My First Wild Quail

I have never read a description that fully conveys the feeling of witnessing a covey rise. How can anyone accurately describe such a scene? You must be present in the moment. It’s a feeling that should be experienced. The tense muscles as you quietly approach the thick cover. The pulse in your finger as it…

GON’s Trophy Room – April 2024

Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed sharing the accomplishments of others. Some months we’ll receive hundreds of pictures of happy hunters and anglers every year who just want to share their accomplishments. We are truly blessed that so many loyal Georgians think enough of GON to share with us about what they’ve accomplished.…

Editorial-Opinion April 2024

There’s too much noise, stress and angst in today’s world. People with a passion for the outdoors know a peace and calm, a release. We have—thanks be to God—a window into a world far from the struggles of everyday life. The rhythmic clatter and gurgle of your buzzbait will not magically make your credit card…

When Trees Talk

I had a sad day recently. A piece of property that I’ve hunted for 10 years sold, and along with it went some fantastic deer hunting. A powerline runs through it that is a highway for whitetails. Over the years, I’ve killed several nice bucks and plenty of hamburger on that right-of-way. I believe that…

How To Make A Kid Tall

I believe that by now I am qualified to write a story about how to take a kid fishing. Boy oh boy, have I had some practice! And boy oh boy, has my patience been tested. I must confess that it is no major chore for me to acquiesce to my two boys’ frequent requests…

Georgia Turkey Found Dead Changed My View On Corn Feeders

Turkeys sure do have a tough time. It’s a wonder that they can survive at all in the wild, with the ongoing habitat destruction, the seemingly endless predation, Mother Nature’s unpredictable hazards and conservation-oblivious humans. But then, there is more that we may not necessarily think much about in our native turkey flocks. For me,…

Patriot

I am a patriot of the United States of America. I will never apologize for being one. I think the GON community will support me on this stance. It is one of the main ways I want to be remembered, followed by God and family. But no matter how patriotic I am, I will never…

Editorial-Opinion February 2024

In 1987, a handful of folks—principally Steve Burch and Brad Bailey—began a journey of blood, sweat and tears to create a new hunting and fishing publication in Georgia.
