GON Blogs
Daryl's Blog
Daryl Kirby began as an editor at GON in 1989 soon after graduating from UGA, back when GON was a tabloid newspaper that came out every two weeks. His passion remains duck hunting, an addiction that began while hunting family land in the Mississippi Delta. He also loves bowhunting, being tormented by gobblers, wasting shotgun shells on doves, and any bass bite that involves seeing the fish eat.
Out There Outdoors With Clae Mathis
Clae Mathis is a full-time teacher and high school baseball coach with an absolute obsession with whitetail deer hunting. His outings often include his wife Taylor and two sons, Charlie and Cal. Clae loves the Lord and his family first, but deer hunting falls in right after those. Clae's YouTube Channel is mostly devoted to deer hunting in Taylor County, but it also contains other types of hunting. Every single hunt he and his family go on is well documented on the channel, Out There Outdoors.
On The Shoulders Of Giants With Andrew Curtis
Andrew graduated from UGA in 2006 with his undergraduate degree in Animal Health and from UGA’s veterinary school in 2010. His passion for fishing and the outdoors began when he was a young boy spending time with his grandfather at Lake Oconee. Now he enjoys passing on what he has learned to his two young boys at their home on the Alapaha River. Turkey hunting and south Georgia river fishing are among his favorite pastimes, but his main interests involve mentoring kids in the outdoors while spreading the Word of Jesus. Andrew has discovered the joy and power in writing and hopes to benefit others through his words.
Force Of Nature
GON's Kimberly Lee grew up in northeast Georgia and reading the pages of Georgia Outdoor News. You could find her in a trout stream, in the woods, or on a ball field. Not much has changed since then. Now you can find her fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, boating, or running around the Outdoor Blast. She lives in Madison County with her husband, Mitchell and chocolate lab, Boone. In her spare time she enjoys writing about the therapy and Christ connection that the outdoors provide.

Camp, Hike the Southeast
Mike Rhodes graduated from UGA in 1989. He joined the GON team in 1997 as advertising director and is now also co-publisher. Mike enjoys chasing turkeys, and he also spends a good amount of time exploring the Southeast, popping up a tent and hiking various trails. As he spends time with his family making these memories, GON coerced him to share his experiences through his blog Camp, Hike the Southeast.
Craig's Blog
Craig has been a freelance writer for GON for the past four years and loves to write about his adventures both in the woods and in the water. Craig grew up on the banks of the Satilla River, and his primary obsession is pitching topwater bugs to the giant "rooster" redbreast that call the blackwater river home. He also enjoys hunting deer and ducks on our states WMAs, and admittedly does more hunting than actual killing.
