By Kevin Worley This happened to me on Nov. 1 after more than 20 years of bowhunting. Now I say 20 years, which is true. I bought my bow back in ’98 or ’99, I believe, and I still hunt with it today. However, I didn’t exactly bowhunt a great deal because I never enjoyed hunting…
When Ponce de Leon was first told about a mystical body of water that had the ability to restore youth, I believe those boys were onto something. However, somehow Ponce got his directions wrong and ended up somewhere down in south Florida. Little did he know that 100 or so miles to the north, there’s…
In December I shared in my Camp, Hike The Southeast blog my trip to Robbinsville, NC and my stay at Cheoah Point Campground on Santeetlah Lake. I did some hiking while there and promised to share them in a future blog. I covered the Yellow Creek Falls hike in the review for Cheoh Point Campground,…
By John Henry Spann Sr. The opening day of the archery season was brutally hot. It was in the high 80s in Dahlonega when my 7-year-old son, Henry, and I set out to get his first deer. He had been practicing with my crossbow since the end of last season and was making consistent shots…

By Robert Nash After four long years of waiting, it happened. I was able to finally catch up to one of the elusive black bears that roam the forests of Cohutta WMA up close to Ellijay. Every year around the first full week of bow season, me and my buddy Reece Abernathy head up to…
When I was younger, summer was my favorite season of the year. No school and a trip to the beach made it the clear winner. I’ve been out of school for more than 30 years now, I lived at the beach for five years, and I haven’t had a spring break since 1988. Summer has…
