LFTT 10/17

Headed to T-Town. Forgot my helmet. Set up in a swamp chestnut. Hope to post a pic around daylight. Good luck boys.

Good luck. Sitting here in the breakroom at work wishing I could go.

Thanks buddy. Been fighting the urge to reschedule patients since Wednesday

Good luck guys us southern boys will be hunting through you

Boys it is a cool 46 degrees in Tuscaloosa county. And it is absolutely beautiful. Waited since May for this! On a lovely little private field in some thick pines. Just had a breakfast bar and a bottle of water. Camera shows good bucks here every morning

Dang I love the fog. I'm setup in a hardwood grove / thicket 15 ft up. Open field is 30 yards from me. God willing I will enjoy this beautiful place again today. Good luck everyone and be careful

Good luck

Sitting in a cedar tree on side of a mountain. Cutover to my left, acorns to my right, deer trails everywhere. Will have to be a new world record for me to shoot.

Hunting Bankhead National Forest this morning. I'm sitting in hardwoods on a logging road that leads right into some short pines and it's raining acorns. This could get interesting!

Sitting in some pines in GA. Tomorrow is rifle opener so may be a while before I carry the bow again for a bit. Need to get one down!

Checking in from Redstone Arsenal 40' up another pine. Not sure why I'm here though, cause we all know there ain't no deer on RSA.

No deer. But an owl just about made me jump out of the tree. Damn thing was right above me and let's just say I may need to do a load of laundry now

Sitting on a small green field. It's chilly this morn in Bibb county. Had a ton of action yesterday afternoon passed a 3yo prob 105 inch 8pt. Saw 4 rack bucks and 10-12 does. Hopefully the action happens fast this morn cause I gotta be out by 8!

I hear them working over to my left. Dunno how many no visual yet

On a hardwoods ridge on some acorns also in Tuscaloosa co.

Selfie time!

Well the wind is not doin what I thought it was goin to.... And it blowin kinda hard here in Blount county. I'm set up on a fire break with thick pines in front cut over to my back and acorns everywhere. Good ick everyone!

17 ft up a hickory tree in southeast Madison County. Just inside a hardwood thicket with 30 acres of standing beans behind me and and white oaks in front of me. Cool and foggy. Good luck today boys.

Good luck yall be safe. I am here at work foaming out the mouth waiting for Sat morning.

Good luck guys!

I'm in the hardwoods at the farm for my first hunt of the year. I've got white oaks all around me and I've heard a few falling...Man, it's great to be back in a tree again...No critters so far

Just smoked a doe at 20yds. Had 5 come by. Here's a pick of my nocturnal.

Recently thinned pines next to 200 yard x 100 yard oak finger

Good luck everyone! I will be back in the woods this afternoon!

Acouple of does here soo far

One deer that's it so far.

Back in the same tree as opening day! The wind has a nice chill to it this morning.

Sitting in a white oak about 18 feet up on a hardwood ridge with a creek bottom to my left and thinned pines about 50 yards to my right. Squirrels are everywhere this morning. It was 46 degrees here this am and calm wind so far. Fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone that's hunting and to those who aren't I hope you get to hunt soon!!!!

Just smoked a doe at 20 yards. Came from down wind too! Glad I didn't leave !!!

Nothing but skwrls here

Just had 2 button bucks come by at 25 yards.

Congrats SMB!

Spike has come in and starting chasing the button bucks!

Good luck guys. Be safe

Congrats on the kills. Good luck all.

Just had another spike chase a doe and two yearlings by me. He was steady grunting!! Rut here in N Ga not far off!!

Congrats on the kills so far this morning. About to go hang a couple stands for this afternoon...

Just got busted by one that snuck up behind me. Hate when that happens. Looked around didn't see anything moved my butt a little in the seat and the blowing was on. It was directly behind about 15 yards. DOHHHH

Just had a STUD 8 point come into 40 yards. Had no clear shot. He disappeared like a ghost!!

Good luck guys still got a week here in south Bama Cgard your dad showed me a pic with some fine bucks get after em

Well for the first time in my life I shot a deer and can not find it. I thought the shot was good. I had s pass through blood on my arrow but it had guts too. I thought I heard her crash so I went in after her. I jumped a deer it ran off blowing. No blood no deer. I'm sick

Atta Boy! Tree Top Terrorists on the board!

I had a short hunt this morning. Nothing moving but a Polaris ranger on the neighbors property.

If you bow hunt long enough it happens. I shot one last year a little high. Complete pass through but no blood. She ran into thick brush and I had no trail to follow.

I saw 2 deer running through the woods at 9:00. At 9:02, a black dog and a white dog came ripping through on the deer's trail...that was the only action I had. I called it a morning about 10:00

she ran into a pine thicket... I walked up and down back and forth for an hr or more no clue where she went. I feel terrible. Thinkin about it I was all excited that my scent control measures were workin she was at 15 yards and I rushed the shot...

Saw ten total this mornin. Largest being a wide 6. I gave him a pass. 4 bucks 6 does. Gonna hit it in the am. Had 3 chestnut oaks dropping within 30 yards

One of those mornings....y'all ever get up a tree and realize you ain't gonna be able to sling no arras more than 5 yards cause of how thick it is? That was me this morning, I was pretty loud on my descent and it took me a bit to find another one. Felt like it messed my whole morning. Next week awaits. Good luck everyone going out this afternoon.

The big 8 I saw over here this morning was not one of those either!!

My view this morning seen 6 doe and a 3 point danger close [img:center]http://[/img] [img:center]http://[/img] [img:center]http://[/img]

All settled in for the evening. This is one of the big buck lairs. I know of two bigguns lurking in here. The wind is right unfortunately it's blowing around 15 mph. The deer get right close to you in this stand so I'm lol 3d'd out good luck to everybody!

First hunt of the year for me. Sitting on a bench with nothing but oak trees around. Good luck fellas.

Back where I saw 8 this morning including a big 8 point. Here's the scrape I watched him make 40 yards from my stand!!

Settled in about 30 minutes ago on a creek/ downed fence crossing. Trail is raw dirt

Sitting in a funnel area between oaks and a bedding area. It's hot and the wind has started gusting.

I'm in a thick, primarily water oak hollow (like an SMZ for you pine plantation hunters), between a super-thick swamp and planted pines. It's raining water oak acorns in here and I spotted a nice rub on my way in...this is "close quarters", so I've really gotta be on my toes. Good luck, everyone!

Back in the saddle again. I'm sitting in an acorn flat between a creek and a gasline in Greene County. Man this feels great after the month I've had.

Since selfies are the new thing on here, here's a selfie depicting what I'm looking for this evening!!

Don't want to know what you used to snap that picture with cgardner

Shot a coyote this morning. Came in hot at 15 yards. Had to rush it to get the shot and hit her a little low. Got the sternum and bottom of the heart. Ran about 100 yards and pilled up. No deer seen this morning and didn't make it back out this evening. Good luck guys and be safe

I'm settled in my climber overlooking a white oak flat in Samantha Alabama. I've got my turkey creek longbow locked and loaded with Gold Tip Traditional Hunters topped off with razor sharp Simmons tree sharks 175 grains. I swear I can hear the arras growling! Skwirls are barking! Gotta go!

I just sent a Gold Tip through a big ol' nannerhead at 25 yards.

Way to go Shaw

Good way to start off the season Shaw. Congrats.

Congrats shaw. Didn't waste any time breaking that new bow in.

Just killed my first with a bow.. what a feeling. Big spike at 7 yards from my tree.ran 20 yards and dropped.

That's what im talkin bout... Congrats aint no feelin like makin a good shot...

Went strait to woods after work. In stand for 45 min. After dragging it out 1.5 miles I need one of those frosty mugs. Left four wheeler at house.

Congrats on getting your cherry popped UGAhatr!!!

Congrats to all. Headed to Pickens County now. I'm stoked!

X2!

Git you some tail!

Wanted to send pics this morning but I didn't even get a chance to sit down the entire mornin. Got up, pulled bow up and inserted grizzly to lower left quadrant and a fawn ran full speed under my stand. Didn't stop from there. I will post some pics of this spot I've been talking about so much on here in the mornin

She ended up not missing. Caught bottom of belly best I can tell. Wasn't as tore up as I thought. She ended up seeing 9

Congrats y'all, still here at work

Dang, got skunked, did see a huge bobcat but couldn't get it to stop. It was running after squirrels. Congrats shaw! I'll be at it again tomorrow morning.

I saw a lone doe this afternoon and had her at less than 10 yds for 5 minutes. She had me pegged (I was wide open on that side), but I was finally able to draw. She froze whenever I drew, but I needed her to take one more step to clear a limb. I stayed at full draw for 30-45 seconds, but instead of her taking that one step, she took off trotting...was a great hunt! I was tore up when she was right there in my lap!

Shot a doe. Lost blood. Waiting for reinforcements...

Keep us updated, hope ya find it

Hunted morning and evening didn't see a deer.Going in the morning
before back tot he work grind for 5 days.

Didn't see a deer this evening. About to catch some shut eye and go after them again in the morning.

Got it. Thank you to the helpers...

Congrat mmusso, I'm getting my morning coffee then off to the woods

Congrats to all that killed. I got skunked until I walked out, several standing in my yard.

That is dang impressive! Congrats!
