There’s no comfort food like meatloaf and mashed potatoes. With venison, you do not get the grease you do with cow burger, and the meat doesn’t hold together as well. So oatmeal and a little extra egg is needed as a binder. The good thing is, this adds another depth of flavor to your meatloaf.…
It wasn’t the news Jay Crouch, of Eatonton, wanted to hear on a December afternoon. His wife’s grandmother called to say there appeared to be a deer floating in her 3-acre pond, which sits on property where Jay and his son, Ethan, 10, hunt. In fact, they’d been hunting a big one all year. “I…
Need an example of how antler production can be affected by injuries, look no further than the crazy non-typical rack on this three-legged Clay County buck killed by David Herold, of Crawfordville, Fla., on Nov. 21. It’s going to be interesting to see how a scorer will stretch and bend the tape to come up…
It was a typical late Tuesday afternoon for Rhonda Peppers, of Bostwick. It was Nov. 2, and she had come home from work and planned to do some afternoon housework. Her son, Dylan, was 3 miles away in a deer stand, and her husband, Donald, was getting in his truck to head off to work.…

Blaine Burley, of Wrightsville, has been president of Woods-N-Water for 15 years. Blaine has a…

If it were me, I’d be real curious how the guys who killed good ones last year put their heavy-racked, rut-crazed bucks in the dirt.…
In this age of instant information from emails and text messages, it’s common for the folks at the GON office to receive lots of photos of giant bucks supposedly killed in Georgia. Most are photos we’ve seen dozens of times of bucks actually from Kansas, Texas or some other state. We don’t get overly excited…
At the first glance, we thought we had the undeniable proof of cougars we have been looking for in our year-long cougar quest, but DNR officials have since pointed out a couple elements in these photos that leave species identification open for doubt. This series of photos was captured by Drew Atkins, of Franklin, on…
