LFTGB 1/12/18

Just got settled in before the rain started falling good. I believe the rain and temp drop will have them moving this AM or at the least one of the hogs that was here yesterday AM will show up. Time will tell.

You guys be safe out there

Got in the ground blind about 30 mins ago. Watching a 20 acre cutover that has three ridges dropping off to a creek bottom. Have 2 pretty decent bucks in here I’d like to see in person. Plan on making it all day but we will see with the deer movement how that plan works. 10 degree drop since I left my house to the stand

Waiting on this front to push through south Alabama. Plan to be in Stand at 1:00.

Good luck guys. I wish I was out there with you but I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Waiting on storm to push through as well. Work cx so I’ll be swaying in a tree after lunch. Good luck

Spike just came down creek bottom

Just saw a buck chasing a doe. Couldn’t tell much about him bc they were moving at Mach 1

Got in the stand about 45 mins ago - watching another buffer zone - nothing yet, brought more clothes for the temp drop - good luck fellows

Just got settled in a shooting house with Windows and heater, gonna try to rough it out all day. Temp dropping fast and wind has turned out of the north.

Just got in tripod. Hoping they get on their feet with temps dropping

Sitting at the Motel in Camden AL waiting for the rain to end and will start participating in the Wilcox Academy Hunt this afternoon. Looking forward to a fun weekend, then over to my club in Clayton AL

I'm trying to get out there but its looking more and more like it will be tomorrow

About to leave Bham for my farm in Randolph County to hunt all weekend. Good luck guys.

Sitting in shooting house on power line foodplot. Just had a button buck come out feeding. Wind is howling here in Perry. County.

Just had a young 3 x ? cross at 300 yds. He was feeding as he crossed.

Saw 5 - 3 does and 2 spikes - had to leave to get some cough meds in me - this drop in temp had me started coughing again - don't reckon I'm gonna shake it - I'll be back in the stand shortly

Good luck guys.

I'm ready to get out but work doesn't want to let me go now!

Tell me about it.

Same.

Bud, I bet that is a great hunt. You should be close to hitting it right! Let know how it goes..

Small 6 just came down creek bottom browsing maybe the buck he was with a couple days ago will come through

In a shooting house on a small greenfield in a thick bedding area in Marengo County. They we're very active this morning. Saw a 7 point chasing a doe this morning. Hoping for the best this p.m.

Back on the power one foodplot this afternoon. Wind is brutal.

on a lil patch of clover in the snow here in limestone

In a ground blind watching a hayfield corner. I need a little luck. There were big running tracks where you come through the gate.
There’s a little rain, sleet and a snowflake on very now and then.

Shooting house. Wind is rattling the windows. Heater is having a hard time keeping up. I am beginning to question my intelligence.

Amen! I’m in a shooting house too and I’m beginning to wonder why I’m even out here...

Y’all need to build better shooting houses. My son is sitting beside me with his boots off.

The house I’m in is on a hill and it’s elevated about 14’. The outside walls are all tin. I’m convinced that it’s the coldest place in Alabama

I’m in the Ford watching a plot listening to the radio. Call me what you want but I ain’t cold.

I’m beginning to appreciate ground blinds more and more. I couldn’t have been out here today without it. Broke the wind and kept rain, snow, sleet off me. The wooltimate pullover and browning bibs doing their jobs too. I’m not cold and it’s 29 here.
Going to take it up a notch and bring my heater one of these days.
I’m not looking forward to getting Mr Peabody out to take a pee when I get back to truck.

I spent 3 days in a non running steel mill in Norther Indiana several years back. The highs were in the teens and I thought I was going to freeze to death. Cold Metal makes it feel colder somehow. I know exactly how you feel

I froze my butt off and didn’t see squat, but my Dad killed an older deer that we call “Too Tall”. He’s a 4+ year old 7 point that we have both of last year’s sheds from...Pics to come!!

I about froze to death in my climber. All my ropes were froze. Thought about cutting my damn safety line because it was froze and my fingers were numb. Got to the truck and both doors were froze so bad I finally just climbed through my back glass.

The lock on my gate was frozen and had to use my zippo to thaw it.
It was fine when I went in this afternoon.

Nice.

Big ol deer. Congrats to your dad!

AU..congrats to your dad. Thats a great buck! Glad yall are having fun hunting together!

Nice

^^This

I saw 5 does and my son killed a yote

Cool deer! Congrats to your Dad!

At 3:30 this afternoon I scratched the itch on my ole trigger finger. He is my #1 hit list buck and a dang fine one for a south Alabama pine goat. He’s my best deer from my home state grossing 143 6/8” as an 8 pt. I’m very very happy and truly a blessed man.

Wow!! Congrats, Mike!!!

We need pics Mike! Congrats

Congrats to your Dad, AU!

WOW!!!.... That's a big ol 8 no matter where he is from... ... Congrat's Squeeky.... ...NBK...

Congrat's AU.... Ol Pops keeps getting her done.... That's Awesome....

Dad killed the 3rd of 4 five year olds we have on the land this year. This guy was a home body and I never got his picture anywhere further than about 500 yards either side of the field he was killed in. He has stayed right there in about a 10 acre spot for the last 2 years.

Nice! Congrats to yall

Killed a decent 9 point this morning at 915,need help posting pics

Nice buck! Y'all consistently kill some good ones.

Thanka We normally have 3-5 old deer a year on 1200 acres. We have 1 deer left this year but he stays in a place that I rarely get pics of him and truthfully don't know of he is still alive or dead. He will be the biggest one we have ever killed of he is killed

Nice!

Great buck, Ben!! Congrats to y’all
