Bonus Scrapbook – September 2016

GON subscriber William Loyd, of Atlanta, killed this tall-tined 9-pointer last Dec. 18 while hunting Greene County. The buck showed at 3:30 p.m.

Last season was off in Sumter County for Debra Sloan, of Americus. “Not seeing hardly any deer at all,” she reported. This 9-pointer helped the situation when he showed up on Nov. 9.

Bishop’s Michele Moorehead with her Oglethorpe County 11-pointer taken last season on Oct. 31. “I was so excited. This is my second buck ever, and boy was he a good one,” said Michele.

Scott Mattox, of Jesup, took this Pierce County gobbler on family property last April 23. The bird had a beard that measured 14 1/4 inches, it weighed 20 pounds, and the gobbler had 1-inch and 1 1/16-inch spurs.

When you’re fishing a pond using 4-lb. line, the last thing you expect to hook and land is a 60-lb. fish! That’s what Scotty Yawn did last May while fishing a pond in Bulloch County near Brooklet. That’s an armful of grass carp.

Desiree Moore, of Eastman, with her Dodge County gobbler taken on May 14 last season. The gobbler had a 10 3/4-inch beard and 1-inch spurs.

GON subscriber Derrick Norton, of Eastville, shot this 140-lb. sow on Aug. 6, on his brother Chris Posey’s birthday, while hunting in Elbert County.

Congrats to Andy Flournoy on his first deer—a super buck taken in Jefferson County last Nov. 1. Last season was only the Grovetown hunter’s second season of deer hunting.

Wanda Johnson caught this 60-lb. catfish from a private pond in Mt. Airy, in Habersham County, on June 7.
