Hunting
There are so many options and potential choices when it comes to what seed goes in the ground for a fall cool-season food plot. GON recently met up with Drew Denman of Pennington Seed to look at some great options from a company that was started right here in Georgia in Morgan County. See…
The Georgia woods hold a lot of secrets. Some of these secrets will be found out, while others may never. Many deer hunters have stories of the “one that got away” or of a big Georgia buck that they shot and never found. I am sure many hunters, especially bowhunters, have stories very similar to…
West Point: Level: Full at 635. Temp: 85-87 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Catfish: Ronnie Garrison spoke with catfish angler TR Clark, who said the spawn for blues is winding down. Some flatheads are also coming off the nest. Expect blue males to be hunting and hungry to rebuild their body weight. TR says, “This past weekend’s…
There’s something downright special about the Okefenokee Swamp… a certain air about it, if you will. In a world moving faster than it ever has, the Okefenokee seems to stand timeless and silent. The silence is only interrupted by the chirping of the many species of birds and the occasional bellow of an alligator that…
I’ve never been much on fishing state-park lakes. I know that’s a heck of a line to start a story profiling one, but hang with me. Some of my experiences on these lakes have involved long hours with little to no action, other than the occasional jet ski blowing by and nearing turning my kayak…

As I watched Annabel Wilson walk up and down a woods road that led into a Jefferson County cut corn field, I knew exactly where I would put a dirt-hole set. “That little tuft of grass right there,” I whispered to Mike Wilson, Annabel’s dad. A minute later, the confident 20-year-old wildlife student at Abraham…
