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 […]

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 […]

2013 Fishing Regulations Online

Mister Bass

The 2013 Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations Guide is now available online and in print, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division (WRD). These are the official rules and regulations in Georgia — not the kind of stuff my fishing buddy, Don Poole, makes up. I was surprised to learn that some of Don’s […]

DNR Enforcement Report (December 30, 2012 — January 5, 2013)

GA Wildlife

Our friends at the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are pretty dang smart. When bad apples, poachers and other desperadoes get a bit too wild, the DNR sends Rangers from their Wildlife Resources Division to calm them down. The headlines from this week’s report on life that got too wild include: Possession of a firearm […]

Fish Attractors on Lake Allatoona

fish attractors

When you think of “fish attractors,” my friend Don Poole probably comes to mind.  Nobody can attract more fish than Don.  No, he can’t catch them … but, boy, can he attract them.  If you cannot go fishing with Don, you can use a different type of fish attractor. Underwater woody debris — such as […]
