Hunting
Of all the outdoor experiences my mother, now 86, enjoyed the most, it was watching a cork disappear as a slab crappie grabbed the minnow at the end of the line. As is normal procedure, I check in on her every few days, and she wanted to know what I’d been doing. “Catching crappie,” I…
Tom Hunt has been a friend of GON for about as long as there’s been a GON. He’s appeared in the magazine quite a few times with big bucks, going back to the days when he was a key member of the TMI club in Talbot County. TMI stood for Trophy Management Inc., a tract…
Carl Logan Jr. was primary among a handful of men who, if it were not for them, there likely wouldn’t be a GON today. Carl was a fellow member at Marietta Bassmasters, a close friend, and an original investor who helped Steve Burch when Steve first started GON in the late 1980s. Just as Volume…
Producing big bucks on small tracts of land is a rewarding process. On this particular 136-acre tract of land in Jefferson County, producing a monster whitetail buck turned out to be extremely rewarding. I have been managing this piece of property, along with several other small tracts of land for Woods-N-Water services, for a little…
As game managers and researchers try to figure out why wild turkey populations seem to be suffering in many areas of the Southeast, the state of South Carolina is taking action, namely by restricting hunting opportunity and bag limits. The hope is that more gobblers still around to breed hens during the nesting season will…
Haden High, 17, of Camilla, had a moment on Dec. 8 while in the Worth County deer woods that he’ll probably never have again, and certainly one won’t soon forget. Haden came across two bucks with their antlers locked together, and one of them was still alive. “It was an ordinary day,” said Haden. “I…
A stolen title for this blog from Riley Green’s hit song, “I wish Grandpas never died.” Such a simple line, but oh so true. Both of my grandpas have gone on to be with the Lord, and it’s hard not to miss them, especially right here around the holidays. They both managed to have an…
A monster Georgia buck has been killed, a 17-pointer with crazy thick mass and tines that look more like tree branches than antler points—including one growing out of its cheek right behind its eye. Clay Crawford has known about this buck since 2017 when he started getting trail-camera photos of the deer on the Early…
Christmas is all but here. Have you done your shopping yet? What do the kids want this year? What about you? Got any ideas for me? I picked out a few things that I like when I’m roaming around and researching for my blog Camp, Hike The Southeast. I fancy myself as a decent home…
At the December 2019 meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissioners approved draft rule changes for 2020-2021 related to FWC-managed areas and hunting. Proposed rule changes will be considered for final adoption at the February 2020 Commission meeting. One new proposal would require all hunters who use dogs to hunt for deer, hog, fox…
