I'm here. Looks like a solid team. Our primative season opens tomorrow. Time to get this thing started.

I'm here, looking forward to it!

I'm here. We are already on the board

Heck, I figured you and Norton both already had a doe and 8 pt. by now! Congrats!

Congrats Darryl!!

Way to get the season started!!
Happy Birthday as well!


God Bless,
David B.

Congrats Darryl, good start. Anybody heard from my brother in blue or the other couple of team members. Us Cajuns have an old saying when we shoot something,"we turned em a flip". Team Turned em a flip? What y'all think. Y'all throw some names out. I'm not real good at names as y'all can see. Lol

I'm okay with any team name. My screen name "foldemup" is similar to your Cajun saying....except hanging out the truck the window yelling "fold that bitch up!"

Team Foldemup has a nice ring to it. Fold dat bitch does too. But I'm sure they won't let it slide.

I'm here, don't really care what the team name is. I'm ok with team 18.

I'm here too, fellows. I'm fine with any team name...I'm excited for the 15th to get here! It looks like we've got a good team here!

Congrats on the doe, bowhunter84! You made a great shot on her

I'm here fellas. We prob gonnna win this thing! I have only been to my GA place twice. I'll be on the ball hard starting this Saturday. Looking forward to it.

Well that's everybody....good luck to you all this season. Go ahead and get your doe in early. Drives me crazy every year I'm on a team with people that won't shoot a doe early, then they never do.

As soon as a doe sticks her nose out on me I'm gonna give her hell. Matter of fact the 1st two does I see are going down. Not for point but for sausage. We gotta eat. Lol

yea as soon as the 25th rolls around i'm shankin the first nanner I can

Me too. I'll be shooting the first nanny that I get a good shot at. Hopefully, it'll be this weekend!? I'm not too optimistic about the warm temperatures this weekend, though

I'm in a tree, but all I've seen is skwerels and skeeters

I'm up a tree as well. Haven't seen a deer yet...

I got lucky and had a doe and 2 fawns read the script at daylight. They came out at 40 yards and fed right to me. The doe finally stopped walking and I drilled her at 11 yards. She made a 100 yard "death run" and was done

Nice! Congrats! I didn't see chit all morning. Debating on football vs. hunting this afternoon. Might sneak in for last hour of light.

Just stuck a pretty good one. Bout to go look for him.

Any updates Drew?

My favorite kind of update

Yep, awesome update! Congrats!

Congrats, Norton!!! That's a good un

Congrats again Drew. That's a heck of a way to get the season started.

Congrats Drew!

We're way out front! Keep hammering away guys! It will be next weekend before I can get back to the woods.

My Dad killed a nice 10 point this afternoon. This is our best bow buck ever at our farm. Dad was tickled to death!!!

Congrats to your dad. Y'all keep up the good work guys. Until this heat and these mosquitoes are gone there's not going to be much hunting done here. I just can't hunt with temps in the mid 70s in the mornings and mid 90s in the afternoon. Going to head up to the camp next weekend and try some bow hunting. No one has been on our place yet so the deer should be surprised when we show up and hopefully deflate a couple.

I just smoked a big doe

norton over here being an over achiever, but I'm not complaining. Congrats to y'all who punched some out this weekend, keep it up

Dang Turkey, I think you,Foldemup and I will just pull up a couple lawn chairs and put an cooler full of beer between us and enjoy the show. Those 3 guys are having a big time stacking them up. Congrats to you guys. I promise I will do all I can to contribute to the team. Things just aren't right yet. Almost there but not yet.

Y'all don't worry about me, unless I'm dead I'll kill a doe before the season is over.

I know you'll kill your fair share. I have a sneaky suspicion I may get it done again this week.

They're slipping up pretty regular and I get the first right wind to hunt gen the same day a front is pushing in (Thursday). I just have to make a decision and hope it's right. These two are on one property using the same spot. I also have a four year old ten point that's been pretty regular at the same spot I shot the buck on opening day. He ain't a real high scoring deer, 120ish, but he's a big mature deer and that's all that matters to me! I just don't know which one will be more killable this week. It's a tough choice but I could think of a lot worse problems to have!

[img:center][/img]

Here's the ten point. Me and him have some history. I passed him a few times last year.

Nice deer Norton. Good problem to have. Looks like we may finally get some decent weather this weekend. Our rut should be getting started in a he next week or so. Need some cool weather to get rid of some of these mosquitos. They are horrible right now. Good luck guys. Hope y'all all kill big ones.

I don't even have a mature deer on camera for the first time since I started using camera's and I don't know why. I've had less of a presence there this summer than any other summer since I've had the lease . I'm hoping they start showing up soon to give me some motivation to get in the woods

Well I guess our rut is getting started down here. I checked my camera at the house and I got a decent little 8 pt mounting a doe. Never had a pic like that before. Wish I knew how to post pics. It's pretty cool to see that.

You can send it to me if you want and I'll post it. 256-366-0476

Congrats all around on the deer killing so far!!!

Can we agree on a team name? It looks like we need to be submitting one soon...How about this team name: "Team 18: The NOT Timber2's"

Sounds good to me. Whatever y'all want.

Definitely should pick out something useful from that thread to use in our name....since that thread is gonna be a classic and we are gonna win this year and the next 8 following years, we need a memorable name.

Ok boys it's time to get this party started. Make my 1st hunt of the season this afternoon. This weekend is doe days also so the 1st deer to walk out better watch out. I'm not gonna be responsible for my actions. Need fresh backstrap.

Good luck!!!

I'm heading to the woods here shortly too. I'm hunting our 80 acre tract in Cullman County this afternoon. I've got 6-7 bucks on camera there that I'd shoot with a bow, so I'm hoping to get on one of them today; hopefully, one of these studs:



I'd be very happy with one of these younger bucks too, though:

No deer yet,but I just turned a coyote a flip. If y'all a willing to send me yalls cell no so we can share adventures I'd appreciate it. Mine is 337-526-1987. Thanks.

Great idea...team group text! Text sent

You already have my number.

I was wondering if was still the same number. That answers my question.

My number is 256) 366-0476

this friday will be my first hunt, hopefully it'll turn something up

I know I'm not on this team but I know half of you so I think it yall should be "Timber2's Mom"

Made an afternoon hunt today and saw 4 does and a really nice 2yr old 8pt. He got a pass. He has good potential. Not a bad afternoon considering the temps and the millions of mosquitos.

Saw a couple of does myself today, but none close enough for a bow.

GOOD GRIEF it's HOT!!!! Wen put out a tripod today overlooking a grown up field with lots of sign in it. I was drenched with sweat and need a blood transfusion from all the mosquitos. Sorry guys but the deer can have it till it cools down some. It's just miserable down here. Good luck to y'all who are out chasin em.

Hot as Hades here too. Saw a doe train Saturday morning at about 10 yards, unfortunately it was 9:30 and hot as heck and my bow was already on the ground. I had my backpack on and started climbing down when I heard them coming. Yesterday afternoon I had a deer come in right at dark in the woods and I couldn't verify that it wasn't a spike or doe, so I let it scoot by. Slept in the morning and went and sweat it out this afternoon. Heard one walking through the thicket behind me close to dark, but never could get an eye on it. I'm ready for some cooler weather, cause this Sucks!

hunted twice this weekend and only saw three deer, had a doe with a fawn in range but decided not to since the fawn didnt look all that old. may get a hunt in one afternoon this week to try and get a doe on the board

Finally got on the board this morning with one of the 6 does I saw at 0830.

good job, looks like you 10 ringed her

I drilled her perfect, but you can't see it in that picture. Strong quartering away with Rage entrance in top third underneath my riser of my bow with the exit clipping the front left leg right at the edge of the brisket.

Looks like you folded that bitch up. Congrats man. Y'all putting the pressure on me. If this front cools us down I will give it heck this week end. Going to head up to the camp next Wednesday and how hunt till Sunday and hunt Monday and Tuesday with the ole smoke pole. Hopefully I can get something on the ground for y'all.

That's right! Good Luck!

Thatta boy. Good looking bow too!

Congrats

Thanks, I usually buy a new bow about every two years, but this one has me wanting to hang on to her a little longer. Mine is the Phoenix, what are you shooting?

No extra points, but I killed another doe yesterday. We've got a TON of deer on our place, so I plan to continue shooting the does during bow season...The regs changed this year for our county and we only have about 12 doe days in gun season now. We need to kill about 10 does off our property, so that makes it very tough! And half of those doe days are in the heart of the rut SMH

Congrats Au. Yesterday morning I was working on some levees in one of my rice fields and a nice 8pt came running out of a tree line. Ran out in the middle of a plowed field and was just looking around. I guess he had a doe and he lost her. It would have been very easy to kill him. He had no care other than finding the doe. He ran damn near the whole field and than went back in the trees. I love to watch them when they get stupid like that. My tractor never concerned him one bit. At one time he ran with in 75 yds of my tractor.

Been hitting it hard since Thursday afternoon. Seeing a few deer but movement has been pretty slow. Gonna sit as long as I can today. Deer seem to be moving later in the morning here. If I can keep my mind off of that good gumbo I cooked last night,I'm gonna sit till noon.

I'm shooting the Def Con M7. I love it man. Most confidence I've ever had with a bow

He doesn't have a giant rack by any mean but I got us a 9 point this morning

Congrats Daryll! Is that an Alabama bow kill or somewhere else?

Congrats!!!

It's Alabama. I killed him at my club

Dang you boys are putting it on em. Congrat Darryl. I'm sitting on a road/power line with thick pines on each side and a grown up clear on each side of road for the 1st 109'yds. Got the optima pro this morning.

awesome BH!

so what does that put us at? 4 out of 6 with does and 2 out of 6 with bucks?

That sounds about right. Just having all 6 members actually hunting makes a difference. We could easily win this thing!

I agree. We all really need to kill our does.

I'm working on getting mine now. I'm in a big hardwood bottom between a thick clearcut and one our biggest fields. If nothing dies today I will hunt in the morning than head back to the real world and be back here thanksgiving afternoon with the family. I'm trying my damndest to do my part.

Congrats D! Y'all are laying the wood to them so far.

I hunted on our Cullman County tract this afternoon with my muzzleloader and had a heck of a hunt. I saw 8 deer and a bobcat. One of the deer was pretty nice and I probably should've shot him, but he was a borderline 7 or 8 point. I had him at 75 yards, but I never could tell how old he was. I've got about 4 bucks on camera like him there and I was scared he might be a two year old...I guess I did the right thing, but it's not every day that I get a decent buck in my sights!

Congrats buddy!

they moved good yesterday afternoon. Saw a couple young bucks and some does. all worked pretty much perfectly but I didn't have much time to fool with a doe so I held off until this weekend. that super moon had them on their feet at my place about 45 minutes before dark

They were moving great Sunday afternoon till dark, just all does and yearlings. I don't even have a big buck on camera. This weather sucks!

I got lucky and had a bachelor group of 4 bucks come into a foodplot at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. Two of the bucks were nice 8 points and I was able to bullet-whip the better one. He's the best buck I've killed in 3 years and I'm very happy with him! I had lots of game camera pictures of him all over our farm.

That's awesome! Congrats!

Congrats AU!

good job! I got us a doe this weekend. passed up a nice 3-4 year old 7 point this weekend. he just needed another year

managed to find the point right before I shot the nanny

Well it looks like the coonass is sucking hind tit. Going up to camp Wednesday pm and will hunt till Sunday am. Will hunt in the afternoon with my little girl and the mornings are mine. Hopefully I can contribute some points. Oh and congrats to all y'all deer killing machines.

Congrats on the doe, Turkeymaster!!!

Congrats guys!

We had a terrible trip to camp for thanksgiving. My little girl and I never saw a deer. I saw 1 little yearling and my son saw a doe and couldn't get a shot. I was kinda warm until Sunday morning. Had a heavy frost and I knew the deer wouldn't be moving early but we went out anyway. Made a short hunt and had to start getting ready to come home. We left camp a 1000hrs and as we drive out the yard there is 4 big does standing on our rd. Never fails. Lol. Maybe next week will be better.

I decided to go to one of my bow sets yesterday bc the wind was perfect for it, about 15 minutes before its too dark I have " the big 7" at 50 yards. light faded too fast and I couldnt get a shot on him. the only day I choose to take my bow instead of my rife that happens.

Hey guys, instant ALDEER gold on serious forum about high fence kill. Since we don't have a name, how about Free Range in the Big Pen?

Hell ya!!! I'm at the point with way my season is going that I could hunt the free range big pen and still not see a deer.

I figure you guys won't care, so I sent the name into Brandon. We've got a winning team here!

I like it

haha sounds good to me

Ok guys I'm heading up to the camp tomorrow and gonna hunt till Monday or Tuesday. Our place had had a foot stepped on it in 10 days and I will be the only one there till Friday afternoon. Hopefully this trip will be better than last and I can do my part and get some points for the team. I'm sucking hind tit bad here boys. Just bear with me I will get it done.

Ha Ha....no worries. I've got faith in you!

I shot a buck yesterday known to us as "Trashy" and we were able to recover him this morning...See the full story in the Serious Forum

Well hell ya AU. That a good ole biggun there. Congrats. Just got everything unloaded and fired up the grill and opened a cold beer. Life done got a whole lot better. Gonna fill that belly with a good steak get a good night sleep and get after them tomorrow. Got the whole dam place to myself. LOVE IT!!!!

That sounds hard to beat ^! Good luck!!!

Great job AUdeerhunter! Beautiful deer!

congrats on the upgrade, I haven't had much luck other than seeing does lately. maybe that'll change tomorrow

Another 2 weeks before the big bucks get on their feet at my place. Hopefully something big will show up in daylight.

Nothing this morning. Wind was pretty tough here in Monroe co. My hunt got interrupted when a tan suburbon passed on co. rd and let a shot go about 200 yds from me at 8am. By the time I got there they were gone. Guess they missed. Scared the hell outa me.

I bet that did scare you!? Man, I know that's frustrating!

killed another yote Friday afternoon, saw some deer and a bunch of turkeys. no bucks at all but my food plots are coming along nicely

Seeing a fair number of does and a few dinks, but should start picking up in the next 2 weeks

I'm not seeing didly squat. Gonna go sit on a field that I've only hunted 1 time in the 5 yrs we had this place. It's set back in the corner of a big creek bottom and a transition from big open pines and thick young pines. It's a long ride to get to it but I'm gonna give it a try. I usually hunt this area at the end of January but never the field. Don't like going in there till the time is right but I'm ready to see or kill something worth shooting.

good luck, maybe you'll kill a stud

We aren't either, but it's par for the course on our properties right now. Our rut will be wide open from now til New Years, so they'll begin to stir here soon

Just upgraded for us fellows.

lets see it!!!!

Congrats Drew!
