A Gut Pile, Hawk & Bald Eagle

That ol’ trail camera on a gut pile trick… you never know what you’re going to get. You’re much more likely to get a bunch of vultures or coyotes than several pictures of a bald eagle, including one as the eagle postures in defense while a hawk flies by! Noah Csuka got these photos in Jackson County on Nov. 28.

Where’s GON?

When a GON hat travels, it might just make Where’s GON.

Newnan’s Joe Hood said, “Me and my youngest son along with seven other guys from his church all got to go to Yakutat, Alaska on a salmon fishing trip. We saw moose, bears and lots of bald eagles. We didn’t catch as many as we had hoped for, but it was still a great trip. I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me, but me and both my sons are planning to go back. Oh, by the way, they are delicious.”
