Scrapbook – June 2025

Martin Richter, of Odum, used a combination of stalk and hunt to harvest several hogs in an effort to help with an overpopulation of hogs for landowners.

A beautiful day on Lake Lanier was worth the trip, but it got even better for Greg King when he boated this big Lanier striped bass.

This Gwinnett County 8-pointer was killed with a bow on Jan. 26 during the extended archery season for suburban counties. Andrew Sudderth, of Duluth, got him at last light on his final hunt of the season.

Rachel Harrison, of Calhoun, harvested a Gordon County 8-pointer during the rut in 2023.

Public-land trophy! Jerry Ryan shot this 4 1/2-year-old 8-point buck during his second hunt on Rum Creek WMA.

Bud Doster, of Mt. Airy, landed a 4.52-lb. fish, his biggest spotted bass to date, while enjoying the sunset on Lake Lanier!

Sam Williams had his good-luck charm ready—his copy of GON—after rattling in an Emanuel County 11-pointer!

This gobbler came in hot on opening morning last year for Randy Wilkerson in Irwin County.

This 8-lb., 2-oz. bass was caught by Samuel Anderson in Wilkes County. What a hawg!

Benjamin Steele, of Monticello, caught this Putnam County catfish on a bream.
