Hunting Angels

A hunting angel. Do you have one? You may and never realize that you do. A hunting angel is that special person from your past who you talk to when you are in your deer stand. Or perhaps you are on the lake, and you aren’t sure which color topwater you should be using, so…

The Flip-A-Coin Buck

One Hunter, Two P&Y Bucks In Two Days

Most sportsmen wait months for hunting season to open, anticipating many days afield in pursuit of their passion. For one Georgia man, his buck hunting ended on opening weekend.

180-inch Henry County Buck No. 8 In Georgia Last Season

Anyone out there giving Gerald Gilbert, of McDonough, a hard time for his buck, which was listed as a pick-up in GON’s County-by-County Buck Rankings in October, needs to start congratulating him. Gerald’s 180 1/8-inch net non-typical buck was a legitimate opening-day rifle kill last season. It was our mistake it was accidentally listed as…
