LFTT 1-13-18 Booger Style

I just put the finishing touches on my 20ga buck thumper and am now putting on the first of ten layers of clothing to battle this cold windy day. Y’all shoot straight, have fun, use good gun safety, and wear your dang harness. God bless

I'll be in a tree in Westover this morning. should he a good morning. good luck and God bless

Me and the father in law getting ready to head over to the club. Should be a good week of hunting at our place. Usually when our big boys start showing up. Good luck and seat warm out there

Holy cow. Wind chill says 17 here. Gonna see how long I can take it on the edge of a cutover this morning. For sale sign just went up on the land I hunt so my dad as may be dwindling

In a house watching a green patch and one their main trails where they cross the road. Good luck

First time in a tree in 2 weeks. Hope I can hang on to this thing.

Up a tree on a WMA down here. Someone beat me to the spot I wanted, so I'm at plan B hoping a legal one walks by.

Yaw mad at 'em!

I done hit burn out stage....got no will to fight that wind this morning.

Just got in shooting house with daughter. Windows are froze shut

7pt just came out into cutover

I wasnt going to be able to hunt today...my wifes grandfathers heating unit went out the other day so I'll be replacing it this morning. Ya'll stay warm, be safe amd kill a biggun.

On the ground on a hillside. Checked my camera on the way in expecting some good pics after a full week. I FORGOT TO TURN IT ON!

You're getting old Mark! Senior moment! If ya'll have the wind we had yesterday one might fly by and you'll have to shoot him or her on the wing! Stay warm goobers. I hope you have some Cabelas Windstopper on! Hunt Safe!

Sure is nice and warm in bed this Am! I'll get after them later today

Where is this wind y'all speak of? I'm quite comfy in this climber.

In a ladderstand down wind of the river hunting a corn and clover field. Wind chill said 13 here this morning but I think they forgot the - sign.

I'm waiting on mid day, but will be out there at some point.

I'm in the office. Folks gotta see on weekends too! Good luck y'all!

Dr. B

had 5 or so does and buttons come up on me and one was a little to smart. Ended up getting blown at but i’ll be back out there within the hour.

gotta climb higher

Got a community mission project with the students this morning, but I'll be out there this afternoon if we get done in time. Good luck all.

At least it's warm!

Wanted to try it yesterday, but wound up working on one of the rent houses until dark. Been working on this for about a month, but we now have reached the summit and are on the down hill slide. I shoot two bucks a year, and I killed another nice 8 pt the week of Christmas so I have basically tagged out. Have fun and stay warm today. I just ain't as mad at em as I used to be.

My alarm went off at 5 and I turned that sucker off and slept in. I'm in the burnt out stage but will give it a go right after lunch until dark

Going to give it a go this afternoon as well, was in the ER with the wife’s migraine til midnight couldn’t answer the alarm this morning.

I'm headed to cracker barrel the heck with hunting in this crap

Had. To. Climb. Down The. Wind. Is. Angry Cold. This. Morning!!!! Sitting In. Truck. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Had the 9 pnt ive been hunting at 50 yds and broadside, coulda killed him dead. The only problem with shooting him was it being 5:30 this AM. He was standing in the old road bed as I was walking in. He was headed toward his bedding area and I shoulda stayed in bed.

High School pageant this evening, so doing some side jobs this a.m. and hope to get after them tomorrow and Monday. Good luck and stay warm.

One off them days I'm glad I Tagged out on 1-8-18 exactly a year to the day from last year when I was done . Hoping to put the wife on a 135 " ten that's been eluding me or the trophy 17-18" beamed 4 yr spike I passed on two weeks ago . Both are trophies in my opinion.

Hunted the same ladder stand this AM as yesterday, when I saw a 200+ lb hog, a doe and a fawn. Nothing moving this morning but at 9:45 spooked a doe. Hunting in Wilcox County on the Wilcox Academy Hunt. Going back to the same stand after lunch- I’ve killed four bucks and a huge bobcat from it in prior years

Did the other hunters bring any many bucks yesterday or this morning?

I’m in my ladder doing a little midday sit. Very disappointed with camera pull by the stand. This spot has not turned out as I’d hoped.
Going to sit it for an hour or so, then go watch my niece play ball.
Got to come up with me a plan B for my next few deer sits....

Was able to get one of my drivers his first buck, dropped it af 7:30. Going to sit in the honey hole this afternoon. Haven't hunted this 4 acre pasture since last season but last camera pull showed a promising bruiser coming everyday in the evening.

This tree is rockin.

Good news two new scrapes close to stand

I went to the Nat'l Forest about 1/2 mile from the Cheaha State Park, made a big walking loop for about 2.5 hours. Surprisingly, I saw a lot of sign, just no deer.

Did a 4 hour sit in ladder, wind was 15-20 at times,uncomfortable but rut us on in Wilcox, couple chases, couple spikes and a nice mature 9pt that did not offer a good shot

Bout froze my finger tips off and didn't see anything. Wind was up around 20mph. I came home and made some deer sausage, eggs, and homemade biscuits. I'm warm by the fire now.

I'm at it this afternoon. Missed a small buck this morning hoping for redemption this afternoon. Thought I'd get in a bottom to get out of the wind and all it's done is made it swirl

I got skunked this morning. On a green field on powerline this afternoon. My dad killed an 8 about 30 mins ago in Colbert county chasing a doe.

We're going to change your screen name to ikillbuxbutonlyinpleasantweather

I’m back at it in Pickens County. Sitting in a hardwood drain in a cutover, good luck to all.

Sitting in a shooting house out of the wind. Couldn't make myself hunt outta the climber today.

Looking over a green field hoping the wind will lay lol

My buddy forgot his boots and is hunting with tennis shoes on. Pretty sure he just left lol

I’m in a shooting house in a low bottom along the creek this afternoon. It’s much, much more comfortable conditions than yesterday afternoon!!

Fixed it

Pretty sure every deer within a 5 mile radius smelled me this evening. 3 different groups from 3 different directions blew at me. Damn wind just flat sucked.

seen 13 total today at lowndes wma. biggun i was hunting wouldnt check up hounding a doe at 50 yards. started to sling one at him but i'll catch up to him before season out. got a bead on his azz now.

I can't argue!! Lawd, I hunt SO much in October and November, that I'm just out of gas by now. I did finally go today though, I'll pat myself on the back!

I saw 7 deer this afternoon, but nothing worth shooting

Killed a doe this afternoon. Saw 5 more at 5 pm but got blown up thanks to all this swirling wind.

Finally killed my first racked buck after many near misses and close calls. Feels great to get the monkey off my back. He’s no giant but I couldn’t be happier with him.

I saw 9. The little buck my daughter missed stood about 15yds in front of me for 10min before dark. Joney was at home. He gets closer every time i see him(8 times now). When he crawls up in the shooting house sith me, im gona strangle him to death.

Congrats! Good deer!

Way to go NW! Heck of a first rack there!

Saw two bucks and ten does..

Congrats!!!

Congratulations, NW!

Thick racked 6pt, 2 does, boar and sow this evening, don't shoot pigs on rut hunts

Killed my biggest yet....he is a young eight pointer so not a hoss by any means. But he is special to me being he is the first one I have killed on our small property after trying for five years! Can someone post pics for me?

Congrats to the killers!

Well I didn’t pull the trigger, but the day turned out great. I didn’t get hypothermia nor do I think I will lose any digits to the brutal cold wind this morning. My pastor’s son killed his first racked deer, an 8pt this morning. This evening a young lady shot her first deer, a 4pt. It was a good day.

nice ...^
