The Houston County Board of Commissioners recently disapproved an application that would have allowed Silicon Ranch solar company to place panels on a 4,700-acre tract adjacent to Oaky Woods WMA.

The fish are starting to move out of their summer patterns and move around more. It can be good and bad.

Squirrel season is now underway, dove opens Sept. 7, and our whitetail archery kicks off mid month. I always try to keep in good shape throughout the summer to make sure I’m on top of my game for the fall hunting season. I’ve logged about 50 miles on a local mountain with a full…
