Maggie ran as fast as she could, her hair streaming behind her head, her anger driving her feet as she sprinted across the pasture heading for the tree line. It’s not fair! she thought. She and her brother Dillon hunted legally, but now someone trespassing had shot Dillon’s 13-pointer. Another shot of angry adrenaline spurred…
If you haven’t got your venison in the freezer yet, you may have messed up. For most Georgia hunters, Dec. 1-25 will be buck-only hunting. And if you’re relying on the few days after Christmas to put some meat up, good luck. Hunting gets tough by then. There are exceptions to the buck-only days in…
It makes this GON editor smile knowing that we played even just a minor part in a hunter recovering his deer, while helping him through a very difficult period in his life. Justin Simpson, of Social Circle, was drawn to hunt the first 2014 quota hunt at Joe Kurz WMA. He was hunting on Oct.…
West Point: Level: 4.7 feet below full pool. Temp: 55-59 degrees. Clarity: Mostly clear. Bass: Good. Guide Keith Hudson reports, “Expect the largemouth bite to continue to be fair around any shallow wood or brush cover or around baitfish schools, especially north of Highland in the Hooch. These bass will hit shallow-water baits such as…
Weiss: Level: 3.9 feet below full pool. Temp: 55-57 degrees. Clarity: Stained.Bass: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Bass fishing is good. Most bass are shallow in the bays and coves following the shad.

Sinclair: Level: 1.6 feet low. Temp: 54-56 degrees. Clarity: Light stained. Bass: Fair. Tournament fisherman Aaron Batson reports, “Bass have moved out of the coves and out on the main-lake points, humps and channel ledges. Carolina-rigged worms are getting bit.

Seminole: Level: 0.7 feet low. Temp. 57 degrees. The Spring Creek Landing is now open. Bass: Guide Aaron Crews reports, “The team of Brad Reynolds and Scott Barefoot won the Big Bass Battle Tournament with a 7-lb. bass caught on a KVD jerkbait in sexy-ghost-shad color (KVD J200). This was good for an $11,000 pay…
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. David Newlin reports, “The weather has been crazy, windy, cold and just plain miserable. The trout have been biting good, catching a lot of keeping-size fish mixed with a whole lot of small fish. All the usual artificial baits have been working, as well as the old reliable live shrimp under a…
Russell: Level: 2 feet below full pool. Temp: 53-56 degrees. Bass: Kerry Partain reports, “The spotted bass on Russell are absolutely gorging themselves on shad right now, and December should be one of the best months to catch them.

Oconee: Level: Full. Temp: 54-56 degrees. Clarity: Lightly stained. Bass: Good. Tournament fisherman Aaron Batson reports, “Bass fishing is fair.
