I used to worship turkeys. From about my junior year in high school well into adulthood, my pure reason for living was wrapped solely into one single thing: killing wild turkeys. In fact, I had decided that whenever I left this world, I wanted my lasting legacy to be that I was a great turkey…
It was the summer of 1993… Man… just saying that reminds me I’m starting to get old. Anyway back to the story. It’s April, the sun is shining, and I’m in a jon boat hoping and praying to somehow catch my first bass. I’m armed with a Zebco 33 and a Creme plastic worm. I’m…
Based on the title of this story, I’m surprised and grateful for those who have stopped in to read it. Give me three minutes and it will come full circle… I promise. There is not a more hated and despised fish in Georgia’s waters to my knowledge than a bowfin. Ugly, nasty, slimy, are some…
By O.J. Greene This year was the greatest hunting season of all time. My oldest son shot his first deer, and I finally took my first archery buck. Both harvests have been a long time in the making. During my first 43 years of life, I shot three does during a total of four hunts.…
We lived on a neighborhood lake when I was a teen. Most every evening I slid a jonboat into the water and sculled around by myself, slinging a popping bug on a junky old fly rod, sidearm redneck style, as the sun sank below the treeline. It was cathartic, my mediation. Those evenings on the…
The past couple of weeks have been filled with plenty of chaos. Safe to say that I have never experienced anything quite like this in my 50 plus years.

Bassphemy: the act of eating a perfectly good bass instead of releasing it. Ok… OK… so I made that word up, but the sad fact is many see eating bass as a disrespect to the sport. Seems as if the game has changed a lot since June of 1932 when George Perry fed his family…
The kayak tournament season has been underway for the past six weeks. Most all the clubs have had two events, so let’s get you all caught up on what’s been happening this season. Jan. 26, Hard Labor Creek Reservoir: Peach State Kayak Anglers (PSKA) held the first event of the kayak tournament season at Hard Labor Creek Reservoir.…
“Hey I want to talk to you about maybe lining up a fishing day on the farm for kids or under privileged folks.” Just a random text that came in the other day from out of the blue. Do sportsmen care more, or are people who hunt and fish, in general, just a higher grade…
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…
