Not every hunter is afforded the opportunity of thousands of acres of land to hunt. The rest of us have to do our best with what we have access to. Fortunately, this does not necessarily mean that we will have any less success than someone with more land. With hard work, patience and a little…
The managed hunts for Cumberland Island National Seashore have been cancelled for the October, November and December dates. The cancelled hunts are the Oct. 22-23 Adult-Child gun hunt, and the Nov. 7-9 and Dec. 5-7 primitive-weapons hunts. “Due to extensive damage from Hurricane Matthew, we do not feel the island’s hunt zone and hunt camp…
It’s finally going to feel like fall for Georgia deer hunters who hit the woods for opening morning of the firearms deer season tomorrow, Oct. 22. Chilly winds will have leaves—and acorns—raining from the trees, and Georgia deer hunters across the state will be hoping for some opening-day magic. In many counties, that magic better…
A ban on all hunting and recreational archery shooting could come as a result of a proposed ordinance that will be discussed at a Peachtree Corners City Council meeting tonight, Oct. 18.

GON freelance writer Hunter Galloway, 17, of Dallas, accomplished this newsworthy task on Saturday morning, Oct. 1 while hunting a newly…
A series of upcoming U.S. Forest Service meetings will determine whether or not parts of the Chattahoochee National Forest (CNF) will receive much needed habitat management. Proper timber management would boost and stabilize animal and bird populations, including deer and turkey, which have been impacted by a “hands-off” approach championed by environmental groups who want no timber…
