Several weeks ago on GON.com a great article was published that discussed hunting opportunities for coyotes. The in-depth article provided excellent hunting techniques for how to reduce the negative impact they have on our deer and turkey populations. Let’s dive in a little deeper to this species. Coyotes inhabit all of our 159 counties. However,…
Brice Rhodes made Georgia big-bass history on Feb. 29, 2004 when he caught a 15-lb., 2.1-oz. bass in a Carroll County pond. His name currently sits at the No. 34 spot on GON’s Georgia’s Biggest Bass of All-Time list. “I was fishing in a cove and threw down the bank under some trees,” said Brice.…
By David Hornback My heart pounded on this cold, rainy January day as I watched the buck I had been hunting for two seasons walk toward me. I am an avid bowhunter, and my story began two years ago when a special 3-year-old buck walked in front of my camera. He was beautiful—a perfect main-frame…
The six Ps: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. Got it? Write it down, because if you’re anything like me, you’re certainly not going to remember it.

DNR Commissioner Walter Rabon and Deputy Commissioners Trevor Santos and Thomas Barnard…
I don’t know if there’s a month I like better than April. With winter fading away quickly, warmer days are here, and the fishing will be fantastic! Just like their freshwater cousins, the bite takes off in the salt this month as reds, flounder, trout and sheepshead all become increasingly active with warming water temperatures.…
Ever thought about why crappie gravitate to the shallows in the springtime? To spawn, you say? Well, yeah… but why do they do that?
