I've made it to the Napa in Woodstock. Now just waiting on them to open.

OK IF U WAS CLOSE TO THE SHELBY COUNTY AREA ID SWING BY AND LEND A HAND

IF YOU END UP NEEDING A RIDE OR SOMETHING HIT ME UP

Climbed a mountain, hung a stand, climbed up got locked in by 545. Wind is perfect, got 2 persimmon trees 20 yards in front giving up their goods, 5:47 deer start blowing and running everywhere

Sitting on the edge of a field with a few acorn trees around me. Good luck everybody.

Just dropped my pull rope. Climbing down is going to be fun...

Set up on a logging road with thinned pines to my left and oaks in front of me. Saw 6 deer here last weekend. Good luck .. everyone

I'm just below a big peanut field on a ridge with white oaks dropping and a thick, grown up clearcut next to me. Good luck everybody!

Set up between two fields in a narrow strip of oaks. Glad I'm not the only one having a crazy morning. Good luck to all stay safe

Ran a couple off walking in. Beautiful morning.

Just getting daylight, to my left totes are howling and to my right a gobbler is tearing it up right now

I'm settled in on a ridge, got acorns raining down right out in front of me. Good luck everyone.

In the pines between two oak bottoms.

Sitting on the edge of a select cut, with oaks all around, and 3 intersecting roads. Lots of sign.

My view this morning

Got a funny look this morning walking in the gas station with only my thin base layer and flip flops on. Saw 5-6 eating on the side of the highway driving down. Bumped 2 in the dark between the truck and the tree. Hard to walk quiet it's so dry.

I'm set up in a funnel between a green field and bedding area and I brought my buddy hunting for his first time today he has never killed a deer and only been in the woods once before he is set up about 500 yards away in a pine thicket that borders white oaks with a crossbow hopefully he will lay one down and pop his cherry today

I'm in a white oak with several more around me, on my south fence line, with my 1yo clearcut to the north. Thick gums and junk south of me. I have a spike that's bout 20yrds west on me, he has been feeding for 15 mins. Waiting on a doe or a stud. Feeling bloody this morning

Pines to left of me... hardwoods to the right... here I am stuck up a tree lol

Day 1 in the South Zone! Already saw a 2 yr old 8 pt., hopefully there's more to come...freaking pumped season is finally here!!!

I'm settled in with Yankees pitcher Chase Whitley. Hoping he gets his first bow kill today!

Good morning from Jackson county. I'm set up on the edge of a food plot that the deer have been wearing out. Several white oaks on the edge of this plot raining down acorns. Good luck to everyone today! Here's my view this morning

My spike just fed away. I lost him over a rise in the clearcut.

Set up on a field that has been pretty well traveled. Has persimmons on the other side as well as oaks.

Sitting on an oak flat with a good bedding area close by. Beautiful morning, just need the deer to be hungry for acorns. Good luck and stay safe.

Would like to report an 8 on the ground... But I missed

Sitting in my hot spot in N Ga. Acorns falling and scrapes all around me. Nothing yet, but I haven't seen anything before 8:00 all year.

Sitting on an oak flat with fresh clear cut to my west, 10 year old pine thicket to my north. Just had a spike ease through

Got 2 spikes at 10 yards

Sitting in some thinned out pines in Dale County this morning...just had a group of ol thunder chickens come through, but that's it so far...sure feels good to be back

Buddy with me just sent the buck down text!

My view opening day in the south zone

Up in some red oaks with short pines and bluff in front of me. New clear cut behind me. Saw 5 does in the clear cut about 300 yards away. Almost in bow range. : )

Just had a good 6pt come by but no shot

Deer must've started moving. Long silence in here. Either that or everybody fell asleep. I'm going to set post around a 17 acre pasture my horse loving sister just bought. Good luck guys.

Just had another spike and a 6 point come in. That makes 4 spikes and a 6 point this morning.

Need to track cgardner down and hunt his stands. I bet a bag of corn would help

Got to slick heads feeding on acorns at 20 yards.

I'm sitting on the edge of a food plot. Nothing so far...

Just had a spike come thru at 15 yards, he got a pass

Opening day in the south zone has not started good for me. Woke up late clothes weren't all the way dry forgot my phone and had to go back home. Then I get to my new spot just to find that someone has plowed and planted and has a block and a trail camera out on land that only I have permission to hunt. This is goons be fun.... On a good note got set up at 0820ish and had three does come through so maybe things will get better

Had butterball cow horn at 15 yards. He's lucky I have plenty of meat in the freezer.

Nothing so far in Lamar county.

Just plenty of acorns and unpressured deer.

Similar here just not a ton of deer

Had a few pass me before daylight. Got busted by a fat ol nanny. Saw bits and pieces of several in the thick stuff I hunt in. Heard a couple bucks lightly sparing. And a spotted fawn come stand under me a while. Gotta head on out.

I have seen 4 more in the past 10 minutes. 3 does and another spike I'm looking at now at 15 yards. Damn, need a shooter!!

Just had 3 more does and a spotted fawn come by just out of range

I have only seen this one spike and a bunch of pigs out of bow range.

I have let 4 does n a 4 point walk...

Shot my first ever buck with a bow. 8 point. Will post pics later.

Congrats jwbfx4!!!!!

Had a spike come thru at about 7:30 at 30 yards nothing since then

Congrats Jwnfx4

Well everybody, I better get down, gotta go get ready for the jack Daniels bbq festival! Saw 6 doe, 3 fawns a decent 3 year old 8, a box 8 and a spike! Deer were moving today. Congrats to everyone who got one and welcome back to the woods for you southern AL hunters!

No deer this morning but did see 7 turkeys

Two more does gonna set till I'm starving

Let the air out of a big slick head at 1145 at 10 glad I stayed in the tree!!

Ended up seeing 6 does and yearlings this morning. One of the does managed to duck my arrow. Maybe this afternoon I'll get redemption.

Good luck fellas and congrats in the kills!! Be safe!

Where's the kill pics?

Got this doe about 10 AM. 110lbs

Had a awesome morning. Hunted Near a big pond in a planted pine draw that the deer funnel threw. Was gona get down at 9:30. About 9:25 heard something over my right shoulder and a 8 pt was coming my way. He walked right under me at about 5 yards. Once he got past me drew on him and let him have it at 18 yard's quartering away. Herd him run about 125 yards and crash. [img:center]http:// [/img]

Very nice guys!

Congrats Matt!! Great buck!

Matt

Congrats Guys

Just got settled on a white oak flat about 50 yards off a food plot should be good.

Congrats to everyone that closed the deal this morning! I didn't see anything this morning so I moved up the mountain a ways to a white oak flat. It's showering down acorns, definitely a bumper crop here in Jackson county!

Took a 7pt at 9AM

My 13 year old son and I got skunked this morning. He told me I could have any deer we saw today cause he was on coyote patrol.LOL!!! Heard three different ones howling/barking right after day light but never saw them. Saw one grey house cat that I have know idea where it came from. Had some dogs running what I only figure was deer behind our set. We decided to call it a morning after that cause he had to go to his moms. Maybe next time. Congrats to all who scored today and good luck on ya'lls future hunts this season.

Man I wish I could have been out this morning but I am here now. Hunting with a buddy that jumped one walking in. It is his first now hunt ever. We have a west hunting a strip ranging between 50-100 yards wide of wood between a swamp and bean field. He is about 300 yards to my south. Not sure what his set up it. I am sitting on a dried creek bed with a thicket all around me. Not many acorn on the ground but maybe they will come slipping through. Never hunted this spot before so I got my fingers crossed I picked the right spot

congrats to all that killed. Great deer Matt

Congrats on the kills guys!

Congrats to all of those that scored this morning.

Photobucket/my computer has not wanted to cooperate today. This is the only two pictures that would load





Edit: yes I did realize the date it off by a year on the camera.

Live from the recliner this evening. I'm tired! Good luck to all who go out

Well settled in on a greenfield man it is hot

Back to where I killed the does few days ago. Water oaks dropping next to a fresh clear cut.

Chose the wrong tree this morning. Had three does come out right where I expected them to at 830, which was awesome since the last time I hunted this spot and the state was 6 years ago. however instead of heading east across the clearing they came out and headed north within 5 yards of the other tree I have picked out. Climbed down at 1030 to go move the stand 90-100 yards and jumped them in the oak flat on the backside of my stand for tomorrow morning. Now just hoping for a favorable wind.

Got three does at 40 gonna let em walk

Ended up having to work this morning, but I'm here now.

Congrats to all that got kills hopefully I will be able to post my buddy's first bow kill today and as an added bonus if I get one

Moved a stand to where I saw a big 8 point last week. There are acorns, deer poop, and scrapes all around me!! I am literally sitting over a nice scrape!!

Finally settled in for my first hunt of the year. In a ladder overlooking a small plot with a strip of hardwoods behind me and thick pines in front. Just hoping to see something!

I gar holed myself I believe but my wife should get a shot if she don't spook them.

Congrats on the kills!

I slept in this morning, but I'm back after them this afternoon...I'm on the edge of a thick swamp, where drier hardwoods meets the swamp. There's lots of water oaks in here and I think it's gonna be good! Nobody has been in these woods since turkey season (that I know of) and I'm hoping to see an old, ugly 6 pt I have on camera. I believe he's staying back in this swamp.

Congrats on the bucks, guys! Those are some good un's!!!

Good luck, everyone!

Well the old lady was drawing on one and must have hit the release. She said the arrow flew toward them. Me and her are snake bit.

Got a doe and twin spotted fawns feeding here now.

Bowfool's son gave a nannerhead a dirt nap.

Just had a lone doe walk by out of range. Didn't even check up to look for acorns.

My Dad and I got skunked this afternoon

Nothing seen for me today, try them again tomorrow

Got me a doe..first one with my new Mathews!!! Rage don't play around, it looked like I shot her with a 300 mag.

Had a doe and two fawns eating acorns at 30 yards this afternoon. All of the bucks I had on camera have decided to eat elsewhere. Trying something different in the morning.

My buddy saw his first deer on his first bow hunt tonight but it was out of range. I had 3 come in at dark. I had my video rolling and though it was going to work out. They stopped at 20 yards and couldn't shoot though the cover I had. They have me a BJ.
