LFTT 12/1

It’s a cold one boys, Get the hot hands out!!! Big bright moon out there good luck to all the hunters In The woods!!! Post up pics for is sorry fellas at work!!!

Sure wish I could be on a cutover bout now. Damn fine out there.

28 in Bertha this morning and my son just got in the stand on a clearcut. I didn’t have many pics after midnight amazingly but they have to be on their feet somewhere. Good luck!

Beutiful morning. Watching a cutover for a little while before I start looking for buck i shot yesterday. Today is my 39th birthday . Finding that buck sure would make for a great one.

28 in Elmore. Back it the ladder I saw two does out of yesterday morning. Got two bucks on camera I would like to put my scope on.

Good luck to you bud!

Its finely cool enough to hunt! Goodluck

27 in Perry County. Beautiful morning. Hunting power line food plot.

Good luck guys
Squirrels barking here - maybe he is coming 😀

Living through y'all todaybe back afterem tommorow good luck and stay warm

I'm cheering you on Shiloh, and happy birthday!

Good luck shiloh and happy Birthday

I can't go today but I see horns on the ground coming soon from some of y'all. Too nice a morning to be at work. Dangit.

Sitting in a cutover this morning had a spike ease thru just a few minutes ago, should be a good day! Good luck 👍

Sitting on a cutover in Greene County this cold morning. Good luck fellas!

Alabama deer ain't used to this kind of cold. They don't move at all.
This afternoon will be good, cause they'll be hungry, from laying up all day.

This guy^^ you got your socks under your crocs today? Still waiting on a power line

Against my better judgement I decided not to hunt the clearcut and am in an oak bottom in Baldwin county. Beautiful morning.

8 does feeding now on food plot. 12 so far this morning. No bucks.

A bobcat, 5 does and a young 6pt so far. He was running around shaking his pecker at one of the does. 😆

I’ll be in the woods around 9:20 and sit till 1. Once frost burns off watch out!!

Deer been moving hard all morning on me

2 more does.....

Pics we need pics!!!!!

8 does and a spike so far

Keyboard, monitor, mouse, and cup of coffee

Sounds like we are hunting the same area

2 more and nannerhead down.

Pics or it doesn't happen.

Set up in the thick

This may be the coldest day this season

Just sat down for a few hr sit then goin slip around

Best hunt of the year so far for me. Brought my bow out l, sat on a little hardwood knoll I knew had been tore up with rubs last year, and blind grunted up a bachelor group that had a really nice mature 8 point with them. I was at full draw and he was just about to hit my 30 yard window and made a turn at the last second walking away. I pulled out all the tricks on him, snort wheezed, grunted some more, but he wouldn't commit to coming over. I got to watch this deer make at least three scrapes and smack around a half dozen trees he was so pissed off at me. One of his satellite spikes came over to investigate at about 10 yards and I had to bear hug my bow with frozen hands for about 15minutes while I watched big boy in the back at 60.

After about 45 minutes and the spike easing off I thought big boy and his buddy were going to feed my way, but something off in the distance spooked the lead one and they bounded off.

Intense

Was a good morning for me. I hunted before work. Was late getting to my spot and already had deer out. Was a good 8pt on the treeline when I walked in but he eased off before I could kneel down and get a shot off. About the same time a group of 6 does and a buck behind them ran behind me across the field. All within 5 minutes of me walking into the spot and being about 10ft from the ladder stand. When. They ran off I went ahead and got into the ladder stand and within 30 minutes a 6pt came out. Shot him with the 45-70. Gutted and skinned and hanging on the skid steer at our shop now. all without being late for work. Deer are out today boys.

Those damn cell cams have been sending me pictures all morning with some nice bucks standing there in broad daylight and I’m stuck trying to make a dollar

They just got up a walked over to the camera to mess with you.

Fixing slip one up in a big cutover, my favorite way to hunt.

3 pt so far got ohtnwent hung a stand bout go sit till dark

Cutover, gasline, or woods this evening? About to start putting on layers

Shiloh you find any sign?

Well no luck fella's..I tracked him for 450 yards and lost blood in a deep hollow about 200 yards from the property line. I covered the remaining property in the hollow but no deer no blood. Sick... Big thanks to Morris for offering to help track . Unfortunately I'm all out of time till late Friday evening or Saturday. Work ruins everything.
In hindsight I just made a piss poor shot. Sucks to because I shot my steel plates in that same cutover and from same hill back during the summer...more than once. I had a decent shooting lane but wind was blowing so hard the sage would block my window and I believe I miss timed my shot between wind gusts. My eyes feel like beef jerkey after the last 36 hours. I had him dead to rice until he wasn't..

This ^^^^

Tuff Luck Shiloh - pretty sure most of us hav been there - I no I hav experienced it more than once

Not where I'm at. Deer everywhere this morning. Every field I drove past this morning had deer in it. But this afternoon should be great as well.

Just got on stand early for the afternoon - hunted w my gun this morn at big field - 4 slick heads - on my bow only lease this afternoon- they should move

Sounds like lot of u guys already had good hunts - DirkDaddy sounded like he had heck of hunt

Joe - u asked several replies back - not sure what sign you have on your hardwoods but cutover or gasoline sound hard to beat

Good luck guys

Deer from this morning.

Pro tip of the day.....

Don’t take deer movement tips from Outback or Ben2. 🙄

I saw a bunch this morning out tracking for folks.....they seemed to be on the move.

100% accurate statement there Shaw.

—break—

Shiloh, sure hate to hear you didn’t recover him. I’ve been there and it sucks. Hopefully that buck will recover.

Congrats ValleyDawg - good for you

Already got a pile of deer out. Only been here 5 mins

Doe down. Got set up and a pile of them came out 5 mins later

Just gave a nice 7pt a pass.

Cool. How much does that can tame that lever gun..??

Been in a tree for about an hour now. Cedars, limestone and small red oaks near the top of a big wash on the south facing slope
. Good luck to ll

Just got in a stand with a perfect west wind, hoping to get a big fat doe or a good buck this afternoon. Good luck everybody!

Been here since a little after 2.
They have been in and out since 2:17.


First tine this field has been hunted.
Just waiting to see what else shows up.

God Bless,
David B.

I'm out here in my usual spot. Nice evening to be hunting.

That looks good BOFF - love the Nefertiti’s been hunted this year part

Had lot of success over years by hunting fields for the first time in a season

Got one field left I hav not hunted I am saving for my son - pretty young 8 been coMing regular - can’t get NE wind

I love low pressure

I scouted some cutovers, but wasn’t happy setting up on them. Ended up on the gasline with a cutover on one side and thinned pines on the other.

6 doe so far and 1 that keep blowing but won’t come in

Deer everywhere this pm.....

Ita cold.

I'm glad yall are seeing them. I ain't seen nothing yet.

I like that lever lever gun valleydawg.

I told y'all this evning was gonna be good.
One day y'all will learn, outback is always right.

That was a pretty easy call to make!

I've got 8 in my back yard right now.
One 3 year old 8pt who shows up every day begging to get shot.

Thanks bud. Haven't shot one in the past couple years and finally decided to. Fixing to cook up the inner loins now. Wanted to go on doe patrol this evening but just ended up having to work later than I wanted.

Thanks. This is my favorite rifle. Had John Gallagher do some work to it several years ago when I first got it. I love this thing.

It cuts down the noise ALOT. The barrel is cut down to 16.5” so it makes a big boom without the can. Saves my ears for sure. It does cut down on recoil too but the SBL is pretty heavy anyway so it doesn't recoil bad at all in my opinion.

Anybody got any thoughts on which morning will be better in central Alabama. Either tomorrow or Thursday?

My deer move better when ground is thawed but I've seen good bucks after ice storm too..I just go whenever I can..I didn't see jack this evening

Thursday will be better.

Finally saw a fawn and momma this afternoon, that's it.

My daughter killed her largest yet this pm. I let the kids say if they want to shoot a buck with no rebuttal from me these days. I nearly ruined them in their early years being picky. She said she wanted to kill him. So I told her make it happen.

Congrats to you and your daughter 257!

Congrats to your daughter!

Congrats Matt!

Nice deer! Congrats

Awesome 257 - congrats to your daughter- great deer for a youth -she will never forget that

My daughter turned 8 today and killed her first deer... best day ever is what she told me.. if someone wants to post pics for me I will send them to you

Congrats to you and your daughter 257!!

Congrats 257!

Congrats!

Nice deer! Congrats to the young woman.

Congrats to her. Very nice buck

Congrats 257

First time I’ve hunted at our farm this year. Decided to carry my dad’s Winchester model 70. I’ve never hunted with it before. I was watching three does feeding when my wife called me. I talked to her and 5 minutes later, this fellow walked out. First buck I’ve shot at our farm in 16 years.

Awesome.

Congrats on yours too doekiller

Congrats! Even cooler that you got him with a gun that means something to you. I have 30-30 that my dad gave me when I was a kid, a hunt just feels better when I use that one.

Congrats doekiller...memories there...

Congrats all!

Scott

Killed a 5 point gnarly messed up rack public land special this afternoon!

Congrats to everyone that got one today.

Congrats doekiller and southwood - it was a good day

Congrats on the kills!

Some deers died today ! Happy for yall

I think someone hacked his ALDEER account, Southwood ain’t ever been that clean cut😂 and that guy has one of those expensive fancy coolers too

Who is the guy southwood posted a picture of?

Haha! I miss the beard, I’m growing it back now 😂

Hey, I haven’t had to buy ice in 17 months. I just open the lid and it’s always full 😀

You really do need to grow your beard back. Not being a dick. But.

Well I had one on my cell camera this afternoon at 4:30. Congrats on kills!!

I know, I know. I look like a goofy kid.

Son reported in, deer on their feet and feeding this evening . Couple of spikes and several does . He took out mr coyote after he cleared the field. One less fawn and turkey killer .

I almost didn’t recognize you without the beard and swollen face LOL...Just kidding!! Congrats to you and all the killers today!!!

passed on a big ol' doe this afternoon on a game plot. hoping she and her sisters keep coming there in peace until the rut. i'd of killed her if i - and she - been in the woods instead ...

Congrats to everyone on the kills today!

11 yr old and I saw 5 momma and twins that always come out when she is with me and 2 real small bucks right at dark. Thought the nice 8 that runs with em just might step out but not today.
