GON’s Trophy Room – April 2022

Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed sharing the accomplishments of others.

Complacency Leads To Bad Decisions

This month our opinion column is a bit of a ramble, so apologies up front. If you want to read something about a particular topic—and get some good laughs while you’re at it—go ahead and turn to the next column and read “On The Back Page” by my other brother Daryl. Too late for many…

Wildlife Managers Changing Gears On Turkey And Deer

Those who drive our wildlife management bus in Georgia are shifting the gears a bit. It’s been a while since I’ve driven a manual transmission, but it wasn’t so long ago that I don’t remember how obvious it was when it was time to shift. If the engine is stalling out or you’re revving the…

The Last Outdoor Magazine

Many hours of my life have been spent devouring the pages of outdoor publications, especially during my childhood. We had boxes of old magazines dating back to the 1950s, 60s, 70s. Those hours were leisurely, but they were certainly not wasted.  The old, tattered magazine pages of Outdoor Life, Field & Stream and Harding’s Fur…

Skin And Cape A Buck

Last month when deer processors across Georgia were full and not taking deer, we showed how to skin and quarter a deer on the tailgate. Now, let’s show how to skin a buck properly, so the cape is in great shape for a taxidermist. Scott’s video blog Southern Reflections With Scott Hodges appears regularly at…
