As we crank out yet another GON WMA Special, I’m not entirely convinced that people read anymore. I think we live in a society of scrollers, those who exercise their index finger night after night on the couch looking for anything on a cell phone they believe is worth briefly stopping on. Now, for those…
Long ago they had named the club ‘Coon Dog Cemetery’ to honor the legendary dogs, hounds with names like Run-Around Sue, Ol’ Rip, Kentucky Mike and Wrong-Way Pete. Dogs that had found their final resting place in a small, sacred plot of ground at one end of the property. Over the years, as the deer…
Fate often plays an important role in the outcome of notable happenings in our lives. So much so that when we look back, it sometimes appears as though some strange force has carefully laid out a pre-determined series of events. The end results seem almost predictable. Despite the mystery of it all, this turned out…

The weather man was calling for a steady east wind with temps in the mid 80s. The date was Oct. 19, the day before opening of gun season last year. I had a spot in mind to go try that I felt might hold a good buck, and the east wind was perfect. I left…
We are now just weeks away from the 30th annual Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. Thirty years! That’s a fleet of John Megel pickup trucks GON has given away to Georgia deer hunters, and enough Browning deer rifles and Mathews bows to fill the beds off all those trucks. Eighteen weekly winners and four wildcard qualifiers are headed…
We have our winners from the drawing for the 6th annual GON Coyote Cull. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, we were able to give away some great prizes, while continuing efforts to raise awareness about the changes that coyotes have brought to the Georgia woods. Make sure to support these sponsors if you…
