If you weren’t at the GON Outdoor Blast in Emerson this year, I’ll sum it up quickly by saying you really missed out. Big bucks were scored, guns were won every hour on the hour, and vendors had enough discount goodies to fill 20 semi trailers. Oh yeah… and thanks to John Megel Chevrolet, we…
If you are one of the many sportsmen who have walked through the doors of an Outdoor Blast in the past two and half decades, you probably met or at least noticed a group of men and women in hunter-orange t-shirts. They volunteered at the Kids Zone, at the venue doors, or they met folks…
I’ve been camping for over 30 years. I am proud to say that I’ve never camped in an RV or motorhome. I like to be in a tent. Not sure why, but that is just my thing. Get to a campground or forest service road, look for a somewhat flat spot, pick out the random…
A grandfather is a special person for a boy. The role of a grandfather in a boy’s life can be one of the most powerful and influential ones. I guess that explains why I had such an instant connection with Mr. Andrews. When I met Mr. Andrews, he was 81 years old, I was 27,…
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.

The storm of the century began as barely a ripple in…
In September 2022 I flew out to Kalispell, Mt., picked up my rental car, and drove toward Two Medicine Campground, hoping I’d be lucky enough to claim a campsite. I arrived just in time to snag the last available site. Whew. Time to relax and get some rest after a 15-hour day of travel. I…
I rarely set out on a camping trip between Easter and Labor Day. I am a tent camper and frankly, it’s too darn hot for my liking in the summer. However, I made an exception last week after reading about the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky. I poked around on the internet and Koomer…
It’s June 2 when I wake up in my tent at Koomer Ridge Campground in Pine Ridge, Kentucky. This is something new for me. Yes, I camp often, I hit several campgrounds every year, but I can’t remember the last time I set up a tent after Memorial Day. Yet, here I am. As I’m…
