Editorial Opinion – April 2025

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…

The Coke Can Buck

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…

South Florida Osceola From Roost, Fly Down… To Decoy Destruction

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…

GON’s Trophy Room – March 2025

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.…

Editorial-Opinion March 2025

There’s a bit of a last-minute re-write to this month’s editorial, and it’s in the wrong direction—or maybe it’s the right direction. Let’s just say the path diverged from how thoughts are normally put to paper around here. The normal path… something shiny gets our attention, and by shiny I mean it is often when…

Want To Start A YouTube Channel?

It’s that time yet again… time to kick back in the old La-Z-Boy and thumb through the pages of GON magazine. For me, that usually means a roughly two-hour trip or so from the cover to the back that takes me on one adventure to another, and it could be anything from rabbit hunting the…

Payment Expected

This past deer season I was called to help track a buck that a young girl had shot while hunting with her dad. The deer had dropped in its tracks, but then dragged itself into a nearby ditch, effectively preventing a good follow-up shot. The blood trail was initially good but then dwindled to one…

Artificial Intelligence Can’t Compete

The thought of artificial intelligence scares me. First of all, I just don’t understand it. I never will. I never want to. As more and more people are leaning on technology and becoming completely and hopelessly dependent on it, I find myself yearning to take a step back away from it all. I find comfort…

Editorial-Opinion February 2025

“The Golden Age of America begins right now.” Those were the opening words from the mouth of our 47th president a few weeks ago as he began his inauguration address. His second such address, which is not unheard of in American political history, but it is only the second time a second presidential term was…
