Hunting
By Dex Worley We all have that dream of killing our own buck of a lifetime. Everyone loves to watch the monsters on television, and I think a lot of hunters find themselves just wishing that one day it could happen to them. Listen to me my fellow hunters, I’m here to tell you it…
By Jerald McLeod I’ve been hunting this property for about 18 years. At one time there was around 380 acres of mature woods and cow pastures. The Towaliga River was the east side property line, and Thompson Creek was more or less the west side property line. There is a powerline on the north property…
I started bowhunting in 2009, and over the past few years I have gradually hunted more and more with my bow instead of my rifle. I ended up killing a young doe for my first bow-kill and missed another doe, but I really began to enjoy the challenge and the extra skill it took as…
I got a call late one night in November from a client saying he just saw a picture of a giant bow-kill from Fulton County.

The grand prizes in GON’s annual big-buck contest are certainly impressive—a new Chevy Silverado pickup truck and a Beast hunting buggy.

In those days, I wanted to be a deer hunter in the worst way. I read everything I could get my hands on about how to hunt bucks, but that was only half the battle. Back in the early ’60s, there were only a few places in Georgia to hunt deer, and they were…
A truck was left sitting at a brother’s house in the Atlanta area after this year’s Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. This year’s winner, Pete Boshart, didn’t think he had a chance to actually win the grand-prize truck in GON’s big-buck contest. He didn’t have a plan to get a new truck home if he did win. Well,…
Will Altman, 12, of Statesboro, wasted little time going to Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna with $3,000 in his pocket. Will was enjoying his big shopping spree less than 24 hours after winning GON’s Youth Big-Buck Contest Shoot-Out on July 24 at GON’s Outdoor Blast at the Gwinnett Center. For winning the Youth Shoot-Out, Will also…
