Allatoona: Level: 4 feet low. Temp: 71 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “Fishing Lake Allatoona in the month of November is a pretty awesome experience. Thirty to 40 fish days are not uncommon. This month fish are feeding, and we will see a good bit of schooling activity. As the water…
It took multiple shots with a muzzleloader and a well-trained tracking dog, but a very tough Wilkes County buck finally went down and was recovered on Oct. 20. The giant 32-pointer was taken by Kevin Marshall, of Bethlehem. “What most people will never believe is that this buck let me get four shots off at…
Leevi Alyea, of Lyons, shot a once-in-a-lifetime deer on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017 on his stepdad’s private property in Macon County. His giant buck weighed 236 pounds and green-scored 153 1/8 inches. The bruiser was Leevi’s first buck ever with a bow. The week before Leevi killed his buck, his stepdad got…
There’s been a flurry of added excitement as Georgians wait on Saturday’s firearms opener. We’re hearing an above-average amount of discussion regarding rut activity, as in mature bucks chasing or tending does already. “I saw some crazy stuff today (Oct. 16), a big 12-point buck was chasing a doe,” Donnie Stanford left on the GON…
My granddaddy’s name was William Howard Jones, and he was an avid fisherman and hunter. He had several self-imposed nicknames, his favorite being “Wataski.” He frequently and playfully referred to himself as this distinguished nickname since the time he bagged a huge 10-point buck and then soon after caught a 10-lb. bass. He was a…
November is a great time to go bass fishing. Fish are feeding up for winter, they are on predictable patterns and boat traffic is way down. That last one may be the most important factor at Lanier. Magnum spots are feeding heavily, and you can fish all day without getting washed off the lake by…
Ricky Barrett just caught not only the biggest blue catfish he’s ever seen, but the monster turned out to be a brand-new rod-and-reel state-record blue cat, crushing the old state record by 13 pounds. Caught from the Altamaha River on Oct. 14, the behemoth catfish weighed 93 pounds on certified scales. While having fished all…
From the time that Browning Trail Cameras introduced the Strike Force series of cameras, they have been one of the most popular game camera series on the market. So it makes sense that as the company has grown, so would the line of Strike Force sub-micro cameras. So for 2017, they have introduced the impressive…
My birthdays qualify me as “middle age.” I’ve been fortunate to spend nearly 40 years doing my two favorite things: deer hunting and flying airplanes. As a pilot, we have many safety-mined adages. For example, we pilots say, “There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there aren’t many old, bold pilots.” Another…
Arthur Woody was the most famous forest ranger ever to refuse to wear a uniform. Born in 1884 near Suches, in the heart of Georgia’s “high country,” legend tells us that he witnessed his father kill the last living deer in Fannin County around 1895, when Arthur was 10 years old. In 1912, Arthur was…
