There is a Catch 22 going on. We need to understand it, and fix it. The catch is that politicians are working at cross purposes regarding hunting, and we are in the middle of a political crossfire that will likely leave us the only victim if we don’t act. Last week, the Georgia Senate passed…

GON has published articles about the facts of the selling of land that for years has been “industrial forest land” and hunting club or WMA land. Below is a first-person eulogy of just such change. It touched me. I am pleased…
That New Year’s resolution sure didn’t last long, did it? Hey, it’s only February, and you’ve already fallen off the “I’m gonna lose 50 pounds bandwagon” haven’t you? I know the feeling. But don’t fret; As always, I have a solution. What you need is to be purchased by an Old Cuss. Oh, they don’t…
