There’s a bit of a last-minute re-write to this month’s editorial, and it’s in the wrong direction—or maybe it’s the right direction. Let’s just say the path diverged from how thoughts are normally put to paper around here. The normal path… something shiny gets our attention, and by shiny I mean it is often when…
It’s that time yet again… time to kick back in the old La-Z-Boy and thumb through the pages of GON magazine. For me, that usually means a roughly two-hour trip or so from the cover to the back that takes me on one adventure to another, and it could be anything from rabbit hunting the…
This past deer season I was called to help track a buck that a young girl had shot while hunting with her dad. The deer had dropped in its tracks, but then dragged itself into a nearby ditch, effectively preventing a good follow-up shot. The blood trail was initially good but then dwindled to one…
The thought of artificial intelligence scares me. First of all, I just don’t understand it. I never will. I never want to. As more and more people are leaning on technology and becoming completely and hopelessly dependent on it, I find myself yearning to take a step back away from it all. I find comfort…
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.

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. That’s an impressive amount of time considering we live in the days of money-driven land auctions which…
