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…
Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed sharing the accomplishments of others.

If you follow mainstream news, the drum beat of national politics never ends—budgets, departments, confirmation hearings, waste, fraud, taxes, tariffs and Trump… but you’re not going to hear anything about where the crappie are biting or whether there will be any turkeys willing to gobble this spring. At GON, we try to leave national politics…
I’m not sure what happened to the buck. It’s been more than 20 years since we met face to face. Somewhere in the space of time, my arrow is still on its way to the vitals, but it will never get there. It was never meant to get there. The place I hunted has since…
Ben Martin from the Hunt Regs App started the 2025 turkey season with a bang down in south Florida. Ben saw this bird asleep in the tree and was able to slip in quietly and get set up before sunrise. After nearly 75 gobbles on the limb, this gobbler flew down and immediately ran in…
