there has ever been this much early spring rain in Georgia, I’m either too young to know about it, or old enough that I’ve forgotten about it. Bottom line is it’s made for some tough fishing, and I’m ready…

Letters To The Editor – March 2021

Is GON-TV Back? Dear GON, I saw an email blast from GON with a link to an old GON-TV episode, and it reminded me that I was interviewed on an episode of GON-TV in 2000 as a junior shooter at the GA State ATA Trap Shoot. I think it was spring or summer of 2000…

Clarks Hill LiveScope Crappie

Somehow, somewhere along the line, the whole video game thing managed to pass me by. Guess there were better things to do with my metacarpus at the time. Making a living, for example. But after a day on Clarks Hill Lake looking for—and AT—bunches of crappie with Troy Thiel, I could easily find myself working…
