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…
There are memories so clear, so vivid, it’s like I’m right there once again. The outdoors can do that. I think that’s part of the reason why some people get so caught up in hunting and fishing that it becomes a major part of their lives—a primary part. Someone who has spent time hunting and…
Middle school football season is about gone, but I did hear another good one the other evening. Lady No. 1 says to Lady No. 2 that our team had just made it inside the “red zone,” even sharing that NFL announcers refer to teams being inside the red zone all the time. The ball was…
What image comes to mind when you think about a really good trapper? Robert Redford playing Jeremiah Johnson, and Tom Oar from the History Channel’s Mountain Men series. Rough, tough and gruff.

More thoughts from the middle-school football bleachers. Have you ever seen those fanatical parents on the sidelines, the ones who would make a child-development professor cringe? I’ve watched parents holler at their kids through four very long quarters of play… as in every single play. I never quite figured out if they didn’t trust the…
I love Georgia and all of its natural resources that we are blessed to have, but, when it comes to camping, I just cannot do it during the summer. After the calendar turns from April 30th you can count on my tent being placed on the shelf in the garage. My tent, like all my…
I was at a middle-school football game yesterday afternoon. Amazingly, when I sat down I was within earshot of a fellow who’s coached an NFL Super Bowl team, at least if his critique and criticism of every single play was any indication. By quarter two, my brain was full. I quietly grabbed my stadium chair…
My seventh-grade daughter blacked out from the heat this week while cheering on those Putnam County War Eagles. I caught the tail end of it as four of her cheer sisters grabbed her before she toppled over. Her sideline coach and our athletic director were quick to get her to the shade with some water…
