Echols County- The Echols County Sheriff's office seized more than one thousand gallons of moonshine from a wooded area near the Wolf Bay Hunting Club.

About 30 yards from Beehive Road, two, full 500 gallon moonshine stills were found cooking a fresh batch of shine. When Sheriff deputies found it, there was still steam rising from the brew.

The GBI bomb disposal squad was called in to blow up the stills early Saturday morning. No one has been arrested.
