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 […]

Americans have the right to bear arms. Smart Americans who exercise this right learn how to handle, transport, fire, clean and store their firearms. Now, there’s an added benefit for those who get hunter education training from Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources. Hunter education graduates can“give it a shot” with a free three-month pass to […]

When you’re ready to catch stripers and hybrids, contact Robert at 770-827-6282 or by e-mail: [email protected]. Line-Sides: Fair. The north end of the lake is still stained, but has cleared up greatly since last week’s rain. Mid-lake is still looking good […]
The Law Enforcement Section of Georgia’s Wildlife Resources Division protects our wildlife populations by enforcing laws, rules and regulations pertaining to game and non-game animals, threatened and endangered plants and animals, exotic animals, boating safety, litter and waste control, and other natural resource issues. In other words, DNR Rangers enforce the law. They’ve been busier […]
