Visiting Atlanta? Don’t Miss These Nearby Outdoor Sporting Gems

– Story by Chris Dorsey, Forbes Travel Contributor – I walk toward an orange and white English setter that is as motionless as a leopard before the pounce, the dog puffing quail scent like a man drawing the flicker of life into a cigar. I am only a two-hour drive […]

In the Blind

– Story by Nathan Sparks. Photos by Nathan Sparks and Alexis Greene – It’s just before dawn when we step out of the truck. The peaceful murmuring of the North Platte River creates a pleasant background to the sound of our boots on the frozen ground. It’s so perfect; it’s […]

Lucky at the Honey Hole

Quail hunting at the Beretta Shooting Grounds is always a pleasure and sometimes, it’s downright magical.  This post from friend, client, and wordsmith Robert Parvin Williams captures the magic of one such experience.  His words make me relive that special day, which is without a doubt the best quail hunt […]

The Lore of Lanai

– Drew Carroll, Seek One Productions – The United States is host to many incredible hunting opportunities. From elk and mule deer of the Rockies, whitetails of the Midwest, to the moose and grizzlies of Alaska. Until recently, Hawaiian hunting opportunities didn’t seem to be on many hunter’s radars. The […]

The “Culinary Experience”

– Sean Finley – Every year I find myself in a wonderful dilemma to come up with new menu items that will dazzle our guests when they come to hunt. I have never wanted to just be “normal” when it comes to food. After working in the food industry for the last 25 years […]

Garden & Gun – Searching for Monster Trout on Georgia’s Soque River

In the headwaters, cornfields in the valleys nudge against sycamores and mountain laurel as the river, here little more than a creek, twists through banks clad in vine and wildflowers. Farther downstream, it gathers flow from limestone springs, and its rock-ribbed pools are cooled in the shade of soaring hemlock groves. The Soque River (pronounced so-quee) flows for about thirty miles contained in a single county—Habersham, merely four counties northeast of metro Atlanta—an intimacy that lends it a homey, winsome, tucked-just-out-of-sight appeal.

Shooting Sportsman – The Adventurous Life

John Burrell drops two shells into his over/under as deftly as he would plunk Alka Seltzer into a glass of water. Plop, plop. He eases closed the gun and slips into the grass, stopping shy of the staunch setter. At the handler’s command, the pin is pulled from the waiting cocker, which launches like a grenade into the cover, blowing the covey of quail skyward.
