LFTT 11/2/14

I'm about to start getting ready. I'm going to try my first attempt to take a deer from a ground blind. I'll be sitting on a narrow food plot. Good luck to all that are hunting today and be safe!

Good luck buddy. Going to hunt the swamp this morning.

Sittin in my truck on the wma on the B side. It's to cold to get out!

Me and a buddy is going fishing.. So get after em fellas...

Fixing to head to an acorn flat. After I get done this morning I've got to head over to the ridge where Emmett shot his buck and try to find his bolt. Damn my legs and back are sore from dragging that joker out last night.

Fixing head in and climb in a hardwood creek bottom. Got a good un showing face in daylight. Maybe today is my lucky day. Loving this cold morning.

I'm settled in looking for Mr. Big or slick head #2 and I don't care which comes first. Good luck to all ,and I just got to say I love the way this weather makes me feel!

Settled in my Summit this morning between 2 different log road intersections with a cross road in front of me. First time in this tract of woods this year. It's cold, hopefully they will be moving. Good luck fellers.

Just settled in. Little late but I'm here. Setting in hardwoods bordered by pine thicket. Hope they move for everyone. Good luck and be safe

Settled into some hardwoods - good luck everyone!

First hunt of the year. On the mountain with acorns everywhere. Put dad in my best spot so maybe one will eat a rage soon. Good luck boys it feels awesome to be back.

Sitting on a white oak flat that joins13 year old cutover.

Climbed 400 ft up a creek/Hollar to its source. Cedars on one side, dropping acorns on the other. Good luck everyone and be safe

I'm set up on a good buck that I have pictures of walking this cutover and hardwood line. Good luck to yall today.

Just heard my dog barking, got up & looked out the window to see a doe & a Lil one standing 30 yards from his dog pen. Good luck everybody

My view.

Stayed up too late last night just finally got settled in. What a beautiful cold day!

I feel like I'm getting back to my roots. I'm in jeans and an old hoodie, and a borrowed 20 year old pair of coveralls that are way too short. Borrowed 270 and an orange vest and I'm off. Get dropped off and was told walk that way and find a big rock to set up next to. So I did. Set up over looking a south facing ridge with beautiful untouched mountain hardwoods. White oaks raining. Rut is supposed to be about right here in Paulding county, GA.

Good luck guys! Keep us updated on what some of us are missing while we are having to work.

Had a nice buck at about 35 yds but never offered a shot....

Seen a bunch of doe and fawns a basket 8 and a pretty good looking buck but couldn't tell for sure. Maybe a biggun will give me a shot!

Good luck

Good morning from Madison County. I'm set up on a old logging road that heads to a pine thicket. Good luck to everyone that's in the woods today!

Nothing but tree rats so far.

CANT FEEL MY TOES and yes I know I'm yelling

I'll be out there after church. Good luck

I will be out after church then again in the morning

Finally on the board slick head at choccolocco zone b can't get pic to load

Service is awful in here

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

Congrats!

Good deal!!!

Congrats! I packed up and went to Church, may head back out this afternoon

Congrats!!

Congrats

Drew back on my first deer this morning and had my first miss. Slickhead. Misjudged the distance, went just under her. Dang.

Congrats Headshot1.

We (nephew and I) waited (slept in) and just got in the stands a little after 10. Good intel says deer have been moving after 10 here the last few days. We are set up in the same spot as yesterday evening. Fingers crossed that this young man gets a crack at his first bow kill.

I hear ya buddy.

Congrats to those who connected this morning. I saw 5 to this morning. 3 does 2 fawns. First deer I've seen on a morning hunt this year. Headed back to the same stand I saw a good buck from opening weekend this afternoon.

Good luck everyone

Here is my set up on b side

Here is the lftt selfie also

Killed this doe around 7, saw 12 slick heads this morning and this one was lead doe, all were cruisin an acorn flat right below this food plot

Nice picture I'd love to be laying on the top of that hill with my 7 mag once rifle season comes In. Looks like you could stretch one out

A Big nanner ran off with my luminock at about 9am.. Couldn't find her in the thick brush. These Rage's are awesome when they hit perfect but not getting a pass through is frustrating.

Me dkhargroves and talltines are triple teaming lowndes! Maybe one of us will get lucky

Fun in the sun I'm my favorite tree.

Well I finally made it in a tree to hunt...... Time to kill something

I'm set up in the thinned pines where I got the doe 2 weeks ago. Emmett is about a mile away from me. Maybe he won't run one over me this evening.

Just settled in. Sitting on top of a ridge where 3 hollows head up. 4 logging road intersections within range. 100 yards from cut over. 125 yards to food plot. Acorns every where between. Feeling good about it. Good luck everyone.

I'm set up on my food plot in Lamar county. Hope to see the 8pt that came in yesterday evening. Good luck guys!

Set up on a small food plot adjacent to a planted pine thicket and a hardwood creek bottom. Same stand i saw a good 8 point out of on Oct 17th. Hope he comes back out again this evening.

Good luck everyone and be safe

Sitting about 20' up an oak, looking at 3 white oaks raining acorns 15 yards out front, greenfield 100 yards through thicket to my right, had 3 slip to forty yards as I was pulling my bow up at 2:15. Had a swing and a miss this morning, time for redemption!

Sitting on the edge of a dirt plot( we need rain) with oaks around it with a creek to my left with what seems to be a steady North south east wind ugh.......

I'm here in Pickens co trying to kill a biggun!!

Here in walker county hoping for something to step out close in a large greenfield, same place I shot the doe that got away

Seen a couple in the hardwoods behind a while ago. There was a buck wearing out a tree and he just vanished maybe he will come to the plot before dark.

Hunting a green field this afternoon. Nanny heads beware!

Me and a buddy is on nf this evenin huntin a hard wood bottom. Just had some Coyotes get stired up between us

Nuthin....but a red fox (or three?). Sat from 2-dark and saw nothing but a red fox three different times.

Didn't see anything but heard a ton of coyotes cutting up at dark

Went this morning for the first time and saw 1 big bodied deer out in a clearcut at 6:50. At 7:00 another goober club member decided he was going to hunt about 200 yards away from me and he needed to drive his 4 wheeler right by me and all the way through the area I was hunting so that he didn't need to walk more than 15 feet. At 8:35 he was done so he had to drive back through my area so I scouted the area a little and found a couple of great rifle spots. We had 1200 acres to our selves and he had to jack my hunt up. I'm not a fan of driving 4 wheelers all throughout the property but I understand that some need to for health reasons. If that is the case try to get to your spot early and stay for a few hours.

Stuck a doe high behind the shoulder about 2 o'clock. She ran about 80 yards looked around and started walking. Got down at 4 and started looking for blood. My dad came and helped me look. Never found a drop of blood. Just meat on the arrow no blood. Maybe she will make it. Watched her circle through the woods and walk back behind me.

Nothing for me but coyotes started cutting up a few hundred yards from me as I was climbing down

Got my first bow kill today on RSA. Awesome weekend!

Nothing for me..

Finally got my first ever deer with a bow...she came out at about 8:30 this morning...I drew back and had to hold it for like 3 minutes or more but she was behind a tree...I did this 3 different times..having to hold a bow back in the cold will make a man of you LOL..she finally started walking and I took the broadside shot at about 25 yards...I heard a loud thud and watched her run about 40 yards and fall...went and retrieved my arrow..the slick trick magnum did it's job..I had a complete pass thru and the slug hole entrance...now I am super excited and forever hooked now..I was using my sons diamond bow with maxima blue arrows and strings that Shaw built for him last year..

Congrats!!!!

I ended up seeing 4 slick heads (no shot) and 167,432,890 tree rats.

I had 4 does and a 5 pt on the field at once. I finally got a shot on the biggest doe about dark and made a bad shot. She wound up running up the hill and walked the ridge blowing till her yearling joined her. New one on me no blood and just a little fluid and hair on the arrow with no smell.

Upon further inspection of my broadhead when I got back home there are two clearly defined "knicks" on 2 of 3 blades on my muzzy mx-3 so it appears that I hit a twig or small branch that deflected my arrow low. No mark on the third blade. Upon watching the arrow leave my bow it looked like a good shot. Had my HHA set at 23 and ranged the shot afterwards at 26, I was aiming up just behind her shoulder for the lungs. I am just glad it deflected low to miss her completely and didn't hit in a bad spot. Chalk this up to a learning experience. Glad to get some action.

Had a repeat of this morning, 3 does and 2 fawns about 200 yards across a bean field. Oh well thats why its called hunting. Maybe next time.

Finally decided not to let one walk. I almost didn't shoot but I needed some meat.
