GON created the Triple-Digit WMA Bucks list to recognize hard-working WMA hunters and the bucks they’ve killed. If you’ve got a WMA buck that you believe will net at least 100 B&C inches, get it scored by an official scorer, send us a copy of the score sheet, and we’ll add it to the list. Copies may…
Lake Seminole WMA is an enigma. The 8,635-acre WMA is a confusing patchwork of nine tracts with varying habitats.

It seems almost inevitable that at some point Georgia’s deer herd will be affected by Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). After cases in Alabama, Tennessee and North Carolina, Georgia has thus far dodged the CWD bullet, although the bullet seems to be hitting closer. A Georgia case hasn’t shown up yet, but a CWD positive…
The chance to hunt a new tract of land with great odds to take home some venison and possibly even a quality buck, or maybe get back on a dove field for the first time in a few years, or even a waterfowl hunt where mallards are a real possibility… these experiences are available to…
