Hunting
Updated Tuesday, Nov. 20: GON spoke with DNR Law Enforcement Cpl. Greg Wade, the officer who confiscated the giant, 204-inch, Worth County bow-kill taken by Ragan Paramore, 17, of Doerun. Cpl. Wade seized the deer rack from Paramore’s home on Thursday, Nov. 15 after ticketing him for hunting without a hunting license and hunting without a…
Frank Pritchard chased big bucks across Georgia for most of his adult life. He began practicing trophy management long ago before it was the “in” thing to do. Fifty years ago, Frank shot a massive non-typical buck in Jasper County that sported a rack with 22 points. By every standard, it should have qualified for…
Here’s the story of the typical-framed velvet 15-pointer with more than 190 inches of total antler from south Fulton County. GON had been aware of this amazing buck since soon after it was killed on opening day of bow season, and we were able to talk to the hunter this morning to get the story. …
Thirty seconds passed as the buck stared at Mike and Keith, frozen like a statue in the middle of the road. He looked strong and healthy, well on the way to recovering from his gun-shot wound, despite it only being a few weeks since he was hit. Finally, he flipped his tail and bounded off…
Georgia’s 16th alligator season is now in the books. We reached out to WRD’s alligator expert Greg Waters to see how the season went, and he reported that the season numbers had yet to be crunched, and he didn’t make a comment on how he thinks the overall season may have fared. However, 2018 hunters…
Despite being wheelchair bound and having endured 34 surgeries, James McNeal, 12, of Kathleen, can mark “First Deer” off his bucket list. James tried killing a deer last year—which even included a hunting trip to Texas— but the magic moment happened this season on Saturday, Nov. 3 in Emanuel County while hunting with his father, Tom,…
There’s a question mark with that subhead because, while that’s the most prevalent report we are hearing about this Georgia deer season, it literally can vary from county to county. That’s why we have such a good group of Hunt Advisors spread across the state to give timely reports. NORTH GEORGIA Cherokee County: Tim Dangar,…
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. Jenifer Fuqua, of Cartersville, has been sitting for countless hours in the tree alongside her husband, Dewayne, hoping to shoot her first deer…
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…
