First and foremost, GON makes a magazine. We’ve been at it for 37 years. Quite a bit has changed and we’ve weathered some storms since that first tabloid-newspaper style GON hit the store racks with a cover picture from a West Point crappie tournament. The storm of the century began as barely a ripple in…
In September 2022 I flew out to Kalispell, Mt., picked up my rental car, and drove toward Two Medicine Campground, hoping I’d be lucky enough to claim a campsite. I arrived just in time to snag the last available site. Whew. Time to relax and get some rest after a 15-hour day of travel. I…
I rarely set out on a camping trip between Easter and Labor Day. I am a tent camper and frankly, it’s too darn hot for my liking in the summer. However, I made an exception last week after reading about the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky. I poked around on the internet and Koomer…
It’s June 2 when I wake up in my tent at Koomer Ridge Campground in Pine Ridge, Kentucky. This is something new for me. Yes, I camp often, I hit several campgrounds every year, but I can’t remember the last time I set up a tent after Memorial Day. Yet, here I am. As I’m…
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.

Go big or go home. That’s all good and well, great advice. Unless, of course, the impacts of going home are far worse than the potential rewards of going big. Stating the obvious there, but there seems to be an ever-escalating ‘at all costs’ mentality in all walks of life. A young hunter seems desperate…
There is much to be learned from an old, wooden deer stand that speaks of another lifetime. I must admit that I just have an admiration for the way things used to be. I can’t help it. I will forever think that (most of) the older ways are better, and you will never convince me…

In three and half decades of making outdoor magazines in Georgia, I can’t remember the idea of a group of politicians getting together that has me more interested—and fearful—than a House of Representatives Study Committee that will be meeting this summer. If you own land in Georgia with a stream or river flowing through your…
