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. The sweeping pandemic has changed our daily lives. Quickly at that. Hand sanitizer, Lysol disinfected spray and Clorox wipes disappeared from shelves quicker than a chicken…
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…

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…
Imagine if one person had the power to get you kicked off your hunting property. What if one anti-hunting, anti-gun neighbor moved in and had the ear of the right official and succeeded in getting an ordinance passed that banned you from hunting your own property? Just one person who is just good enough at…
I rode by an old closed-down video store in my hometown the other day, and I couldn’t help but think of how just 10 or 15 years ago, the place was really booming. They literally had thousands of choices of movie titles, the manager was friendly and knew you by name, and the prices were…
