Hunting
Location, location, location… Emmitt hung up the phone and turned to Jan, “Ed says we need to get up to Sandy Cross to see that property this weekend.” “Is that the one with the pond near the Interstate?” Emmitt confirms it is that parcel. “That will be the perfect location for us. Ed worked it…
Georgia has one of the longest running deer seasons in the country. This allows us to enjoy more neat things in the woods. On one December hunt, I enjoyed watching a red-tailed hawk swoop down to nab its meal, a large raccoon waddle down a tree and down a trail, a doe with two fawns…
I would like to share some words of encouragement with Zach Getskow after his recent fall from a tree stand. I live in Dacula, Ga., but I had a very similar experience seven years ago in Montgomery County, Missouri on Nov. 18, 2013. I fell 17 1/2 feet when the nylon straps suddenly snapped on…
“An old trapper gave a buddy of mine six traps and told him to go play with them,” Josh Hall recalls with a grin. “That’s what we did, and that’s really how I got started in trapping. But it didn’t take long to find out that it wasn’t playtime, and that there was a whole…

Me and my deddy went hunting at this place that his friend let us hunt. We sat down in our hunting blind. We sat there for a long time, and it was almost dark. We saw many does and yearlings, then my deddy said there was a big buck. I got behind my rifle.…
Coon hunting is at the very essence of our hunting heritage. Man and dog go out into the night, and not just for the kill, but for the chase itself. From the hills around Macon, up through the hollers of the mountains and down in the cypress swamps of the southern portion of our state,…
By Mike Sumner Imagine for a moment that you have never been deer hunting, but it was on your bucket list. Imagine that on your first hunt you go to the woods with a borrowed gun, armed with the knowledge that comes from a few weekends on the range with a seasoned hunter and fellow…
