Hunting
Hopefully you’ve put some venison in the freezer, and maybe there’s a buck at the taxidermist. Whether you were successful in the deer woods this season or not, certainly some memories were made during the time you spent in the woods. The January issue of GON means it’s time Rate Your Deer Season, and it’s…
On the morning of Oct. 28, Karl VanVoorhis, of Harlem, killed two mature, heavy-racked bucks on Fort Gordon in Richmond County about 10 minutes apart. “I got set up 45 minutes before shooting light. It’s a great morning, and everything is perfect,” said Karl. “About 15 minutes after sunrise, I hear two bucks fighting. They…
It ain’t quite over, but we’re about to put a period on another Georgia deer season. For us at GON, by the end of November it feels like our deer season might last forever. Then one day you look up, and the Truck-Buck entries stop coming in, and so do the emails and phone calls…
Larry Davie, of Waycross, went to check his hog trap and found six dead hogs in the trap, torn to pieces. “Glad I had the trail camera on the trap,” said Larry. Otherwise, he might not have known for sure what occurred on the Ware County hunting property. In the final trail-cam picture in a…
Some WMA turkey hunting regulations are being proposed on a newly acquired 7,000-acre tract of dirt in Marion County.

Duck season preparations for us in Talbot County begin in May as soon as the last of the turkey gobbles are heard in the morning fog. When the leaves are fresh and thick on the trees, we know it is time to start planting our duck fields. We have a 12-acre bottom that is filled…
As the memories begin to flow, so do a few tears; but like those recollections, they spring from joy. Eighty-nine-year-old Dent Newton can’t hold them back, and that’s OK. The big crowd on hand to honor the oldest member of Georgia’s oldest deer-dogging club has nothing but respect for this gentleman—a word that fits him…
The oldest son on a family of four boys, Gary Littlejohn grew up in Lamar County, just outside of Barnesville, in the tiny community of Milner. “Dinky,” as he was known to his younger brothers and friends, spent many a happy boyhood day roaming the woods in and around his home. According to his younger…
My grandfather has lived on a 10-acre tract of land for the past 40 years where my father pretty much learned how to hunt.
