The first time I ever heard a turkey gobble from the back deck of my house was a cold, winter morning. The bird wasn’t on my property, but he was easy to hear, and I began to dream of the day I might kill a bird on my own property. The problem was, or so…

It was overcast and a little muggy, but I had just one day to hunt Georgia before hitting the road for Texas, then South Dakota. It was Donna’s birthday, and she had reminded me the…
Thirty-five years ago, the Chattahoochee River—along its course from the Medlock Bridge access site to the McGinnis Ferry Road Bridge in John’s Creek—is where I was introduced to Georgia trout fishing. With fly- and spin-fishing tackle, my buddies and I float-fished the riverway often and caught dozens of trout trip after trip through the northern…
The reports were as varied as the weather this week. The best reports came from ponds and the Okefenokee Swamp. Saltwater was hit-and-miss. The southeast Georgia rivers are still high but are falling now that the leaves have budded out and the trees are pulling more water. St. Marys River: The Temple Landing is currently…
