LFTT 12*16

In Cleburne county with my dad. Sitting in some planted pines watching a hardwood bottom. Heard several critters running when I walked in. Oh its cold.

Present, hunting cut corn field with thick area behind me.

I’m hunting Wheeler this morning

Good luck this morning guys! Dense fog here in walker co. Judging by my trail cam photos this morning bucks were on their feet all night.

Present. Foggy here in Coosa county.

I'm back on our biggest field this morning. There's lots of scrapes on a hardwood ridge nearby and I'm mainly trying to catch deer crossing a road going toward those scrapes...a 3 year old 8 point and a small 6 point have came through already. They seemed to both be searching for a doe

Just had about a 2 year old 6-8pt. Running a doe grunting. Pretty sure it’s same buck I saw last week in here grunting and following some does but he veered off. Now he’s sticking to her following.

Long walk in the cold this morning, walked my buddy to my prime spot. I just got set up at a different spot, Sitting between the river and the back side of a field. Hope sitting in this frost gets them on their feet. Good luck fellas!

So far 5 does/fawns and one super nice 8pt, it’s was too early/dark to make a good decision on age... I normally would’ve ground checked him but have a stud on camera at this spot, didn’t want to mess it up

little 4 so far

sounds like I shouldn't have slept in

I was running a little late and a small buck was pushing a doe all over a big field. That's hazardous to his health this close to public land

Weather conditions do appear favorable where I am. I was out feeding cows and no shooting....again, except ducks. A duck must be tougher than a Cape Buffalo because the guys around here can't kill one with a single shot.

A doe and fawn just came out into the big field. They're feeding like crazy on the frozen green field

I haven’t seen nothing as of yet

Sat this morning out. I'll be after them this afternoon

Watching 5 gobblers feed here on Uwharrie NF. No deer between my friend and I. The rut is done up here. Ready to get back to Bama to try and get on some active rutting deer.

Bet we know where you are.

I’d be a fool to not be here

I agree. That’s a good area but not easily accessible. Especially if the water gets up.

Perfect morning, but zero deer so far. Haven’t heard the first shot either. Oh well.

One small buck, sounded like a dove shoot around me early.

Congrats Sonny!!!

Y'all better enjoy today if you believe some of these weather reports. Tomorrow wind turns to the East and rain all week. But I could have called this weather 2 months ago. Guy coming in to hunt next week and I've been seeing a really nice 8 about 4 yo, for some weeks now. I knew it wouldn't be this easy.

Congrats Sonny!!!

Congrats Shaw!

I was in a foodplot on the edge of some 8yo pines and a year cutover. Neck shot him at 150 yards out in the cutover just after 7:30. Waiting on help to get here to help me load the fat joker up.

Congrats, nice buck Shaw

Congrats, Sonny!!!

I'm coming down at 10:00 to go help a good friend track a buck. He's in a club about 5 minutes from our farm...If it's the buck he thinks it is (from game camera pictures), I believe it'll go nearly 150"

Congrats Sonny! Nice buck! And he does look fat and healthy!

Nice buck!

Don't even tell us about that kind of stuff if you're not gonna show us pictures!

Good luck tracking him....Did he put a bad hit on him or something?

Congrats shaw

Congrats he looks like a Fat One!!

Ended up seeing 6

The 8pt I seen at daybreak was this one

I shot a coyote at 7:30. Saw no deer, but didn't sit long after I shot the yote. Pulling some cameras to get them on scrapes. They're close to busting loose here.

He weighed 190#.

Nice buck!

Shot a good 4 yo 8 point this morning

Congrats Shaw and duxlayer. Can't wait to see pics.

I didn't see anything this morning but have some new bucks on cam, but of course only late ate night. Will be back out early this afternoon.

Shot a 8 point this morning.

Congrats Hayman!

Congrats Hayman, nice buck!

Congrats fellas

Saw a doe this morning. I'm heading into a bottom that is about 100yds wide. It's between 10yr old planted pines and a LARGE food plot. I saw a young 10pt there Tuesday morning. Maybe his dad will show up.

You’re holding out one me....

Got a newbie hunter this morning his first deer sighting since he's started hunting. He got busted hunting from the ground. He's stoked. This is my set for the afternoon. Going in blind for a ground sit.

Some meat dropping today! Congrats men! All nice deer!

Congrats on the kills guys!

Yes, it must've been a bad hit...Deer was 25 yds away and facing the hunter when he shot. He could tell one shoulder was broken as the buck ran off...I tried to get my buddy to call a dog immediately when we found bone at the shot site. He wouldn't do it...We tracked lots of blood and bone for probably 500 yds and finally jumped the buck. So, now, we've got in touch with David Jones and he's going to try and come track the buck after David gets off work this evening...We should've been calling David at 11:15, not 1:30

That sucks. Maybe the deer is hurt worse than just his leg. Are you going on the track with them? It could get real interesting and be fun to watch.

1st ever sit on this stand. Poor looking food plot but in the middle of a large 2 year old cutover. Binos getting a workout today.

Dr. B

New spot. Scrapes and rubs everywhere.

No, I'm out for going back with them. I'm hunting this afternoon, then heading home...I feel sure that they'll find the buck, but he might still have a little life in him

Oh yeah, unless he ran onto another property or across a road after y’all jumped him, they’ll very likely find him. Those hits are usually about like following a gut hit. They put off a lot of scent. Hopefully they’ll be able to finish him off.

Set up on a small plot still trying to get my son his first. Hope it happens soon cause he is bout to drive me nuts

Hunting behind the house. Fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 3:50. There was a doe about 10 yds from the back porch when I headed out

I'm back at the grown up sage field. I checked my camera here today and I've got a nice 8 point coming to these scrapes. I hope he checks them before dark today!!

Good job guys!

Congrats to the killers!

Skunked again

I saw one small doe this afternoon... I didn't hear a single shot around here

Shot a 170lb 11pt @ 10:30

210 lbs on the hoof

Nice buck!! Congrats on the kills

Me and the wife got skunked again today at the lease. If it wasn't for pics I'd swear these are ghost deer.

Nice Bucks Yall!

I saw a nice Ford tractor pulling a nice grain drill that came in the cut corn field I was watching about 4:15 this afternoon......Long ride home then.......

So much for the December lull

My dad shot a big ole hog

There's no such thing as a "nice" ford tractor

I guess the ol boy was just doing the best he could.

Sorry Mike, I was hunting my property this week.

I guess the ol boy was just doing the best he could.

Congratulations to all the killers. I built a dog house, and then went to family pictures. Fun times.

Oh, yeah I was wondering why you would pass up a 10 at our place, lol

They had some hiccups trying to get someone to come track (most everybody had Christmas parties, etc. last night), but they recovered the buck...He crossed a big creek and was barely alive 75 yds across that creek. The buck was so weak that he couldn't get up. The dog got the deer by the neck and the hunter stabbed the buck.

I guess the angle of the trail camera threw us off on our estimates, as we felt sure he would score 145"+. My dad saw the deer in person this morning and he says it's still a little bit bigger than the 138" buck I killed 3 weeks ago...This is the only pic I've gotten so far, but it doesn't look that big here. I guess the camera is fooling me again...He's still a stud of a buck and I'm happy for my buddy, Chaise!! This is by far his best buck ever.

Misty Grissom was the tracker that came. She posted these pics on FB...My buddies are still asleep, so I can't get them to send any decent pics

That's a damn gooten man!

Yea that buck def. goes 140 congrats to your buddy!

Agreed I'd say closer to 150"

None of these pictures do the deer any justice! His mass is incredible...We just finished scoring him: 148 5/8"
