By Scott Barwick A few years ago at a local gym, I was walking on the treadmill and watching The Outdoor Channel to help pass the time when a stranger walked up behind me and started chatting with me about whatever outdoor show was on at the time. In this small talk, he mentioned growing…
By Ted Turner III I had not been free to hunt much over the last several years. I have a few photos of this buck from trail cams, but all of the photos came from after shooting hours. Even though the buck was nocturnal, at every free opportunity I had, I made my way to…
By Chris Palmer This journey starts well before the season came in. I noticed the bird from trail-camera photos and field observations the weeks leading up to the season. This gobbler ruled the area and would become my obsession during the season. Like most turkey hunters in Georgia, I wondered if the good breeding action,…
By Rosanna Beebe Opening day of the 2014 gun season saw very little activity on the food plot in front of me, except for the large rabbits that came to visit. As I sat there conjuring up possible recipes for their meat, my real hope was that a giant buck would step out at exactly…
By Rodney Simpson The morning temp was in the upper 30s, and it was clear. I had a 25-mile drive from my house to my hunting land. The heater in my old truck had quit working the year before, but I had worked on it, and I thought I had fixed it. It was a…

By Andy Hodges I put in tons of sweat equity in the early spring and summer mow- ing 6-foot-wide shooting lanes in two separate, over-grown pastures with my walk-behind brush cutter known as the “Billy Goat.” The pastures had about five years of growth since the last time they were bush-hogged and were full of…
By Donnie Price On Nov. 3, 2016, my son Jeremy got off the school bus with a larger-than-normal smile on his face. He and his little brother Jesse were headed to deer camp on the Talbot/Harris county line for a weekend hunt with me and their PaPaw. My goal for the weekend was to get…
By Rex Wallace First off, I didn’t even think I would be deer hunting opening weekend because my dad, uncle, cousin and I were on our annual bear hunt in north Georgia. However, after walking and scouting for several miles and several long hours around the mountain without seeing any sign, or bears, we went…
