Even though an 8-year-old girl from Washington County is in the middle of a fight with cancer, she recently found time to show her 28-year-old brother how things are done when she rolled three turkeys with one shot. Not only has her older brother never checked this accomplishment off his bucket list, he’s never even…
Southern deer hunters take their outdoor pursuits very seriously. It’s no longer enough just to spend a few weekends a year in the deer stand to fill a tag or two. Today’s deer hunters spend countless hours over the course of a year scouting, running trail cameras and doing whatever they can to increase their…
Based on reports we’re hearing from across the state, it’s been a memorable turkey season in Georgia, to say the least. Many hunters had extra time in the woods because of the virus, lots of kids got more time in the woods with schools closed, and it seems like there were plenty of birds to…
