LFTT 12/6/19

Sitting in select cut pines this morning.,Wind in my face and of course the doe walks in behind me. Ugh

Present, for a little while. Bumped some deer coming in this morning. It’s about to start raining here in Madison county, and I’m not very high on the mountain so I can beat feet to the truck.

Sitting in quail cut pines. No deer yet, had some pigs run through before it was bright enough to shoot.

In a clear cut watching it and field we cut into it. Just had a wide broken off 6 point feed through the field.

Just started pouring down rain.. joy joy.. maybe something will move..sadly my sons in a tripod.. I told him to head to a shooting house

I'm out here too I saw a bunch of deer on the way home from Mercedes maybe they are on there feet

Got a treebrella over my head as it's starting to sprinkle in Perry county. Bumped one walking into my other climber but the wind wasn't right. Set a camera over a fresh scrape yesterday and already have a 3 yr. old 8 pt. on cam this morning.

Present in Winston Co nothing yet

Wasn't hunting but saw a good buck running across back pasture so I went n cut him off on backside n had him in scope at 50yards but couldn't get steady on him goin thru woods

Seen 6 so far

Saw that big crazy looking Spike again another small buck and 4 does

Leaving work at lunch and heading to the woods. Boat is hooked up in parking lot and gear is already packed. Leaving the plant heading straight to the woods. Rain should drop off significantly after lunch. Very excited.

3 bucks killed already this morning at the club. They're starting to get on their feet now

That’s good to hear. I’m gonna go this afternoon.

what are quail cut pines?

Just stopped raining in Bibb had 14 turkeys pop out, hopefully the deer get to moving after the rains.

If I had to guess I'd say thinned pines with wide lanes between them with sage being the primary ground cover.

Yeah but they normally don’t have but 20-30 trees per acre.

Just got set up on the ground overlooking a hardwood bottom. I'm trying to intercept a buck that's been scraping. I already have three deer 30 yards in front of me.

I’m present and have a fresh scrape peas than 20 yards from my ladder stand.

First gun hunt of the year for me. Excited to be out here.

I’ve got a decent 8 showing up on camera most evenings about 30 minutes after dark. Got a good idea of his access route, so I decided to slip down here about 300yds closer to where he is coming from. Kind of a desperation play, but the rut is about to kick in and I’ve got neighbors that are like the plague on deer. Fingers crossed.

I know what you mean I have that problem plus poachers.. good luck on the 8pt.

I'm here had 2 eagles fly over making sounds...pretty cool

Heard one walking the bottom but I couldn't get the wind just right for where it came in at. Got busted and never got to see it.

It has gotten foggy, visibility down to zip, can't see 100 yds on this powerline

Bucks have disappeared. Saw 16 doe tho so it was a great afternoon.

Watched 1 spike for about 40 minutes. I'll take it over seeing nothin!

Sat over a spot this afternoon after the rain passed through the Winston Co., saw a buck cruising, but couldn't get on him. Big body, but really couldn't tell much on the antlers, think it might have been a 6pt or forked horn.

A quail cut is a very sparse thinning that allows for natural vegetation to grow under the canopy. This improves habitat for “quail”. Like a couple of other guys have said there are very few trees per acre and mostly sage grass with rolling hills. A lot of prescribed burning is needed when your timber is like this or else you will have sweet gums and other unwanted vegetation take over.
