LFTT 10/25

I'll be headed out here in a few. Try to slip in for a little while before work. Good luck!

I am here, missed last 3 days... having withdrawals. Going to stay until 830-10.

Best of luck to you all! Be safe!

I’m hunting cahaba with 3FFarms this morning. Sipping on coffee waiting on that goober to show up. This is like taking a kid on a youth hunt, I had to scout a spot for him and mark a tree for him to climb

Should be an awesome morning. I gotta take the kids to school. Wish I could be out there. Good luck.

Took off today for me first sit of the year. Feels good
outside. It’s gonna be a pretty morning.

You are brave if You are letting him drive

I'm about to head in to my spot,good luck to everybody....lol @ southwood.


Btw had ice on my windshield this morning in Hollins,1st time this fall.

Everything feels good. Just hope they make their way to this oak before I have to go

2 does, 40 yards. Watched one of them stop and work a scrape, was kind of fun to see. Not sitting long today, but glad I came out for a bit. Hopin their friends come through a little closer

I'm set up on a small plot with a white oak in the middle of it. Just had a yote come through but no shot

Good luck to the hunters. I walked outside this morning and got jealous of those headed to their stands. Too much going on at work right now for me to be able to hunt in the mornings.

I'm hoping to be in a tree for the first time this afternoon. Good luck guys..

Feels great out here this morning hopefully the deer will show up.

First sit of the year. Feels good to be back out in the Woods. Good Luck to you all. Great Morning

Trying out this little green field in the middle of a 10 year old cutover,it's all tracked up,trails everywhere hope something comes thru.

Another doe, probably 70 yards.

At Bankhead. Wind is not coming from forecasted direction and it messed me up. Just heard a deer blow several times about 80 yards to my left.

Good luck everyone. Stuck at work all week.

702 3 pointer
708 doe
720 Twiggy

Keep me coming!!!

Get em guys. On call at work all week and upcoming weekend and of course probably best 6-7 days of bowhunting weather I can remember for October.Sucks but got to pay bill will be out there next Tuesday and Wednesday

Just got blow by the old doe in the group. I was at full draw on one them at 36 yards and the old bitch starting blowing! First time I’ve been blowed in a long long time!

Good luck out there guys! Be safe!

Good luck to those of you lucky enough to have the chance to hunt the mid-week! I wish I was one of ya.

Nothing like the sound of an arrow passing through some lungs...

Nice, what’d ya get?

Congrats, is this your first bow kill?

doe, pretty positive I heard the crash but I’m still going to wait.

Second

Nice, good job!

Congrats

Nevermind I see her, she dead. Went 20 yards

Congrats!

Congrats jono23!!

Congrats Jono

Atta Boy Jono

Good work Jono!!

Congrats Jono!

Congrats Jono

Just got winded..damn it.

Congrats Jono

Way to go, Jono! Happy for you man!


Southwood garholed me. He told me we were going to his number one spot. Nevermind we passed one of the biggest bucks I've ever seen on the way in about 3 miles before "his" spot. Then he sends me down a logging road and tells me, "walk that way" and pointed towards Orion in the sky. He didn't even tell me until after the hunt that we were on private property but only mentioned to run if I saw anyone as I walked off from the truck early this morning. Apparently this is a turkey hunting tactic that I'm not aware of since I'm a lowly ol' deer hunter.

I'm looking for a new hunting partner if anyone is available.

Nothing like great friends Brandon LOL

Congrats Jon!

3FFarms...

Hell, at least he told you...lol

Good job jono. Still working on my 1st. Had 4 come in behind me ans managed to get down wind. They didn't see me but got a little jumpy. They left and came back to the same tree. Left again.

First time processing my own.....donyou rinse the meat off or anything? Dry it after? May seem dumb but I have no idea.

Congrats jono!! Nothing for me this morning.

Congrats.

3ff that sounds like a fun morning!

Nothing like the aldeer brotherhood.

Just spray it off with a water hose after you get it skinned. Quarter it up and put it in a cooler on ice. Open the drain so the water can run off. Keep it on ice for a few days letting the blood drain out.

Yayyy jono good for you brother

I add salt to mine. Some people dont but i like doing it. Seems like less bloody when come time to cook.

What CNC said, rinse it off good, quarter it or debone the meat and keep it on ice for about few days, drain off the water and keeping adding ice as it melts. This will help the meat age well. Get some freezer paper and good plastic wrap for freezing.

One tip that I like for backstraps - leave the silverskin on when you freeze. It will help protect the meat against freezer burn.

Yea rinse it off. Let it drip dry/drain then freeze.

Pics or it didnt happen

Congrats teammate, make sure to get the pictures for the contest. Congrats again.

Well you guys made me take tomorrow off now. I am ready to get out there.

Hit her right behind the shoulder blade, complete passthrough. I thought I missed when I first walked up to the arrow lol. It was stuck in the ground like I didn't shoot anything, but realized it was covered in blood when I got up to it. It was a 25 yard shot, shot through some super thick stuff but had 1 tiny shooting lane and she walked right into it. Like I said earlier, she ran 20 yards and fell.Second bow kill for me. Hoping for many more!

Oh and I used G5 Montec brodheads and a nufletch ignitor nock.

Congrats buddy

SuperSpike...... Tick Tock.....

Congrats Jono.

Oh I forgot to mention the ShawBuilt string, probably the real reason I killed it...

I wanted to do it to him earlier but I held off waiting for you. I knew it was just a matter of time.

Good shooting Jono! Congrats!

Congrats on the kill.

Don't forget to thank Under Armour as well.

Congrats Jono. Great shot. We wear the same hunting clothes. I guess winners dress alike.

And Medtronic insulin pumps, my biggest sponsor.

Congrats

congrats jono!!!

Congrats Jono!

I'm proud of you bud. It's been awesome watching you grow as a hunter

Congrats, good to know the G5 Montecs will do the job! I started shooting them this year, liked the way they grouped. Hopefully I'll get a chance to have my own testimonial for them this season.

Yall bunch of clowns ganging up on me now.

Good Job Jono

Congratulations Jono. I just got in the tree

Up on the mountain today, wind I ripping it up. I set up below some big white oaks with feeding sign. I'm hoping the wind dies down and the thermals start going down hill.

I didn’t wear enough clothes or my blood isn’t thinned yet. I’m actually chilly. Of course wind is blowing 982mph on top of this ridge

Decided to squeeze in a quick afternoon hunt. Probably be the last time I hunt until next week. Good luck this afternoon guys.

I'm up a tree,wind isn't too bad here in Coosa county.Need some luck this evening.

Good luck to errrbody this evening

Congrats Jono! I'm in a tree in Sumter County.

Up a tree in Macon County, well I might actually be in Lee. On top of a pine ridge with a single white oak 25 yards in front of me. Wind isn't too bad.

Sitting on some oaks at the Cahaba. Two yearlings so far. Hoping for more action before dark.

Brother just killed a hog and saw a doe sitting on some white oaks on the river delta.

I just now finally got still and am actually hunting. One of those days where you just shake your head and wonder what the hell you were thinking. I spent way too long scouting for the right spot and then once I climbed the tree I realized I had no clear shots with all the limbs. Climbed back down, took the climber back to the truck and am now sitting in the same spot but on the ground where I can see better. Oh the joys of public land hunting. Sweating like a mule....

congrats Jono.

Brother killed 2 pigs and saw 2 does and 2 spots. His buddy shot a pig too. All on the river

I got winded twice this afternoon,had 1 deer right behind me in bow range but another one blew about 75 yards away and it slipped on off.Sat a field with acorn trees surrounding it.

hunted cahaba this afternoon. sat a pine in a funnel to some hardwoods. saw two doe and a 2.5yr old 8pt. New to cahaba and new to the forum. First time seeing deer from the stand this season. Feels good!

Congrats Jono

Ended up seeing a couple does.

Wind was swirling on me and had the deer on alert. I saw five and no shots..

1 doe about 1700 today just after the wind started to lay. Came under my tree and and ate white oak acorns. She came over and sniffed a bungee cord I left on the ground.

Well done Jono! Now you just gotta find one with some bone on its head.

Congrats jono

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you got cahaba figured out way better than 3ffarms and them!!

You got that right ben. We didn’t see the first deer this morning!

Got a doe this afternoon. Saw 7 deer total, 3 racked bucks. Watched the two big ones get into a dang brawl. Awesome hunt

Spot on and now waiting to see if he thanks Mr. Penske for giving him the opportunity, Goodyear and raybestos brakes.

I kid Jono. Super pumped for you and hope there are many more to come.
