Spring is here so it may be time to get out in your woods and do some of those projects you dreamed about while you were sitting in your stand and the deer weren't cooperating.

Learn five ground rules of Forest Stand Improvement that will help you start using a fantastic technique for revitalizing deer habitat where you hunt.

As I'm watching it snow in Augusta, just reflecting on the successes of this past season. From hosting a Field to Fork event at Crabapple Farm to adding some meat to the freezer, was a great fall. Share your favorite photos with the Georgia Branch.
