Hunting
With unpredictable weather fronts this time of year, fishing can be iffy. There are, however, fish to be caught this time of year that can’t be caught any other time of year. We’re talking about striped bass, hickory shad and American shad. Specifically, the American and hickory shad are in the heart of their run…
More Support For A Hunter Supported, WRD Yote Bounty Dear GON, God bless America. I’m thankful we can still hunt here in America and worship freely. Everywhere I go, the talk I’m hearing is concern for the deer population because our fawn crop seems to be dwindling. We’ve seen less fawns during this past deer…

Each spring, GON likes to inspire hunters who can’t wait for the upcoming turkey season—as if we need any additional teasing—by looking back at exceptional Georgia gobblers that have made the record books. Some fantastic birds were taken last year that re-wrote the Georgia records, but it was a 2014 southeast Georgia bird finally certified…
The new Barnett Ghost 415 Revenant is a flagship crossbow from a company that’s been building and improving on crossbows with the needs of serious hunters in mind for 50 years. It’s a top-quality bow with custom composite laminated limbs capable of shooting a bolt 415 feet per second and delivering 153 foot-pounds of kinetic…
The lower Toccoa River’s waters flow from the depths of Lake Blue Ridge in north Georgia, creating a cold, clear tailrace river that has long sustained an outstanding trout fishery for a 15-mile stretch all the way to McCaysville. My long-time fishing buddy, George Montecino, and I have avidly fished the lower Toccoa River since…
The Hall of Shame column is designed to highlight the efforts of Georgia DNR Law Enforcement Division (LED) officers who, among their many duties, protect Georgia’s wildlife, sportsmen and natural resources from game-law violators. Franklin County: On Dec. 10, 2014, Cpl. Craig Fulghum received a call from another officer asking if he could respond to…
The sudden passing of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was for me a gut punch. It is worth noting that he was on a hunting trip in Texas at the time of his passing. When fully staffed, there are nine Justices on the court. This number tends to avoid a tie on weighty questions.…
Ever heard a 1930s radio news broadcast? Or watched a black-and-white news reel from that era? Announcer sounds like the microphone is crammed into one nostril, and he’s trying to squawk through the other. Believe it or not, at approximately 157 years of age, that same announcer is still around. Yeah, he does marine weather…
By the time the season was winding down last year, I found myself wondering not how many birds had died over the course of the Georgia season, but rather how many had survived it. According to WRD, I, along with 52,406 other turkey hunters hit the woods last spring, and 26,000 turkeys ending up leaving…
