“The Golden Age of America begins right now.” Those were the opening words from the mouth of our 47th president a few weeks ago as he began his inauguration address. His second such address, which is not unheard of in American political history, but it is only the second time a second presidential term was…
My GON blog is called “On the Shoulders of Giants.” I try to live my life giving thanks to the men and women who have become “giants” in my life, those who live by example, lift me up and motivate me to be a better person. Some are living; some are not. Some I have…
If you’ve read my last blog or listened to me speak over the last few months, I talk a lot about challenging myself to try new things. When I set up a challenge, my competitive nature really makes me go all in. And boy, did I go all in at the Becoming an Outdoorswoman workshop…
Waldo Moody got it done with no time to spare during the 2024-2025 Georgia deer season, taking a beautiful 6×4 during the final minutes of the last day of the season. The buck has tremendous tine length—four in the 12-inch range—and it green scored more than 170 total inches. Scott Hodges met up with Waldo…
One of my grandfather’s final requests over 22 years ago was: “Never, ever sell the farm in Naylor.” Shady Grove Farm outside of Naylor, Georgia in Lanier County has been in my family for more than 200 years.

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 about what they’ve accomplished.…
We all have our ways. We all have our habits. We all have our comfort zones. Currently in my life, I’m very comfortable and content with my everyday routines. I’m attached to them. I’m comfortable with my career, my home life, and the occasional weekend activity or adventure. But over the last few months, something…
Four nights a week as well as every weekend, there was a ball in my hand. For all my adolescent years, my only dream, my only goal, my only focus was to play ball. As a tri-sport athlete, my schedule was full, and my thoughts could not occupy or entertain any other topics than the…
