Monroe County Outdoors
Hunting season’s far from over
A fter a seemingly endless diet
of bowl games has kept you in
front of your television far too
long, it is time to get out of the
bouse and go hunting. That’s
right, I said, “Go hunting.” Now that the
deer season is over, you can direct your at
tention at a wide va
riety of game species
that you probably ig
nored in your pur
suit of a trophy buck.
One game bird
that you probably
didn’t think about
while you were
rushing around
trying to find just
the right presents
for family
and friends is
the American
Woodcock,
also known
as the timberdoodle. This unusual,
long-billed game gird has the dubi
ous distinction of having the shortest
season of any of our game birds and
mammals. The 29-day woodcock sea
son came in Dec. 20 and closes Jan.
18.
The daily bag limit of but three
birds reflects the fact that woodcock
populations have plummeted over
the past few decades. The main cul
prits responsible for this decline are
habitat loss and pesticides which
have contaminated the bird’s favorite
food - earthworms.
Wilson’s snipe look much like wood
cock, however they are much slim
mer. Additionally, whereas woodcock
inhabit shrubby bottomlands, snipe
prefer to feed in muddy pastures,
open swamps, and the exposed shore
lines of farm ponds and other
impoundments. While snipe were
scarce earlier this hunting season,
they can now be found in the county.
Wilson’s snipe can be hunted
through Feb. 28.
If I had to guess, I would say that
you probably haven’t given much
thought to dove hunting since
September. With the 2008-09 dove
season ending Jan. 10, you still have
the chance to take in a hunt to two.
Good numbers of wintering mourn
ing doves are still plentiful.
However, after being shot at for
weeks, they are extremely wary
and difficult to bag.
Waterfowl can be hunted through
Jan. 28. While the variety and
numbers of ducks locally peaked
around Thanksgiving, a fair num
ber of ducks are still around. Wood
ducks and hooded mergansers can
still be found in beaver ponds and
slow-moving streams. Ring
necked ducks and lesser scaup
can also be located at Lake
Juliette. Some of the other
ducks that are wintering locally
are ruddys, northern shovelers, pin
tails, black ducks, gadwalls, buffle-
heads and green-winged teal. Flocks
of home-grown Canada geese daily
criss-cross the county. Flocks of
American coots are daily feeding
along the shores of Lake Juliette.
You can hunt quail through Feb. 28.
However, your chances of finding a
cover or two of quail are slim.
Locally, quail populations are but a
shadow of what they were 30 years
ago.
This is an ideal time of hunt rab
bits. Frost has thinned out their
cover making them easier to see.
Even if you don’t have a pack of bea
gles, you can still walk up enough
rabbits to make your time hunting
these popular game mammals worth
while. Rabbit season ends Feb. 28.
Squirrels are abundant throughout
the county. In fact, I have seen more
squirrels during the past few weeks
than I have all year. If you haven’t
been on a squirrel hunt this year, you
have until Feb. 28 to enjoy this often
overlooked sport.
The seasons on opossum, raccoon,
fox, bobcat and crows also close Feb.
28.
There are no closed seasons for
feral hogs, coyotes, armadillos and
beaver.
If you are looking for a great place
to hunt, try the Rum Creek Wildlife
Management Area. Waterfowl hunt
ing is permitted until noon
Wednesday - Sunday. Small game
hunting is allowed every day from
now until the end of the season.
Remember, you will need a Wildlife
Management Area license to hunt
this and the more than 90 other
wildlife management areas in the
state.
You can also find thousands of
acres of lands on which to hunt small
game on the nearby Oconee National
Forest. Call the U.S. Forest Service at
706-485-1776 for details.
The Piedmont National Wildlife
Refuge offers rabbit, squirrel hunting
daily until Feb. 28. Raccoon and
opossum hunting are permitted Jan.
9-10, 16-17, 23-24, and 30-31. Call
478- 986-5441 for details.
For more details on hunting oppor
tunities the remainder of the 2008-
2009 hunting season, check the
Georgia Hunting Seasons and
Regulations Guide or the Wildlife
Resources website at GOHUNTGE-

Terry Johnson is the retired
Program Manager of the Georgia
Nongame-Endangered Wildlife
Program. He is currently Executive
Director of TERN (The Nongame
Wildlife Section's Friends Group)

Between Christmas and the New Year, 18 scouts and 5 leaders from Troop 51 participated in Winter Camp at Lawhorn Scout Base in Mole-
na, Ga. Pictured are (I to r) Tyler Phagan, Hugh Moody, Ernie Strickland, Joshua Wangerin, Trevor Self, Seth Vanhuss, Tyler Sakir,

Troop 51 rings in new year
The Scouts of Troop 51 had a busy
December hosting a fundraiser for
fellow scout Hill Daniel, of Troop 101
in Bolingbroke, and attending Winter
Camp. Troop 51 wishes to thank
everyone who attended the fundrais
er and helped raise $1,400 for the
Daniel family.
Troop 51 will kick off the new year
with their first troop meeting and a
Scout parent meeting both at 7 p.m.
on Monday, Jan. 12 at Forsyth
United Methodist Church. Any young
man between the ages of 11 and 18
is welcome to join Boy Scouts of
America. For more information,
please contact Troop 51 Membership
Coordinator Donna Sandusky at 478-
954-6846.
Three Bulldogs named on All-
Middle Ga honorable mentions
Three Mary Persons football players were listed as hon
orable mentions on the Macon Telegraph’s All-Middle
Georgia team last month - MP’s senior quaterback Drew
Coleman, senior linebacker Tevin Davis and junior run
ning back Meshari Walton.
Big buck for Parker
Eric Parker of Forsyth shot this 10-point buck in mid-November
while on a hunting trip with his grandfather, Harold Parker, in
Brown County, III.
