Hunting
I experienced something on Sunday, Dec. 16 that I bet most deer hunters have never seen before. There was a group of 20 or so of us winding down from a weekend of deer and hog hunting with 30-30 Ministries in Houston County. Our five Camper kids had done well, taking two bucks, three does…
“Cochran, you just need to kill a deer.” Those were the words that Brad Gill spoke in our discussion about me not being sure if I was ever going to sit in my spacious blind again. It was difficult for me to come to terms that I injured a buck and was not able to…
Some WMA turkey hunting regulations are being proposed on a newly acquired 7,000-acre tract of dirt in Marion County. The Hilliard Plantation Tract is part of the Chattahoochee Fall Line (CFL) WMA, which includes three other tracts: Almo (6,700 acres), Fort Perry (2,100 acres) and Blackjack Crossing (1,600 acres). The Hilliard Plantation Tract was brand new…

He was buried in his camo shirt and work overalls with a cigar in his pocket. If he’d had his way, they probably would have buried him with his 50-year-old Willys Jeep that still runs like a charm. John Roy Brackett, of Cisco, well-known locally for his lifetime of hunting exploits, passed away quietly at…
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…
Georgia is truly blessed to have one of the very best trout fisheries on the east coast. From the creeks of Savannah to the marsh down in St. Mary’s, trout are plentiful and plain fun to catch. From April to mid-December, limits can be had by slinging jigs to creek mouths or soaking shrimp under…
Duck season preparations for us in Talbot County begin in May as soon as the last of the turkey gobbles are heard in the morning fog. When the leaves are fresh and thick on the trees, we know it is time to start planting our duck fields. We have a 12-acre bottom that is filled…
