I know you can find turkeys in almost any natural habitat in Georgia, but there is something special to me about turkey hunting in sandy soil. I can’t really define it, but those south Georgia sandy pines just make me think of longbeards. Maybe because I have a long string of relatives making a life…
Come along as GON Events Coordinator, Kimberly Lee, takes us through her trip to the 2025 NRA convention that was held in Atlanta on April 25, 2025. Kimberly Lee is GON’s Event Coordinator… among her many talents. Hence her nickname the “Force Of Nature.” Kimberly’s Force Of Nature blog appears regularly at GON.com and in GON magazine.
I will tell you what gets me excited to see now. When I scroll through social media and find a huge, genuine smile on a kid or adult hunter behind a relatively unimpressive set of deer antlers or even a doe, I find myself smiling just as big. I discover myself seemingly drawn more to…
Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed sharing the accomplishments of others. Some months we’ll receive hundreds of pictures of happy hunters and anglers every year who just want to share their accomplishments. We are truly blessed that so many loyal Georgians think enough of GON to share with us about what they’ve accomplished.…
There I was sitting on a park bench getting a little Vitamin D sunshine during a lunch break at the tail end of another magazine deadline. Survived another one. Deadline week causes a bit of angst and stress in my house. Not that any of y’all are counting, and neither was I, but a…

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…
The season is upon us with the itch of spring and all she brings puts an anxious bone in a man’s soul. Old Man Winter is slowly fading behind the scenes, but his few final curtain calls come with a bitter sting and a cold bite, leaving any early bloomer to perish. It’s a season…
I like being positive. I really dislike spreading unfavorable news, but sometimes reality gets the better of me. Now is one of those times. I heard someone this past deer season talk about how many turkeys he saw at his deer feeder. He called it a “turkey problem” and complained that they were eating all…
It’s a sad experience to drive by the hunting grounds of my youth and see only houses. It’s a place that taught me so much about deer hunting, learning the lessons the hard way. I am an outdoorsman from birth, but my dad has never had much interest in hunting or fishing, so I had…
