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…

Cody Gay, 16, of Nicholls, collected a $3,000 shopping spree from Adventure Outdoors after winning GON’s Youth Big-Buck Contest Shoot-Out on July 28 at GON’s Outdoor Blast. In addition, Cody won a dream deer and hog hunting trip with Woods-N-Water outfitters in Wilkinson County. Cody was the only one of 17 shooters who hit the…
I remember something the boss man once wrote about “what if there was no more GON?” We could certainly count thy ways where sportsmen would be hurt by the demise of this fine magazine and the crazy amount of content at GON.com. In particular, saying bye-bye to the August GON WMA Special would bring…
NOTE: This article is from 2023, so this year’s season dates will differ. Check the current Georgia Hunting Regulations for the most up-to-date information for Sapelo. Those who are not hunters have trouble comprehending that it is the experience of going hunting that motivates hunters. They wrongly assume that if no game was taken, hunters…
