What’s the best song ever written? For the folks sitting around your campfire this weekend, a song from Haggard, Hank Jr. or David Allan Coe might come to mind. Who knows why, but this morning I got on the internet and searched ‘Best Song Of All Time.’ Don’t do it, you might be disappointed. One…
Ahhhhhh public land hunting, you gotta love it. Throw a hundred and fifty hunters on a 10,000 acres, all with high hopes of killing a whitetail with a set of horns that a moose would envy, and you better believe there’s going to be problems. I’m a member of several large social media outdoor groups,…
I’m over it. I’m over the nonsense, the nastiness and the folks in the outdoor community who are just plain rude and lack good raising. A couple days ago, I’m scrolling through Facebook and I come across a GON story about Travis “T-Bone” Turner of the Bone Collector TV show killing a big Georgia buck…
Georgia Outdoor News loves sharing the accomplishments of others. Some months we’ll receive hundreds of pictures of happy hunters and anglers every year who just want to share their accomplishments. We are truly blessed that so many loyal Georgians think enough of GON to share with us about what they’ve accomplished. Welcome to GON‘s Trophy…
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…

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,…
As I begin to work on this blog, America is in a state of total chaos. Kids are going to elementary classrooms each day dressed like they’re headed off to med school, city blocks are being burned by night for no apparent reason, and it seems like no one loves America anymore. Up until today…
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…
