Editorial-Opinion October 2005

There are special times when everything fits exactly right for things to work out, and I seem to have once again been extremely lucky. Now there is real hope for sportsmen. Two issues have brought this hope into focus. The first is the action of the Georgia House of Representatives Special Committee on supplemental feeding,…

Piercing Ideas For Sportsmen

If ever there was a relentlessly un-hip rascal dragged kicking and screaming into the methods, madness and modes of today’s society, that’d be me! I was signing books a few weeks back down at Bass Pro Shops in Savannah, and every once in a great while I’d simply stop, look around and feel like it…

Editorial-Opinion September 2005

Hunting season in Georgia is just beginning this year and we should note this beginning because this may be last time hunting season begins this way again. There is a House study committee holding hearings about whether hunting over feed carried to the field is legal for deer. If it is legal for deer, then…
