Settled in a tree way up on a mtn in Jackson County waiting on bambi's grandpappy. Found a few scrapes on the way in, maybe he'll come freshen them this morning. Good luck and be safe.

Winston county here. Watching a food plot bordering a nasty thicket.

🤔😄

Watching some thick stuff here in Tuskegee. Plenty of folks in the woods this morning so something should move. Good luck fellas!

Here in Monroe county. Looking over peanut field with older clear cut behind me. Seen 2 does just at good light-feeding through the field.

Good luck gents.

In a big cutover up on a ridge wind is kicking

Stuck at work. Nice morning at the office in Monroe County. I need to be in the woods hunting. Good luck to y'all.

Just got in my ground blind in Elmore county. Bout time we got some cooler weather. Good luck to everybody.

Yes it is.

One of my friends I’m hunting with just shot one here at Tuskegee NF. They must be moving this morning. Will update with pics when he finds it.

Are you hunting in PRV? Just curious what the rut report was in the areas your hunting.

Here in Monroe County. Saw 2 does at daybreak and a 4 pt about 730. Wind is starting to picking up now...

Must have picked a good tree had 3 does come and browse around 30 yards from me for 30 mins. One got to 10 steps. They were alone. No bucks with any of them, strange.

🙄 👍

Got real windy in the past hour or so

Watching a 3 fingered food plot surrounded by natural growth pine and hardwood. So thick you cant walk through it. Flooded river bottom behind it. Thought the high water might push some deer out of the swamp and up toward this higher ground. Haven't seen a deer yet.

Congrats I used the love to hunt out there.

Slept in this morning had a few things to do at the house however I'm bout to head to a shooting house in 6 yo cutover on a food plot

I killed a biggun this morning. Chasing a doe. I'll post a pic in a few.

Congrats Slippin!!

Nice!

Congrats slippin

First sit in this stand all year hoping for some action

Back in the wood box. You know they call this torture in some countries. Itll be better in a little while when the deer start pouring out.

Back in the ground blind on our 11 acre plot on green mtn. Seen a couple bucks coming in in the evenings, but will take a doe if I see one. Trying to get one more in the freezer!

Slippin please mount him with his eye shut like that hah. Znritchie just missed a coyote with the bow.

I need something in a fur coat t show up now.
It was fun watching these lil gals.

On my east wind stand where I killed one 4 weeks ago, 6pt crossed in front at 4, doe walked by then another 6pt following and grunting

In swamp hunting a big boy

76 Robbins so far here

I'm also in a swamp and these BIG sumbeechin skeeters are about to run me out. I smacked one a minute ago and blood splattered on the wall 😯 Bastages so big they need landing gear 😄

Sat down about 4:30, one spike so far

Congrats on the kill slippin

Wow what a day. Congrats gents!! I saw nothing but the stray lab that showed up at my house. He tracked me to the stand!! Good dog but glad he gets a new home tomorrow.

Congrats to the killers!

Thanks jb20

Saw the big boy this afternoon with a doe. 3 seconds and he was gone. I’ll be in his living room this weekend. Saw another small 6. All before 3pm. Just started putting down good sign this week.

Had 22 on a greenfield this evening 2 pretty good bucks, 4-5 smaller bucks and the rest does and yearlings . All bucks acted a little goofy fighting and running but in the end they all just ended up with their face buried in a corn pile . There wasn’t any urgency in the chasing just like they were doing it just because .

Congrats on the kills! Nice bucks.

Congratulations on the nice bucks today to the killers!

Awesome Bucks Yall Congrats.... Jasper dont take this the wrong way......but your wife may need her a vision checkup....

Congrats to the killers! I took a evening off for the ole lady after 3 days of 12 hrs shifts on a break down job

Congrats on the kills, guys. I missed a yote late this afternoon

Congrats guys on the kills.

It was tag and release

I like the character of those knarly bases....And that kicker.... Beautiful Family and a fine fine buckdeer....Hes a goodun.....

Congrats on the kills today guys. It was a total strike out for us.

Snuffed him out.....Just like on survivor....

Yea we were in lower PRV. Not really sure about the rut, this is only the 3rd time I've hunted this place. Saw plenty of fresh rubs and a few scrapes but no deer today. Intel tells me that they were chasing hard on a neighboring club 3 weeks ago.

I don’t have good enough service at camp to post pictures on imgur

Thanks for all the congrats.

Congrats on the nice bucks guys!!!

Congrats to the killers!

Nice kills fellas

Some fine ones fellas! Congrats

We had a great time. Thanks for ferrying me up the mountain. Maybe we will find bullwinkle next time. May have to burn some sick time!

Sorry it took me 4 days to post but I did not have enough service to upload to imgur. It’s 4 of us hunting 300 acres there is a creek that runs through out property and separates it so we have 100 acres on the other side of the creek. We are usually able to walk across or at least get a 4 wheeler across the creek but have been unable to do that since November because of all the rain. We decided that this weekend we where going to bring a John boat and cross the creek and hunt. So we hopped in the boat and crossed 2 people at a time. I decided to hunt the stand the furthest away on the back side of the property. It’s a flat spot where 3 ridges end. I got in the stand at about 245 at 450 2 does come down through the bottom and feed about 45 yards in front of me. About 10 minutes later big boy is on the ridge to my right about 80 yards away. He’s looking at the does. I quickly grabbed my .270 and shot. I had to shoot left handed which that is the first time I have ever shot a rifle left handed. He falls and then gets up and runs about 20 yards and falls again. I climbed down and went over to him, he was still kicking so I put another bullet in him with my pistol to finish him off. (Guess I shouldn’t have climbed down so fast but I was excited. ) I was enjoying the moment. I finally put my hands on him. I was really excited and the I realized it was about a 600 yard walk from the boat to where I was at. Luckily, we had recently purchased a JET sled and had brought it with us across the creek. We loaded the deer up and started hauling I carried the deer most of the way but luckily I hunt with a bunch of good people who were willing to help drag. We finally got back to the John boat and pulled the deer across the creek on the jet sled behind the boat. We then hooked up the jet sled to the four wheeler and took the deer back to camp. I got it gutted packed down with ice and then enjoyed an awesome steak dinner that one of the guys cooked. Had a few beers that night and ended up sleeping in the next morning until about 7:30 and took the deer to the processor.

That sounds like a fun hunt! Congrats

I imagine sightings this afternoon are gonna be great

MAN!!!! That's doing it right! Good job on the fine buck and celebration!!

Thanks! It was a good weekend

Congrats for buck n good left hand shot 👍

Heck yeah

Good stuff! Congrats!
