Good luck guys. I stayed in bed till 830. Gonna get after them after church tomorrow. Keep me updated.

Didn't see anything this morning, not even a squirrel.

Pulled my camera card and this!!! He's still hanging around!! Have pics of him over the past 3 seasons! This pic is about 80 yards from where I was sitting this morning!!

Neck looks big on that guy. Great deer!

Slept in this morning, went to "scout" a little bit around 9:30. Walked right up on some deer feeding at 10:15, but they had done seen me before I saw them. There was several that ran off, best I could tell it was 5 or 6 does (didn't see any obvious bone anyhow). Went to look where they were and there's a cluster of white oaks with a good bit of poop under em, and a few small rubs too. I just backed out...think I'll go back in there about 2 or 3 o'clock today and see what happens. Never knew this place was here, just noticed the oak tops in the middle of some pines while I was riding down the road.

Stayed till about 11 and saw nothing but turkeys. Got hungry and ate lunch. Now sitting in a creek bottom in a funnel with hardwoods. Gonna try to sit still six hours till dark. Feeling confident about this spot.

I was lazy this mornin but I'm here now.. Maybe they will move through soon

That's a hoss Gardner!

Cgardner has got the deer.

Had one blow at me after I climbed down.

Sat in a pop up yesterday. Still can't climb with my ankle. Was first outing. Killed a 170lb spike. The hardest part about the hunt was keeping the pop up popped up with this wind!! Never set in one with 20 mph winds. Lol

Wow what a spike.. Would like to see some pics of that big joker.

X2. That's a bigun!

He was 166 at the processor. I don't think he's very old. He was thick in his body. These bean fed deer. Same field my bil got the 161 lb doe he won the big doe contest in navoo with.

What yall think he score? Lol. Couldn't get a good pic with my sign and the dang wind blowing it off.

You couldn't find a deer on this place 20 years ago. My aunt's ex-husband wiped them out! It took 5 years after their divorce before we saw deer again. The key now is that there's not much pressure and we let the little bucks walk.

Got set up an hour ago for the first time this year and smoked a hog 15 minutes ago. Nice evening to be in the woods

One of my favorite stands to walk to. Gotta go past an old primitive baptist church to get to the stand. The church is actually on our land and it's beautiful. Old civil war cemetery there too! Good luck everybody!
Start:

Midway to pass the church:


Well past the church, down the ridge and in my stand:

Up in a new spot on a different farm. There are does over here that need to be thinned out. If one comes by early, I might have to take her.

Day 1 of the November vacation:

Been in a loc-on on a hardwood ridge between a cutover and a creek bottom since about 2:30. Busted some turkeys on the way in. Saw a Pope & Young groundhog a few minutes ago, but he didn't offer a good shot. Found a fresh rub on the trail headed in. And by fresh, I mean I could literally smell it before I got to it.
