A picture of me with the first deer I ever killed appeared in our local newspaper. Not because that 9-pointer was newsworthy, but more so because I had a proud and persuasive mom. The headline was “Young Hunter Shoots Buck.” This was in 1978, and being in a small-town paper was special. I was a…
I’m really not sure how he does it year after year now. It is hard enough for me to get a glimpse of a mature buck when I am hunting by myself, but somehow my friend can put his THREE kids on great bucks (and turkeys)… and get them all ethical shots at their targets.…
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.…
Romans 8:28: We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, and are called according to His purpose. I will start by saying that whether I get the chance to shoot these bucks or not doesn’t mean God loves me any more or less. All of my blessings are…
Is there still a Miss America pageant?

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” James 1:2-3 If you have ever spent a lot of time hunting whitetail deer in Georgia, then you have definitely faced trials. If you have spent time chasing one particular mature…

There’s an old saying I was raised around: “If mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.” Well, that pretty much holds true for a partnership between a hired trapper and a landowner, although I’m not too sure who plays mama more… I haven’t been trapping as long as most of the guys I’ve been blessed to meet…
About the only thing more difficult than pronouncing the word navigable is defining it. But define it we might. Lawsuits, unprecedented last-minute midnight action at the capitol, and now public meetings across the state conducted by a who’s-who of legislative heavyweights… all are currents pulling a creaky old wooden raft toward treacherous waters. Those waters…
