South Mountain State Park in Connelly Springs, North Carolina offers back country, equestrian and family camping. I don’t have a horse and I’m not yet in the physical shape needed to backpack camp, so I hit the family campground. The family campground sits along the Jacob Fork River in Burke County about 25 miles south…
Deer season is here. For GON, that means another year of the Truck-Buck contest. We love Truck-Buck entries because we get to see so many great Georgia bucks and so many familiar faces. Week 17 last season was extra special. As the entries rolled in, there were some familiar names. There was Ritchie Sharian, who…
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…
Who is your favorite outdoor writer? My favorite changes depending on whether I’m diving into some classic from my bookshelf or reading something in a current issue of GON.

There’s quite a bit to be proud of at GON—at least I think so—but our record-keeping legacy has to be near the top. Most of us will never kill a buck or catch a fish that has any record-book potential, but we all hunt deer in a county and have our favorite lake or river. …
Take any two-lane highway out of any small town in this great state, and in about 20 minutes you will roll up on another small town. At the stop sign or traffic light, you will probably have to turn right because there’s a town square. I love small towns. If I’m traveling, I will go…

Ryne and our buddy Josh Stander and I took our dogs out to Winnfield, Louisiana to the biggest Hog Dog Field Trials in the world, Uncle Earl’s. Champ was able to put together a good run and came home with a tie for 2nd place in the Woods Dog classification. After our first two-dog run…
