My dad died the day after I wrote last month’s column, a rambling piece about outdoor memories I titled First Deer, Last Deer. We knew his passing was coming, and it seemed to be coming on quick that week. And I’m sure that’s why last month I was so sentimental about outdoor memories and how…
Every November when the rut kicks in and either-sex days open in many counties, there are deer processors across Georgia that fill up and are not able to take any more deer. A deer hunter should know how to quarter a deer and get that meat in a cooler. Here, Scott Hodges shows us on…
