Hunting
The John Deere tractor pulled up next to Isabel’s truck, and Jamie shut it off. Using an old wooden cane that had been in his grandmother’s house forever, he climbed down and limped over to the truck. He grabbed a bottle of water out of the cooler in the back. It was late afternoon. He…
The little flat I found was littered with acorns and surrounded by thicker woods. To top it off, there were fresh rubs and scrapes within sight of a concealed spot where I placed a pop-up ground blind the afternoon before I would return to hunt. Surely this would be the spot where a young teen…
It’s been an emotional time for Jeff Foxworthy and the crew at his Harris County farm. There was elation for everyone when on Sept. 25 Jeff arrowed a freak of a buck, a main-frame 4×5 with a couple of sticker points that’s been taped at 175 total inches.

To most young men who have an inherent zest for life, being born with Down syndrome would be considered a huge handicap. To 22-year-old David Saville, of Norcross, it’s been almost a blessing.

We don’t need any trouble from Skeeter Davis and his crowd. He hadn’t missed a beat since you’ve been gone… still up to his…
WRD Biologist Reggie Thackston gets a child-like grin on his face when you talk about good dog work and a south Georgia covey rise on a cold morning. Along with enjoying a good quail hunt, Reggie has been instrumental in the state’s success of its Bobwhite Quail Initiative program. He contacted GON a few weeks…
Each year, WRD works hard to plant public dove fields for Georgia hunters. The big question this year is how has all the rain affected these fields.
