Hunting
I once read that to kill a really good buck you first needed to find one. So, when I moved to middle Georgia near the massive Cedar Creek WMA in 1990, I realized that I had a chance to find one—well, at least a better chance than winning the lottery. Growing up hunting and fishing…
In those days we were green as grass and very naive as to the ways of big bucks, but what we lacked in experience we more than made up for in determination and the sheer love of hunting. The rolling farm property we were hunting 50 miles south of Atlanta was prime for seeing a…
Britney Cannon, of Macon, finally had some luck connecting with a buck her and her husband, Jason, had been after for two seasons. Last season, Britney’s family began leasing hunting land in Wilkinson County and quickly realized they had a trophy buck to pursue. “Last season I missed him because my bow got caught in…
By Logan Maddox After losing my grandpa early on Friday, I was kind of scared to go hunting the opening morning of muzzleloader season since he was the one who taught me so long ago. I knew I would feel his presence, and I didn’t know if I was ready. However, my 4-year-old son had…

When 11th grader Owen Osden left Richmond Hill High School on the afternoon of Sept. 21, his sights were set on getting to the deer stand as fast as he could. “I had to swing by and grab a bag of corn first, but I had been getting pictures of several good bucks for a…
By John Williams I am an avid outdoorsman and love documenting my hunts through filming and writing. I filmed this buck for three years before finally killing him on Oct. 2, 2022 during my closest encounter with him at 27 yards. He came in with a buck I missed the second day of the…
