LFTT 10/28/15

You boys are getting soft. Can't believe no ones' started a thread yet. I'm set up on a fool plot in a big red oak that's dropping a few acorns. There's a light mist falling right now.

A fool plot? Sounds about right to me!! Ha

Back in the same tree as yesterday afternoon. Watching a hardwood bottom between some mature pines. Got a greenfield about 150 yards away.

Wasn't hardley any rain on radar but it was pouring when I got here. Waited about ten minutes then it slacked up. Of course I forgot to drop a pin at where I left my stand, so I walked around about 20 minutes looking for it.

KMA. Yep probably a fool for picking this spot this morning. Probably should've hit the hardwoods but I was too lazy to haul a climber in and set up this morning. Nothing but a couple of chipmunks so far.

Atleast you've been able to hunt, unlike me. I finally get to go this Friday. I get to hunt Friday morning and saturday morning. I'll only probably get to go a few times, but I'll give em hell when I do. Look out swoop necks!

I'm going to the stand late this morning and going to try a mid day hunt. With the overcast the past several days I didn't realize we have a full moon right now. It peaked through last night so I'm gona change my strategy today. I'm off all next week so gona hit it hard then too.

Just had 3 doe slip by just out of range.

Good luck. I get to go on Friday and Saturday. Probably won't have any cell signal tho

Feels like the humidity went back up here. Air feels muggy again this morning.

Good luck men. Hoping to get out Friday. We will see. Wednesdays are a busy day in the church world. Keep me sane with some pictures of dead deer!

Just got back home. Debating on going now or taking a nap. If I left now I could be in the stand by 9

I've seen a rabbit so far. Just had a big limb fall about 60yds to my left. May need to go change draws.

What u waiting on?!! Goodluck guys

Just had a bobcat at 28 yards...moving to fast to get a shot off.

Sky's are starting to turn blue won't be long and the sun will be out.

Damn squirrels and chipmunks are giving these red oak acorns hell.

Got off work this morning at 6. I finally got in the woods at 8. Jumped 4 does while walking the creek bank. I only heard 1 of them blow once. I don't hunt here much at all so hopefully they didn't get too scared. They ran the opposite way so hopefully I'll catch them on their way back to bed down. I'm still hoping to get my first bow kill. The rain has stopped here in Dekalb County. Good luck to all that's hunting today.

Just got in my tree. Going to stay till after lunch and see what happens. Very muggy today and not much wind at all like I thought there would be.

Me and my little boy are hanging out this morning. I'll be back after them this evening.

Yall ain't killed yet?

I would think it should be turning on with this weather opening up, I'd love to be in a tree, but won't make it until tomorrow morning.

I'm just glad the wind ain't out of the east anymore. I was about sick of that.

Right after the rain was always one of my favorite times to be out there. I had a lot of success in a light rain and just after a good soaking rain.They used to flood the fields after a rain where I hunted.

No joke I've about beat all my east wind spots

Up a tree in Winston co. Have several white and red oaks dropping around me. Pretty windy as well. Maybe one will come through eating acorns this evening.

On the edge of a food plot next to a big creek. Got water oak acorns everywhere. May see some pigs, they've been rooting around in here.

On a hardwood ridge. Acorns falling everywhere...

Set up on the edge of a food plot to my right and a cutover to my left

Pigs? Are you hunting in Tusco? If so, I'm surprised to hear about pigs....

Sitting in a natural ground blind with my 6 year old on family land (40acrea). Would love to bust a doe this evening.regardless, we have plenty of snacks, drinks and anything else one might need, lol

Enjoy the time together my friend and good luck..

Nope, Greene County.

Ah.... Makes more sense. Good luck!

You're suprised to hear about pigs in tuscaloosa county?

Yep - I've hunted my whole life in Tusco and never once seen a pig

I'm in some lines between hardwoods and a food plot. Hope to catch them in transition.

I'm between a thicket and some hardwoods hunting a road we pushed out with a bobcat. My last sit here I saw a spike and 4 point.

I've shot a fee with my bow in oakmulgee and killed a few in our old club in duncanville. I've got a buddy that has a club up above deer lick that is covered up

We are in Tuscaloosa co and have several different tracks, some of the land is over ran with hogs.

I killed my first pig in a club we used to have over on Barger Road. There were quite a few over there then and that was 2008.

I'm on hardwood ridge surrounded by whiteoaks

That's interesting - we back up to North River in the extreme northern end of Tusco but haven't seen any. The processor says they are all around but we've yet to see one. I'm sure we'll have 'em soon enough....

Just be glad you don't have them. There are places in boligee and gainesville that you won't see a deer because of hogs

Hunting in a oak thicket, got the ole longbow out again

That's unreal

Just sat down. One doe just walked in the greenfield

Had them jokers eat a doe I shot with my bow in oakmulgee a few years ago. Wasn't sure about the shot and couldn't find my arrow So I backed out to come back the next morning. When I found her the next day there was just a little bit of hair and a big bloody spot. Hog tracks were everywhere

So my neighbor on this lease decides that 5:30 is a good time to shoot a high powered rifle. I don't know what he is shooting at but it scared the crap out of me.

Shouldn't bother the deer. I used to hunt right beside a shooting range the deer never checked up when someone was shooting

It doesn't bother me that he is shooting. He is a good neighbor, it just about made my heart stop though

man I had people riding a horse, sighting in a gun, and decide to bring a car and bump some music with subs all next to me in the clearcut on the land that borders ours from 5-dark...ridiculous

I shot a pretty decent 7 pt one time in Seale while listening to some folks blare Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places". I guess they were just parking and drinking beer on the dirt road.

I use to hunt around yellow creek/lock 15 area and we had plenty of hogs and big ones as well...

Anyone score today?

I used to hunt off of wint Dunn road not far from lock 16 and we had plenty of hogs as well

There are plenty of hogs in Tuscaloosa county. From what I've gathered they are mainly on the east side of 69 hwy back to the river.

Plenty in the northern part too. I use to be in a club up 69 North. I had pics of 12-15 at a time all the time.

I've killed hogs starting at about Northriver yacht club all the way up hwy 69 to Goodwater Church cemetery close to blue creek road. I've killed them on Phelps road, yellow creek road, watermelon road, lock 15 road and barger road. Anywhere east of hwy 69 in Tuscaloosa has hogs.

The club I was in up 69 North a joined the property that Piney something church is on.

Well I shot a BIG buck this afternoon. Hit a limb that I didn't see and didn't make a fatal hit. He lives to see another day but I sure wish I was headed to the taxidermist right now...

Dang I hate that bh84! We're you in Shelby county?

Yes sir. Had 2 big mature shooters come in and give me a chip shot and I messed it up....

Too bad. Keep after them. They will be back.

I was with bh84 today. He's a sick puppy. On the other hand, I killed a nanny. I don't know what happened with him??
Hate it for ya pal. We'll go back and get him again.

You hunting private land in Shelby?

Yes, it's a small place I acquired a few weeks ago. Didn't think it was gonna be that good, and still think we just got kinda lucky. But today was fun! For me at least. Ha! Poor Darryl ain't ever gonna live this down. And yes, I already know I'm gonna booger one up for giving him a hard time.

Hate that for you BH84.

Not nearly as bad as I do brother but he lives and maybe he will give me another chance on another day...

Any chance you clipped an artery? He might still go down even though you missed vitals? Where did you hit him?

No chance.
