By David Waters I wanted to send some pictures of my daughter’s first turkey taken on the Hugh Gillis PFA turkey quota hunt in Laurens County on March 28, 2020. I don’t know for sure, but it might be the first turkey taken on the quota hunt since it’s had a 0% success rating for…
By Richey Burge January 5th was not a day I would have handpicked for a trophy buck to be taken. It was cloudy, cold and windy, a far cry from the clear October days when our deer hunting is at its best. But as any sportsman knows, success often occurs in the most inexplicable of…

I find myself sitting at the dining room table, computer screen aglow in front, fireplace aglow on my left, (but with considerably more warmth to it), and three mounted bucks a-glowering down at me from the den wall to my right. Or maybe they’re gloating instead of…
Jesse Payne, a 33-year U.S. Forest Service employee and veteran deer hunter, couldn’t believe what had just happened. Jesse had climbed almost to the top of Slaughter Mountain and had just shot at and missed the biggest buck he had ever seen. Jesse was slowly making his way to the top of the mountain when…
A new No. 2 buck has officially been registered for Laurens County, a giant, clean 10-pointer taken by Stevie Drew, of Cadwell, on Nov. 14, 2020. The deer grossed 168 5/8 inches and netted down less than 3 inches to 165 7/8. “I thought I had missed the deer, he didn’t flinch or anything but…
