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…
By Tony Rittenhouse First off I want to thank God for the opportunity and the good fortune I had to harvest this deer. I spent two days scouting Cohutta WMA, and the first day was on a Friday. I walked 15.2 miles that day and did not find hardly any deer sign at all. It…
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…
With the reopening of so many trails and access points I decided to break away from home the last weekend in May for a flash trip to north Georgia. The weather guessers on TV said the chance of rain was low and the temperatures weren’t supposed to be brutal, so I grabbed the tent and…
The past two months were interesting. A tip of the cap to GON’s staff—there’s just seven of them—who did what was asked and needed. Like lots of small businesses, we knew it would take extraordinary effort during an extraordinary time, and it is because of them you are reading the June 2020 issue of Georgia…
By Adam Reas This story starts way before the 2020 turkey season. It’s years in the making leading up to opening day March 21, 2020 and tagging out by 8:30 in the morning. May 2014 is when I first gained access to the property. It was close to the end of turkey season when a…
Back on March 27, 2020, most trails and trailhead access points in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests were closed in an attempt to keep the public safe from the COVID-19 virus. I was a bit dumbfounded by the move at the time. In fact I had just finished writing a blog with a list of some…
