The Field Notes Podcast uses Episode 10 to, once again, highlight the greatness of the Georgia Outdoors. The show begins with Derrick Debout's incredible hog harvest with a traditional bow. He entered the woods hoping to take a deer, maybe even a bear, but came out with a massive boar that he took down from just 14 yards away. Hosts Kimberly Lee and Jake Rowe use the Christmas Eve episode to discuss the gifts that 2025 has given them and show thanks for what they've experienced in another year. They also connect with UGA Aquatic Resources expert Emma Brown, whose father, John, owns Pistol Creek. She talks hunting, fishing, and what she is currently researching in the Peach State water.
