Hunting
Those record fall flight numbers from the feds don’t mean much for most Georgia duck hunters. It’s going to be wood ducks if it’s a successful morning in the swamp. Still, with record numbers of mallards, gadwall and teal heading south, maybe a flock will stray off and migrate right to my duck hole. The…
Three years of no success is enough to drive even the most dedicated of hunters out of the woods and onto other things. However, I suppose some things are worth the wait.

Quinton Burch, of Eatonton, may reside in Putnam County, but he’s interested in moving Hancock County up on GON’s Best Counties For A Big Buck list. Quinton certainly did his part after knocking down a typical, Hancock County 10-pointer on Oct. 27 that grossed 158 2/8 inches and won’t have much for side-to-side deductions. The unofficial…
Pamela Poteet, of Georgetown, killed a Quitman County heavy-weight 9-pointer—215 pounds—that has been taped at 158 4/8 total inches.

On the morning of Oct. 21, Pamela said the weather…

When he shot the deer, it…
On the morning of Oct. 22, Jason Carter, of Glennville, killed an 18-point buck in Evans County that grosses in the mid 170s. The buck is a main-frame 10-pointer with more than 14 inches of abnormal sticker points. “I got in there about 4:30 and waited on daylight,” said Jason, 38, who began hunting when…
On the evening of Oct. 20, Andy Womack, of Acworth, killed a 17-point buck that has been taped with a gross score of 183 inches. Andy was hunting on a club in Meriwether County when he shot the amazing buck. It was opening-day afternoon of gun season, and Andy and his son were hunting a…
On Monday, Oct. 15, Jason Lee, of Waycross, managed to arrow what is certain to be the new Ware County record bow-kill. Hard work, long hours on the stand, and according to Jason, some last-minute luck all came together to bring down the legendary deer that had been nicknamed Flame. Here’s the story of how…
Rusty Robbins, of Sylvania, should have the new No. 1 bow-kill from Screven County after knocking down a main-frame 10-pointer that grosses 173 4/8 inches. A number of kicker points will bring the net score down some, but they add character to the buck’s remarkable rack. Rusty has been hunting since he was a young…
