Beginning Sept. 14, thousands of bowhunters will enter the Georgia woodlands in hopes of arrowing a whitetail deer. Some will be successful, most will not, and a few will suffer the agony of sticking a deer and not being able to recover it. Drawing blood but not finding a deer is one of the most…
It’s easy. To think that it’s easy, that is. Why, these pages are fair packed with rocking-chair-racked whitetails almost every month. And we all know of the rookie—or his wife—who nearly tripped over the trophy of a lifetime and hauled it home in a pal’s pickup. Nothing to this big buck business, right? David Shepard…

I feel compelled to share my testimony of a transformative weekend that unfolded last season in the heart of Troup County with 30-30 Ministries and hosted by Shayne Goddard with the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes. It was an experience that not only strengthened the bond between a father and his daughter but also illuminated the beauty…
It happened again last season… a longtime GON subscriber killed a huge buck that would have won a Truck-Buck week, only to find out his subscription had expired. Renew now! Truck-Buck is back for the 36th straight year—a testament to the GON community and the sponsors who again stepped up to provide Georgia deer hunters…
