Hunting
The 2023-24 season has tallied up 96 record-book bow bucks officially scored so far. When last year’s September issue went to press, we had recorded 99 P&Y bucks (currently at 111). Based on the Georgia’s Best Bow Bucks By Year chart below, the last four years of Georgia’s archery season have been pretty much cookie…
When you grow up with a passion for hunting and fishing, maybe, just maybe—if you’re lucky—you might end up working and earning a living in the outdoor industry. A love for the outdoors puts its hooks in some of us, creating a desire to do it for a living. But to earn a paycheck in…
The Conservation LE Corner is designed to highlight the efforts of Georgia DNR Law Enforcement Division (LED) officers who, among their many duties, protect Georgia’s wildlife, sportsmen and natural resources from game-law violators.

It took Dace a good 30 minutes to field-dress Charlie’s doe. She made him go slow because she wanted it done right. We had walked out to the edge of the soybean field and around to one side where we found the doe piled up about 20 yards inside the woods. As the three of…

Beginning Sept. 14, thousands of bowhunters will enter the Georgia woodlands in hopes of arrowing a whitetail deer. Some will be successful, most will not, and a few will suffer the agony of sticking a deer and not being able to recover it. Drawing blood but not finding a deer is one of the most…
Except for irate wives, unreasonable game wardens and “didn’t get in ‘til 3 a.m.” hangovers, nothing affects an outdoorsman’s success more than the weather. And since all hunters and fishermen know this, they are probably concerned about the political and media hysteria surrounding “climate change.” Let me explain quickly. “Weather” is short-term local atmospheric…
