In the third part of our sit down with this year’s Georgia Kayak Bass Fishing State Champion, Jason Alford shares his Day 2 experience on the Chattahoochee River. “We were allowed to launch at 6:30 a.m. It was dark, very dark,” said Jason. “Trying to fish a section of the river I didn’t know in…
I was lucky to have a number of days off during the Christmas holidays. So after the chaos that comes along with presents, family gatherings, bowl games and way too much food, I decided to take a couple of days and escape to the mountains. I was looking for something new. After a few quick…
By Robert Nash After four long years of waiting, it happened. I was able to finally catch up to one of the elusive black bears that roam the forests of Cohutta WMA up close to Ellijay. Every year around the first full week of bow season, me and my buddy Reece Abernathy head up to…
When I was younger, summer was my favorite season of the year. No school and a trip to the beach made it the clear winner. I’ve been out of school for more than 30 years now, I lived at the beach for five years, and I haven’t had a spring break since 1988. Summer has…
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…

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…
Thanksgiving break is about a number of things for our family. One of those things is some time away from sounds and gadgets as we escape to the woods.
