Hunting
I was hunting in Gwinnett County on Sept. 28, 1997 at 7:10 p.m. when I finally got a shot. It was the first time I had been able to hunt this season. There is a small tract of land, about 40 to 50 acres in size, where I’ve seen a few deer and yearlings for…

Tom runs a wholesale furniture warehouse in Tucker. He as lived in Georgia since 1974 when his family moved to Albany, where Torn went to Albany…

The week before Paul Smith took the best Georgia buck of the 1993-94 season in Dodge County, Craig Walker, of McRae, was hunting a private lease in Telfair County, Dodge’s neighboring county to the east. Actually, Craig had decided to combine a quick scouting and hunting trip before work on the day prior to Thanksgiving.…
