Fishing Reports
Bartletts Ferry: Level: 3.4 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 58-60 degrees. Clarity: Muddy around creeks, stained in the river, but clearing up fast. Bass: Fair.

Allatoona: Level: 5.9 feet below full pool. Temp: 57-58 degrees. Clarity: Mostly clear, with the clearest water in the middle section of the lake. Bass: Good.

Paulding County residents took a major step toward protecting part of a popular hunting area in their county by voting in favor of a $15 million bond referendum that was on Paulding’s November 7, 2006 ballot.

Georgia hunters are blessed to have a long deer season. There aren’t many states with four months on the calendar where one can chase bucks across the state’s widely varied landscape.

How do you kill a mature buck during the peak of the rut? Techniques and theories for hunting the rut abound. Hunt all day because bucks are on the move, hunt high in a place you can see a long distance, hunt where the does are feeding because they’ll attract a buck. Those techniques might…
