Allatoona: Level: 4.3 feet below full pool. Temp: 70 degrees. Clarity: 6 feet. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “The crankbait bite is starting to get better. The Spro Little John, and Bandit 200 series in the copper crawfish color are picking up quite a few fish. Pick up a baitcaster, and look for banks in…
Branan Dennard, of Milledgeville, hadn’t been hunting in four years until Saturday, Oct. 24. He and his family had just recently fixed up their old stand and placed it on some private property in Baldwin County. “I got in the stand about 7 that morning, and it wasn’t windy but damp. I knew it was…
Many think of the rut simply as the peak chasing period, but the deer rut is actually a long process that also includes the pre-rut and post-rut. The pre-rut is the first phase of the rut. I personally use the early archery season to get my meat for the freezer, so I’m not tempted to…
When you think of the perfect hunt, things like car stereos, construction work and the sounds of traffic passing in the distance don’t really cross your mind. Many of us drive by small patches of woods in highly populated areas every day on our way to and from work, and we never think twice about…
Cedar Creek WMA’s first firearms deer hunt of the season always attracts hundreds of deer hunters who are excited to break out their firearms prior to the state’s regular season firearms opener.

Nearly half of Georgia’s deer hunters will have to check for antlers before they pull the trigger when firearms season begins this Saturday, Oct. 17. Verifying that a deer has some headgear on opening day is something many hunters haven’t had to do in a number of years. WRD cut the number of either-sex deer…
Diehard bass fishermen love October. Pleasure boaters are mostly off the lakes, so you don’t rock and roll all day while fishing. A lot of part-time fishermen are in the woods hunting or stuck in front of a TV watching football, so there is a lot less pressure on the bass. Lake Oconee is a…
Southwest Georgia has long been known for its pristine large acreage plantations, southern hospitality and bobwhite quail. However, another trend over the last 30-plus years is the region’s reputation for producing big whitetails.
