Who has kill a good buck on Alabama public land ? My best buck was a small 8pt (100 inch) on lauderdale WMA about 8 years ago, it was cold and windy I was setting in the back of the beaver swamp on "Man-bone " road I saw about 7-8 does come out of the pines about 8:30 that morning and filter right by me I almost shot one of them but didn't they were huge 130 pounders i watched them walk up the other side of the holler, were I heard gunfire, so I figured half them were killed. So I sat there there thinking I should have shot one of them the rest of the morning I started to climb down got about 5 feet from bottom of the tree when the 8 pt I shot came out of pines and was walking away from me my gun was on the ground I had lowered it , I pulled it up got it load but dropped the mag out but still had a round in the tube I fired and got him but damn I was shaking like crazy my best wma hunt . If y'all got one post it & pics if you got them

My biggest deer was killed about a mile from a WMA on Nat. Forest Land. 240lb. 10pt. This deer was making scrapes in October. Killed him on Thanksgiving day as he was urinating on his hocks.

Mine was killed on oakamulgee a few years back. I hunted all day trying to shoot a deer. Had a few does come by early no shot and moved 150 yds around lunch. After climbing new tree had a deer come by and no shot then some hogs came in and wallowed in a tree stump no shot. Finally climbed down too stalk hogs with no luck got back in stand. At 4:00 heard what I thought was a squirrel and saw a rack crossing below me about 120 yds. Put the bullet where it counted and had a 9 point on the ground double brow tines on one side could be called a 10. I'll post picks in the morn. [img:center]http://
