Forget pyramids, abstract art, that stupid picture of the soup can and dusty historical artifacts that kids cannot touch or throw at one another. Tellus Science Museum knows what kids want! Giant trucks and stuff they can climb on! Take the family — even the Wild Ones — to Tellus for a night of fun on […]
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 […]
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 best way for men to try to understand women is to have a daughter or three. Folklore says raising girls can help husbands begin to figure out their wives, although it’s hard to believe. My two daughters are gifts to my family … and to the world. But raising girls isn’t easy. Dads must cope […]
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. Seriously, if you have a question about Lake Allatoona’s Boating & Fishing Camping Day Use Hunting Park Attendant Contract Positions Passes Picnic Shelters Policies, Rules & Regulations Shoreline Management Special Activities Permit Special Event […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
