Hunting
A messed-up crossbow right before bow season started meant that Nicki Johnson, of Jefferson, had to borrow one from her friend, musician Brantley Gilbert. “Brantley and I grew up together, so I ran to his place to get his Raven crossbow the evening before our hunt. She practiced with it and got it zeroed in,” said…
These days, the discovery of a fine old trophy whitetail in Georgia from yesteryear is about as rare as finding an honest politician. But it does still happen, and it’s always exciting to see what history has yet to uncover. When I got a phone call from Warren Wright telling me he had an old…
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, J. Strom Thurmond Project, Forest, Fish, and Wildlife section have set the dates for primitive weapons deer hunts in Bussey Point Corps Management Unit, located in Lincoln County. The first 100 hunters to arrive each day will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis. Archery hunters are invited…
A 5 1/2-year-old Harris County buck netting 157 4/8 inches is Georgia’s No. 2 typical bow buck taken last season. The hunter, Tyler Jordan with Realtree, had been watching the main-frame 12-pointer for three years before finally taking him with his Hoyt RX-7 bow on Oct. 18. “I love traveling the country and hunting…
We’ll get right to the pink elephant in this years’s GON’s WMA Bow Special. I can’t say for certain because I wasn’t a yellow fly in the Spanish moss, but it’s highly unlikely that five bowhunters took 23 deer over the course of archery season on Sapelo Island WMA last year, giving it what’s currently…
The 2022-23 season has tallied up 99 record-book bow bucks, the second-most ever recorded in a single season of Georgia hunting. There’s a chance that as a few late bucks trickle in this fall and winter we could exceed the 2020-21 record season of 111 record-class bow bucks. The state map to the right represents…
We are super thankful for the dedicated and longtime sponsors of Truck-Buck and the relatively new sponsors that came on board in the past several seasons. Make no mistake, without these folks, the Truck-Buck contest would not be returning for an amazing 35th season. Please support the companies and people who support GON and…
As a young ’un, I remember watching my grandfather and wanting to be everything he was. He was a good man. He had a true passion, one that drove him far more than the outdoors. He had faith in the Lord and through his passion, he was able to provide for our family. It…
The story of the Eastside 9 began way back in 2017. I was videoing my hunts off of a cheap camcorder back then, and I got some videos of a young buck. This young buck had obviously gone under a barbed wire fence or something because he had a section of fur missing on his…
The story of Hook is one that starts years back. Hook first showed up on my camera in 2019 as a 2.5 year old. He got his name because his main beams hooked toward each other in the front. His rack looked the same every year after, it just grew bigger each year. In 2020,…
