Hunting
With deer season in full swing this month, many anglers trade rods for rifles in hopes of killing a big-horned buck… maybe even one that might end up getting them in the GON Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. However, when the crisp November fog clears each morning, you won’t find Tyler Bean in a deer stand. As a…
There’s an old saying I was raised around: “If mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.” Well, that pretty much holds true for a partnership between a hired trapper and a landowner, although I’m not too sure who plays mama more… I haven’t been trapping as long as most of the guys I’ve been blessed to meet…
There are dedicated bowhunters who hunt exclusively with a bow, even during gun season. It’s mostly because they like the greater challenge of hunting with a primitive weapon.

Smoked Venison Salad Spread You’ve probably prepared venison as a main dish, but it also makes a great appetizer. This salad spread is great served on finger sandwiches, Ritz crackers or vessel of choice. 2 lbs. smoked venison 3 cups Duke’s Mayonnaise 1 cup diced hard-boiled egg 1/2 cup diced onion 1/2 cup diced celery…
Georgia hunter Trey Claus accomplished something on opening morning of firearms season that few deer hunters ever will—and it’s not taking a Boone and Crockett buck. While nearly as rare, Trey harvested a whitetail doe with canine teeth in its upper jaw, a rare occurrence dating back to when the whitetail’s ancestor possessed large canines…
