Snow Days

School snow days for kids in the Deep South are as rare as magazine sweepstakes winners. You are probably familiar with the event. The magazine folks bring a giant $1,000,000 cardboard check to people’s doors with TV cameras in tow, obviously hoping the shock will cause the recipient to fall over dead so no money…

Letters To The Editor – January 2019

The First Time I Met Steve Burch     Dear GON, Sometime back in the mid 80s, my wife, Debbie, and I were camping on Victoria Landing at Lake Allatoona. Early one morning as we were walking on the shoreline, I spotted something floating about 75 yards away. I have had some experience as a…

Mentor Kids To The Outdoors

  The past several Outdoor Outpost columns have covered hunter participation and a growing concern that it has been dropping over the last 10 years. So what has changed? Why is it dropping? Well, for sure, it has a lot to do with what kids are doing with their free time. Homework from school should…

Conservation Law Enforcement Corner – January 2019

Effingham County: Whether you keep your hunting license on your phone app, or if you have a paper version in your wallet, stop what you’re doing right now and check to make sure you have a valid hunting license. And make a note of when it expires. Here’s another case of a big Georgia buck—one…

New Year’s Bucket List

It’s going to be a great year! Because I’m upright. As opposed to prone. I was prone for a brief bit in 2018. And prone, in case you’re wondering, ain’t much fun. Upright once more, it’s time to look forward to what we’ll be harrying, harvesting and dining upon over the course of the next…

Editorial: Steve Burch’s Retirement

What do you do with a guy who retires, but doesn’t leave, doesn’t fill up his cardboard box and drive off into the sunset? I moved him into a cubby-hole in the back of Production here at GON offices, gave him a flat, hard chair, and told him not to make too much noise. It…

Letters To The Editor December 2018

Protecting Smallmouth Bass     Dear GON, Georgia legislature sets length and creel limits on fishing. Georgia state code section 27-4-10 sets limits on spotted bass, which are competing with native smallmouth bass in places like Lake Blue Ridge in Fannin County, where a smallmouth stocking program has been started. Anglers should contact the politicians…

Don’t Overthink It!

You’d be surprised how many columns—like this one—I come up with while sitting in a Tom Cat climber. For instance, here I perch way up on this pine, see, silent and still. Glancing to the right, I  pick up movement… Does your mind wander? Well, it probably would if you’d put that stupid phone down.…
