Predator Hunting
One afternoon, my son and I drove through a WMA. Canals paralleled both sides of the road. We spotted a large dark long-tailed animal crossing the road about 75 yards ahead of us. Both of us immediately said “cat!” I stepped on the gas. Seconds later, we reached the spot where the long-tailed black animal…
WRD is once again allowing coyote and hog hunting with big-game weapons May 16-31 on most WMAs. In fact, you can consider a WMA open for this special season unless stated otherwise in the hunting regulations booklet. “The May season is a direct response to hunter desires—they want a chance to use big game weapons…
What’s a dead coyote worth? Depends on who you ask, and how you define worth. In GON’s Coyote Cull, a dead yote could win you a rifle, $500 cash or a $210 trapping package. We love dreaming up ways to give y’all stuff, but the purpose of the Coyote Cull is to keep coyotes on…
May and June in the Georgia woods means fawns are being born, hens are sitting on turkey nests, and coyotes are picking them off. To give sportsmen a little incentive to do some coyote control, GON’s 6th annual Coyote Cull is back this May and June. For the 2019 Coyote Cull, we are offering three…
Coyotes love cats — and not for the same reason the crazy cat lady down the street loves them. Coyotes love to eat cats. And based on the number of coyote-cat encounters that end terribly bad for the cats, apparently domesticated felines that are let outside of their comfy human homes make a fairly easy…

A paramedic instructor and an ambulance service supervisor, Michael is passionate about having the most wildlife possible on the 4,000 to 5,000 acres his friends and family either own or allow…
I enjoy reading articles about trappers who have found a way or technique that really works for them. Lots of trappers have written books about trapping, some of which cover the basics while others go into great detail about specific sets or baits to use. Trapping videos are a great way to relax and spend…
By Martin W. Duke and Renee Nolan Fall is here, and the excitement wards off any chill that may greet us when we first step from our homes in the predawn darkness. The challenge of getting an arrow through Mr. Wile E. was memorable while combining our fawn distress calls to also attract a nanny…
After months of anticipation, deer season is upon us yet again. Soon enough, hot summer days will give way to cool fall mornings and nearly every Georgia hunter will have big bucks and backstraps on the brain. However, Joe Morris, of Waycross, has a different agenda during the fall hunting season. While other hunters focus…
