I was recently telling an older fella about my boys catching bugs and frogs and crawfish and anything else in the outdoors that they could get their hands on. I was still laughing, just thinking of the fun they had, when the man said in a deep tone, “You know, that sure is good for…
Continuity is key. If not for familiarity and some ‘same-same’ in process, it would never be possible for GON’s crew to produce our monthly magazine along with all the other elements of this community—articles posting daily on the website, our email newsletter, the Outdoor Blast, keeping and compiling deer and fish records, and trying to…
Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed 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.…

That’s a monster buck killed at Piedmont Refuge a few weeks ago. If you didn’t see it, look back at the picture on page 48. It’s not the first time this historic piece of Georgia hunting dirt has thrown out a big buck, and I’m betting it won’t be the last. Like so often when…
Monika Stander killed a super 10-point buck in Peach County on Nov. 17, 2024 while bowhunting, and she had her 10-year-old son in the stand with her for the hunt. At about 5:30 p.m., the buck came in on a doe. Monika said the deer were moving in and and out of cover when she…
The dark, matching shed antlers rest on my fireplace mantle. Dust has accumulated on the tines from years of sitting in the house. They are not the largest set of sheds I have ever found, but they are some of the most special to me. They come from a time in my life when my…
