Editorial-Opinion December 2024

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’s 160-Inch Bow-Buck From Peach County

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…

Antlers On The Mantle

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…

190-Inch Middle Georgia 16-Point Bow Buck

“That deer’s going to be lucky to make it to 5.” That was a neighbor’s comment about the 5 1/2-year-old, 16-point buck killed on Friday, Sept. 27 by Matthew Hvizdzak. The buck came to the attention of Matthew and neighbors when it was 2 1/2 years old and already had an impressive rack as a…

Buck Experiment Reveals Daylighting Movement

Corn. It seems more and more are using it to hunt over or just to have at feeding stations. You can buy it in any town year-round. It’s affordable. It goes in feeders that can dispense for weeks. It can be stored for months. And boy does it attract deer. Baiting with corn is one…
