I don’t recall exactly how or when I first met Stan Elrod, suffice to say it was in the mid to late 1990s when I was a young editor at GON and Stan was an even younger DNR game warden. I do clearly remember the morning in February 2007 when Stan called and asked if…
If you’ve read any of my earlier blogs, you know I am partial to the AllTrails app when it comes to finding a hike. Saturday I had to be over in Washington in Wilkes County, so I figured I’d have a look at my options. I didn’t have much time, so a shorter hike would…
Outdoor Blast Update The 2020 GON Ag-Pro Outdoor Blast was officially canceled a few weeks ago. This was a painful decision, but with all the restrictions in place and uncertainty from week to week, it was not a tough call. No choice, really. Time to put a fork in 2020 and get ready for 2021,…

You won’t believe what I found in former Editor Brad Bailey’s desk drawer this week…. give me a minute. In the upcoming September issue of GON, you’ll find the one-of-a-kind hunt story of Keith Almand’s 2019 Morgan County bow buck that scores 177 5/8-inch non-typical inches. B&C scorer Bill Cooper wrote the story and did…

I can’t watch the news anymore. Every story is maddening on some level, whether it’s simply what is being shown—how people are behaving—or it’s how the ‘reporter’ spins the story. Both drive up the blood pressure. Very frustrating times. You know what’s also maddening and frustrating? This stinking virus. Do the kids go to school,…
I have spent the last 5 or so years of my life chasing a Rooster. Countless hours, miles on my pickup truck, a half dozen worn out trolling motors, and hundreds of thousands of casts have been tallied along the way. As your probably guessing by now, I’m not talking about a big red yard…

Pretty scary when you turn on the news and see people running in and out of the smashed windows and doors of Lenox Mall and setting fire to your favorite Italian restaurant. The next evening the scene at Lenox was dozens of DNR Law Enforcement trucks, each with a 4-wheeler in the bed, parked in…
