The Hippocratic Oath all medical doctors must take and are supposed to abide by says, “First, do no harm.” A motto that GON Editor Brad Gill and I subscribe to here in making this magazine and all that goes with it is “Just do good.” Simple enough concept, really easy to say. But it’s not…
A stolen title for this blog from Riley Green’s hit song, “I wish Grandpas never died.” Such a simple line, but oh so true. Both of my grandpas have gone on to be with the Lord, and it’s hard not to miss them, especially right here around the holidays. They both managed to have an…
I can’t even tell you how many times during the last 35 years I have driven up over Blood Mountain on Highway 129. Left turn. Right turn. Hairpin turn. That’s the route I took when I lived in Marietta as a teenager and the route I still take headed from Morgan County as an old…
In part two of our sit-down with this year’s Georgia Kayak Bass Fishing State Champion, Jason Alford shares his Day 1 experience on West Point Lake. Launching at his final pre-fishing ramp, Jason made for his spot. “After a 1.25-mile pedal, I arrived at the mouth of the creek where I planned to start,” said…
By Shawn Lumsden Georgia’s 2019 deer season was finally upon us in Talbot County, a day that half the state’s population would rank just as significant as Thanksgiving or even Christmas. As my family prepares for deer season, we tell stories at the dinner table and thumb through photo albums of seasons past. Looking forward…

If you read my last blog entry, you’re well aware that Jason Alford captured this year’s Georgia Kayak Bass Fishing Championship in October. Jason was kind enough to sit down with me and share his experience competing on West Point Lake and the Chattahoochee River. In fact, Jason shared so much great information that I’m…
Yesterday while trout fishing down around Brunswick, I saw something that is becoming all to common, and for me, it’s down right disappointing. While working our way along a grass-lined bank, we eased past another boat. I watched the man fishing as we went past and couldn’t help but notice a child, maybe 9 or…
This chilly November morning marks one of my favorite Saturdays of the year. As shooting light nears, there are men, women and children standing around tailgates sipping coffee as they adorn orange caps, hunting vests and briar britches. Beagle hounds whine in the box as nearby cottontails and swampers will soon be forced from…
Ever lived in a neighborhood with a homeowner’s association? Thank goodness I don’t. I can’t imagine having someone down the street complaining—maybe even issuing me a fine—because my truck is parked in the yard or because I left my trailer beside the house. Reminds me of a theory. Goes like this… once someone takes on…
