Hunting
By Chad Bilotti God is good! We had pictures of this buck since June, but they were all at night. We stopped feeding the first week of December where we had all the pictures in hopes the buck would move to our back field where we had another feed station. After checking cameras, this buck…
I took the biggest buck of my life the third week of November this season. I wish I could tell you the story of how I’ve been scouting this buck for years. How I learned his patterns and tendencies, about how then one late afternoon I saw my window of opportunity and seized it. But…
Tom Hunt has been a friend of GON for about as long as there’s been a GON. He’s appeared in the magazine quite a few times with big bucks, going back to the days when he was a key member of the TMI club in Talbot County. TMI stood for Trophy Management Inc., a tract…
Producing big bucks on small tracts of land is a rewarding process. On this particular 136-acre tract of land in Jefferson County, producing a monster whitetail buck turned out to be extremely rewarding. I have been managing this piece of property, along with several other small tracts of land for Woods-N-Water services, for a little…
Haden High, 17, of Camilla, had a moment on Dec. 8 while in the Worth County deer woods that he’ll probably never have again, and certainly one won’t soon forget. Haden came across two bucks with their antlers locked together, and one of them was still alive. “It was an ordinary day,” said Haden. “I…

Proposed rule changes will be considered for final adoption at the February 2020 Commission meeting. One new proposal would require all hunters who use dogs to hunt for deer, hog, fox…
It’s back! The book Georgia’s Greatest Whitetails is returning. For those of us who remember, it’s hard to believe it’s been almost 35 years since Duncan Dobie’s first-ever book came out in 1986. Sportsmen fell in love with the detailed deer-hunting stories, written to showcase the legendary bucks and the hunters in a style that’s…
By early December, most every deer hunter who has put in the seat time throughout the season begins to feel that hunting energy diminish. The peak of the rut might be over in your neck of the woods. The deer, and especially mature bucks, are back to being nocturnal creatures that don’t even offer daytime…
Thanksgiving is always a special time for family outings and get-togethers, but for Daniel Hunter, of Moultrie, this year’s holiday took on a special meaning when he received a deer hunting invitation from a relative in Calhoun County.
