Hunting
We were only a few minutes into legal shooting time when a shot rang out behind me. “What are you shooting at?” I exclaimed as I whirled around. “A duck,” Easton answers as he slips another shell into his 20-gauge Beretta A390. “Did you hit him?” I ask. “Yes sir,” he replies in a calm,…

Bob Chestnutt, of Ludowici, was deer hunting in Long County when a coyote that he shot turned into a moment where he thought he was in the middle of a sci-fi movie. “I shot this coyote on Oct. 29 while deer hunting in Long County,” said Bob. “When I walked up to him, I saw…
Fishing
Alright. This isn’t going to be a super-formal article, but instead, I genuinely hope to open your eyes and hearts and allow you to learn from my mistakes. I have been pacing back and forth in the kitchen for about three hours now, and I’ve finally found the fortitude to sit down and become somewhat…
Colt James has struck again, raising the bar on another GON Lake and River Record. If the 11-year-old’s name sounds familiar, it should. Colt currently possesses four record fish on three different south Georgia rivers. His latest catch is a 12.16-oz. redbreast that bested his previous river record he set on the river earlier this…
After spending a day on the water with three members of the Lake Oconee Striper Club (LOSC), it was obvious this club is all about serving people.

The Georgia Hunters for The Hungry (GHFTH) program gives hunters a great way to participate in getting venison—the ultimate high-protein, low-fat, organic meat—to those less fortunate. “There are a couple of months left in the deer season; if you’ve filled your freezer, you don’t have to stop hunting.

Divers went down at the dam at Clarks Hill to do repairs and came right back up. They said catfish as big as Volkswagens were down there and they would never go down there again. I heard that tale in the 1960s while in high school in Thomson. You can change it to pretty much any…
