Whoa, Silver!!! Cars Can’t Swim in Lake Allatoona

charger 1

I’m not the kind of guy to laugh at another person’s mistakes. OK.  That’s a lie.  But I am the kind of guy who only laughs at funny mistakes people make. Thankfully, no one was hurt when a silver Dodge Charger rolled into Lake Allatoona recently at a ramp off of Kellogg Creek Road. Cherokee […]

DNR Law Enforcement Report (2-4-13)

GA Wildlife

DNR Rangers may not use that “always get their man” slogan, but they not only nab lawbreakers, they get their fish and ducks too. Our Rangers protect our natural resources and those of us who enjoy them, but the job is more than looking svelte in their extraordinarily cool hats. The latest Law Enforcement Report proves that Rangers are enforcing […]

DNR Law Enforcement Report (1-30-13)

GA Wildlife

Most of us could use a little more wildlife, if you catch my drift. Sometimes, when life gets a little too wild, the Wildlife Resources Division of Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources has to step in and calm things down. The DNR keeps track of such interventions and it’s good reading. This week’s report includes: Hunting […]

DNR “Investigative Ranger of the Year”

Cprl. Keener

If it weren’t for the DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division there would be a lot more “wild life” in Georgia. DNR Rangers are the ones who nab perps (“bad boys” for those who don’t watch reality TV shows) for shooting wildlife from the comfort of their pickup trucks on public roads, and other beer-induced activities. Without […]

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office at Lake Allatoona (a.k.a. Allatoona Lake) has a new website and it’s a doozy.

Gopher Tortoise Nappers Nabbed by DNR

GA Wildlife

The Law Enforcement Section of Georgia’s DNR Wildlife Resources Division had another busy week around Lake Allatoona.  An interesting one too. How many of us can say we apprehended a gopher tortoise poacher, as our faithful Rangers did recently?  It’s a rough job, but somebody has to do it. Rangers protect our natural resources and all […]

Youth Birding Competition

Youth Birding Competition

Birders don’t get enough respect. People who wouldn’t know a Chuck-will’s-widow from a whip-poor-will think birding is for bird brains. Now, maybe putting neon lights under your car or mastering a video game is more to your liking.  That’s cool.  Knock yourself out.  But, in my humble opinion, putting your resources and time into that stuff […]
