Hunting
As the first rays of dawn broke through the fields, I knew I was on the brink of an adventure that would push me to my limits and fortify the connection to my ancestral lands. I’ve hunted for well over 20 years, but this time was going to be different. Today, I was leaving my…

For the second time in a week, the Alapaha River redbreast record has been broken. On Aug. 31, Craig James, along with his son Colt, were fishing the river when they managed to connect with a big panfish that was able to edge out the newly set record. “I had never fished the river before,…

I have written to GON before about my experiences with the Georgia Trappers Association (GTA), particularly in regards to the annual Convention and Youth Field Trials (both of which are not only free and fun, but will teach you more about trapping than years spent watching YouTube videos), but today I wanted to talk about…
It’s a difference in perspective. It’s a difference in generations. If you asked me, I would tell you that quail hunting was for the wealthy, more of a status symbol than an actual hunting activity per se. My father-in-law, however, would tell you that it was a poor man’s game back in his day. Why…
Suwannee bass are unique. With ranges in only two river systems in south Georgia, they have one of the smallest distributions of all of the black basses. They look sort of like a football with hints of smallmouth and shoal bass. They are their own species, but they do not get very big. Our Georgia…
