We’ve said it a thousand times since GON started in 1987: Weird things happen in the woods. The latest crazy story that rolled into our [email protected] email box was several photos of a Cobb County buck with what appears to be a pumpkin stuck on its head. GON subscriber Phil Crane, of Powder Springs, was…
Garrett Saxon was having a pretty good start to September. He had already seen two large shooter bucks on one of his hunting spots in Madison County, and he had also just been married on the second Saturday of archery season. The only thing that could possibly make the month any better was killing one…
Hunting personality Travis “T-Bone” Turner, of Hogansville, is the latest Georgia hunter to knock down a Pope & Young class buck in what is looking to be a stellar year for Georgia archers. Although Travis spends much of his hunting season traveling the country, he cut his teeth in the Georgia woods of Troup County.…
Gator season won’t officially close until Oct. 5, but this season already has been highlighted by some really big gators. Most of these giant lizards have come from the 220 tag holder who drew Lake Seminole. We’re not sure how many 12-plus-foot gators live in this south Georgia reservoir, but there appears to be no…
If you’re a deer hunter who has reached the half century mark or more in years, you well know your body is not like it was when you were in your 20s. Our bodies and senses are slowly deteriorating and slowing down due to age. But that certainly does not mean we need to hang…

The five men had just finished their camp dinner. They began pulling their chairs closer to the fire pit where they had enjoyed conversations for years. The fire began to blaze a little higher. It was a cool evening for the end of an April turkey hunting trip. The fire felt good, and it kept…
One of the most common debates among deer hunters is the stage of the rut occurring at a given point of the season. It’s not uncommon for one hunter to proclaim the rut is in full swing, while another contends it hasn’t yet begun, or even that it’s already over. Fact is, rut timing can…
The numbers have been crunched, and the Top-3 counties in Georgia for big-buck production remain the same—Worth, Lee and Dougherty are the best of the best. The No. 4 and 5 counties swapped spots, with Fulton edging past Macon County as the No. 4 ranked county in Georgia for big bucks recorded in the past…
By Zach Cole For someone who has never had the pleasure of filling an alligator tag, much less drawing one, the 2020 alligator season is going to be a hard one for me to beat. I have been applying for gator tags for five or six years now, and this year I wagered it all.…
