Headed to the mountains for the second sit of the year. Not the weather I would have picked but gotta play the hand I'm dealt. Good luck boys.

good luck go get em

In about an hour I'm going to head in with the Lone Wolf on my back and see what I can find. Pulling a recon mission on a strip of hardwoods no one has fooled with in years. Depending on how things go I may sit til 3 and come out.

Just stopped raining and I'm headed up the mountain to my stand. Maybe they will move this morning after this rain. Good luck guys.

I just drove 45 mins just to get to a new spot in lowndes I wanted to hunt with out my freakin bow! Dang it! Oh well goin back home...

Sitting in an oak flat next to a fresh cutover. Climbed early so I'm a tad damp. Looking like a beautiful morning to be in the woods since the rain has passed.

Good luck

The woods are starting to come alive. Good luck and be safe.

Here in a pine plantation off a food plot about 200 yards next to a nasty thick bottom

It's foggy on top of this mountain. It's wet and I can't see very far. I'm going to have to keep my head on a swivel this morning until it clears up a little.

Good luck!

Well crap! I hate to hear that. I'd a shot myself for that one and been so pissed at myself I couldn't hunt. Glad you didn't.

Made it a in. Guess I found the right spot. Acorns raining down everywhere. Saw one deer in the spot where I climbrd trot off. While I was putting my stand on the tree two more walked up behind me.

Won't be no nannerhead busting in this spot. Bucks only because it's going to be a mother to get him out.

I love them spots like that Shaw. No pressure at all no educated deer. I'm sitting on creek crossing close to a group of white oaks. Got some pictures of deer coming from this direction in the middle of the day. Gonna see what happens.

Had a big coyote come by about fifteen minutes ago but couldn't get a shot on him. No deer yet.

I should've brought a hard hat. There will be a loc-on or two in here next season.

A lot thicker in here than I was expecting. Emmett might have flashbacks from Vietnam if he hunts in here.

10 or 12 years ago my brother-in-law drove from Anniston to Roanoke (about 1 hour) on the opening morning of bow season without any arrows. Seems like his case wouldn't close with the quiever attached, so he thought he put them in the back seat, but left them at his house. He drove all the way back home, got the arrows, wound up getting in a tree around 8:00 and shot a mounter 7pt by 8:30. If I remember correctly, I think he was the only person that even saw a deer that morning! It happens to the best of us!

I'd rather be lucky than good any day. Cool story.

Good luck to you guy's... I feel a sick day coming on tomorrow

I'm gonna call Joe and tell him your full of chit.

Many years ago, my Godfather drove four hours to his lease on opening weekend. Grabbed his rifle (in the case) and headed out to his spot. Removed said rifle and realized he had left home without the bolt, which he had taken out for cleaning. We've got a lot of mileage out of that one. Good luck today guys!

All good stories! I would have gotten it and drove back if I didn't have to be at work at 1130. But I reckon God didn't think I needed to be in the woods today... So maybe Saturday night I'll pack ALL my stuff For the mornin.. Yall stay safe out there good luck and wear you damn harness!

Good luck all...I'm back at work today after seeing lots of deer yesterday, but no shooters. I'll be at it again Friday afternoon.

Just had a doe and fawn feed by.

Another doe just came by.

Shaw looks like you are carrying the torch for all of us good luck

Said thing is he already knows...gotta use up all of the sick days..I can only roll so many over

I love following these threads. Shaw it sounds like you have found a jam up spot!

Nothing since the last doe sighting about 12:30. I am literally getting hit by falling acorns.

What kind of oaks are dropping?

Sitting on a firebreak with a few oaks dropping. Two good trails intersect just to my right.

White oaks.

You better get out of there- deer don't like regular white oak acorns.

Daryl

And now we know why you have never killed one with a bow.

That's funny right there- not really.

Another doe just showed up.

Set up in some select cut hardwoods in Bankhead National Forest. Few white oaks still dropping.

Had one more big nannerhead come in about 3:45 and stay til about 4:15. Today was one of the more enjoyable all day sits I've ever had.

Awesome

Saw 2 from the stand, and busted 4 more walking out

Saw 9, 2 small bucks and does. Didn't see the monster I saw yesterday evenin'

My view I had this evening

Right


Ended up seeing 3 but not in range oh well

Ended up seeing 2 spikes. Maybe there grandpa or grandma will come through Saturday.

Didn't see a deer today. Off to my old haunt in the morning, if I don't see anything there I may start burning my hunting gear to get rid of the bad luck I seem to be carrying this year.
