 Nestled comfortably in the woods off Hwy 24 in Screven County you will find a haven for anyone looking for unique hunting and shooting opportunities. The entrance sign reads Savannah River Preserve but Savannah River Experience would serve as well. Follow the driveway lined with magnolia trees and the woods open up to the main lodge and cabins surrounded by sporting clay and archery ranges. The setting gives the impression of a small village whose inviting presence speaks of southern grace and hospitality. |

 When the calendar flips over and September arrives I begin to smell burnt gunpowder in the air and my mouth waters for the taste of bacon wrapped dove breast hot off the grill. After a busy summer of fishing I am ready to dust my shotgun off and test my marksman skills against these acrobatic fliers.
If you have been fortunate enough to have your own fields to manage for dove over the summer, the time is near to prepare them for the arriving birds. Responsible harvest must be kept in mind to keep feed for the season. Also keep your fields clean and free of weeds. |

 For five years of dating and twenty-two years of marriage my husband and I have defied the odds faced by all marriages. In this world of an over 50% divorce rate our families fully expected us to either seek vicious legal counsel or commit vicious murder!
From the moment of our first meeting Richard and I have been on opposite sides of the fence. It’s a good thing opposites attract, otherwise one or both of us would be injured or incarcerated! |

 Mark Brannen knows what it means to live on the edge. His idea of fun is screaming down the track at over 160 mph in a car he made himself. It’s what he loves and he does it well.
Marks love affair with cars and speed began when he was seventeen years old. His father purchased two 1955 Chevys for $1000 and gave Mark the job of fixing one of them up. While he admits that the coolness of a ’55 Chevy took a little while for a young teenager to fully appreciate, he eventually did and learned to love the car. |

 Thank goodness the spawn has finally for the most part come to an end. Bass patterns in the southeast are simpler to predict, and putting a limit in the live well is pretty much a given. For the most part you still have to work for them, and with food sources being abundant this time of the year, you may have to fish several different lures and techniques to produce numbers of fish. |
