Georgia Afield Welcomes Tethrd as First Corporate Sponsor

Georgia Afield is pleased to announce that Tethrd, creators of the ultimate tree saddle hunting setup, has partnered with the digital media company as its first corporate sponsor. “We are extremely excited to be working with the guys at Tethrd,” said Brian Grossman, founder of Georgia Afield. “Robert and I were already customers and big fans of Tethrd gear, so it was an easy choice when we started discussing who we wanted as Georgia Afield’s first official sponsor. The fact that their co-founder, Greg Godfrey, is a fellow Georgian made the decision even easier.” Tethrd was born from Greg’s and co-founder Ernie Power’s desire to provide quality gear and resources to the saddle hunting community.

How to Protect Yourself From Ticks

Brian's Blog

Protecting yourself from ticks and all the various diseases they carry may be the most important thing you do this deer season! If you were to ask Georgia hunters which critter they most fear encoutering in the deer woods, I would venture to say the majority would answer venomous snakes — or just snakes in general. A few may bring up bears or coyotes, and you may even hear mention of spiders or bees. In reality, though, it is a much smaller, often overlooked arachnid that seems to wreak the most havoc these days. I am referring to ticks. Growing up, ticks were just something you dealt with.

And while there isn’t an overabundance of hunting podcasts with a southern flair, there are several I listen to on a regular basis that I would highly…

Will Social Media Be The Death of Hunting?

Brian's Blog

Approximately 6 percent of the U.S. population hunts. To a lifelong hunter who’s worked hard to pass the tradition on to my children, that statistic is frightening. It should be frightening to you as well. We like to think of hunting as a God-given right but, in reality, it isn’t. Like it or not, our hunting heritage ultimately lies in the hands of the remaining 94 percent of the population that does not hunt. Fortunately for us, the vast majority of those non-hunters approve of hunting, as long as you don’t start throwing the word “trophy” around. But as hunter numbers continue to dwindle, can we keep that level of support? Social media has given us a great platform to unite and spread the positive message of hunters as…
