The 2025 Special Opportunity turkey season will be March 22-23. This weekend is only for youth 16 years of age or younger and mobility impaired persons. This season does not apply to public lands unless otherwise specified. Included here are some images of happy young hunters who found success in the Georgia woods last turkey…
It seems that I just finished putting up all of my deer season gear when the season closed in January. Now, turkey season is in sight. The first chance to hunt turkeys for youth and those who are mobility impaired will be March 22-23. Then, the state’s general turkey season opens on private lands March…
As a card-carrying Redneck of long standing, I am, of course, an inveterate tinkerer. Comes with the territory. Now, please notice I did not say “Tinker,” because it does not match up a’tall with Redneck. What tinkerers do—solely in the name of making things, uh, “better”—is tinker with stuff tinkers have already tinkered with.…
Goat Rock Giant Caught & Released Dear GON, My name is Tommy and my brother and I are the guys in the story at GON.com about the big blue catfish that we caught and released at Goat Rock Lake a few weeks ago. We love the story you wrote on us. My family has…

One of the things I love most about our state is variety. Especially when it comes to outdoor pursuits. Think Dahlonega. Then Savannah. See? For at least the first half of this year, I’ll be on impoundments, rivers, PFAs, ponds, creeks… and very possibly an oversized swamp. Those are the ones I know of. Three—Sinclair,…
Springtime in Southern Appalachia is a special time of year, much like it is elsewhere in the United States. However, here it’s a little different. The bleak, blustery clutch of winter is gone and surely forgotten. The mountains turn lush shades of green from the bottom of the hollers, meandering slowly toward the top day…
Georgia turkey hunters are fixing to enter year No. 4 with a shorter turkey season and a bag limit of two toms, down from a three-bird limit prior to the 2022 season. WMA hunters continue to find themselves with a short window to roll a gobbler, not being allowed to hunt until one week after…
