I haven't heard a shot all year on Jacobs Mountain. I don't know how much the deer population up there has declined since it went public but it has to be pretty good. I've hunted private ground around that place for years and even on private ground I'm not seeing any deer.I've ran cameras since August and don't have 1/2 the deer in normally do on camera.

Seen 3 mature doe yesterday. No bucks with them. I know a small 8 point and a bigger racked deer were killed. The bigger one wasn't all that impressive either. Heard plenty of shots. Oh and the campground by the firing range is closing after this year.

I hunted Jacobs mnt. all day today and didn't hear the first shot nor saw the first deer. The deer population on that mountain has nose dived and the ones that are still alive sit as deep as they can in that cutover and don't move until night.

Seeing some but nothing compared to what it was evem last year. I haven't found any big buck sign, can't find any does either and I've hunted all my best spots on private land and public around Jacobs.

Hunted the north end Skyline yesterday morning. I didn't see any deer but heard 3 shots around 8:00. Talked with a couple other hunters on our way out around 11:30 and one had seen 2 does.

this morning on the poplar springs tract about 730 had a doe pop out in long road next to thicket then 10 steps behind her nice rack buck bird dogging her. By the time i had made for certain he had at least 4 pts on one side he never offered a good should trotted straight away following doe. Jacobs mt. this afternoon in Hardwood drain no deer did leave at 415 started to rain pretty hard really should have stuck it out last hour stupid mistake saw a really big buck hanging up at the little cabins like shop buildings as you go in good deer huge body. going back in the morning i guess for last time till Turkey. Demopolis or David k. Nelson PW next. I am 3 for 11 seeing deer on public land in bama so far this year hard to deal with after my 27 for 32 sits seeing deer on my Tennessee farm. Oh well really wanna kill deer on public land. I know i am as good of a hunter as some of these lucky guys. of course I could have ground checked that buck this am too?? glad i did it right way though. good luck in the Morning on Skyline.
