Most of us were taught growing up that practice makes perfect. For most things in life, this is pretty sound advice, but when it comes to bowhunting, not all practice is equal. There was a time, not too long ago, when archery practice consisted of a couple of square bales of straw and a paper…
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.

Much of the support begins on a personal level. Most of us probably go to church with, have kids on the same…
With the July 31 deadline for alligator quota-hunt applications nearing, some GON readers have already discovered changes to WRD’s online application process. Before you apply for any online quota hunt this year, you’ll need to jump through a few easy hoops that are designed to make life easier for those who apply for quota hunts…
The DNR Board approved the proposed regulations changes put forth by the Wildlife Resources Division (WRD), and the result is one statewide deer-season length for hunters across the state. The Northern Zone and Southern Zone—forever a fixture in the Georgia deer-hunting regulations—are still there, but now they only apply to the baiting regulations. Baiting is…
When it comes to setting hunting regulations, it’s quite impossible to please everyone. Based on reaction to proposed changes to next year’s Georgia deer season, quite a few groups are far from pleased. Small-game hunters aren’t happy that the Northern Zone deer season would now stay open until the second Sunday of January. Meanwhile, Southern…
Northern Zone deer hunters being permitted to hunt after Jan. 1 just took another step toward becoming a reality. WRD just released their 164-page proposed hunting seasons and regulations package for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 hunting seasons. That complete document is available at http://georgiawildlife.com/Hunting/ProposedRegulations. Scroll down to a link that will take you to the…
