Leave Nothing In The Tank
At the high rate of speed this planet is traveling, there is no telling what GON will look like a decade from now. Will GON be delivered through the air waves and show up in your living room as a holographic projection? I wouldn’t laugh too long. Been to the airport lately and seen that…

It was a glorious morning for my introduction with the crowd from Kids Outdoor Zone (KOZ) ministries. There were about 15 boys in the crowd—which I’m told was a little lower than normal. They ranged in age from eight to 18. There were about half as many dads and church men hanging around doing various…

Standing on an old logging road in a creek bottom, the bird gobbled 125 yards out. I found a wide-enough tree that matched my camo pattern and put my padded seat and gun down. I walked back 30 yards with my favorite, chalked-up box call and scratched out six, high-pitched yelps. The bird cut me…

Today I get to publish a blog I’ve never been allowed to write. Until now… My wife and I were sitting in church one Sunday in 2018 and a man spoke on fostering children. God had been dealing with both of us individually on this subject for several years. It was on that Sunday that…

I had a sad day recently. A piece of property that I’ve hunted for 10 years sold, and along with it went some fantastic deer hunting. A powerline runs through it that is a highway for whitetails.

Today I hit 50. The half-century mark has caused me to reflect on what I’ve done—and haven’t done—in the way of hunting over the years. I’ve been to Iowa and killed a nice buck with my bow. I’ve shot an impala in South Africa and doves in Mexico. I’ve hunted all over this great state…

There’s an old saying I was raised around: “If mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.” Well, that pretty much holds true for a partnership between a hired trapper and a landowner, although I’m not too sure who plays mama more… I haven’t been trapping as long as most of the guys I’ve been blessed to meet…

I knew it was gonna happen. Tyler Jordan, son of Realtree President Bill Jordan, kills the No. 2 typical bow buck of the 2022 Georgia season and GON releases the story earlier this week. Here’s two of the comments that came from the GON Instagram page: “Privileged hunter in a controlled hunt. Definitely not fair…

Her name is Lauren. And that’s where my story starts. In October 2002, she was 11 years old. The little girl from Morgan County grew up on a farm but had never done any hunting. I spent a lot of time in my high school and college years on that same farm so I had…

I recently excepted an invite to spend 90 minutes with some high-school students at St. John Bosco Academy in Cumming. The subject was one of my favorites: coyote trapping. You know you love it when there’s no notes or outline needed to prepare. Just be there, run my mouth about a God-given passion and show…
