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…
For a lot of years, it was coming home with so many layers of red dirt stains around our ankles that we’d jump in the pool before coming in the house to shower. There were parts of those years that involved running duct work in an attic to help him out on his side jobs,…
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.

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…
I normally write fishing and hunting articles in this publication, but I’m meandering off the proverbial beaten path with this piece. It’s only fitting that as I sit down to write this piece, our (really) mean rooster, Darryl, is directly outside of my office window to my right, crowing like his life depends on it.…
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…
