Hey, guys!! I’m so glad it’s finally hunting season!!!

I’m hoping to get in a hunt or two this week if I can sneak away from work long enough. If not, I’ll definitely be in a tree this weekend.

Good luck to y’all

We finished planting all our plots today. Just got one heck of a rain on them. Hoping to be back in a couple weeks to do some bowhunting. I think our primitive season is open at home. Will try my luck if it cools off again. Glad to be back with y'all. Good luck!!!

I wish yall luck. If y'all need anything PM me.

Looking forward to it fellas!

Good luck this season guys!

good luck fellas, I may go this weekend and try and get us on the board

Good luck fellas! Time for a 3-peat!

I haven't even shot my bow this year, I don't have a single stand ready, and I have three cameras out that aren't even on....but my food plots are all planted..finally. I will get in together at some point I promise. has anybody been????

I haven't even been hunting yet. My kids have some type of activity every dang day it seems. I'll get out there eventually, just not as motivated this year.

I’ve been hunting a lot, but I’ve mainly been after a big buck on some land that doesn’t have a high deer density (not gonna shoot a doe there). I’ve only seen the big buck once, but he was out of range. I’ve let lots of does walk there and my trigger finger has been getting itchy...I was able to sneak away and hunt yesterday afternoon and this morning at our farm and I had a young doe come in on a string this morning. Quartering away at 14 yards; she went 30 yards after the shot

Congrats on the doe. Weather is finally getting right down here and have a couple decent bucks on camera. But my daughter done took over the stand and said she's gonna kill them. Lol. Told her she has to leave one for her brother and she said he better not snooze because he will lose.

Norton, brother I'm waiting for that pic of that big buck. Don't make me wait to long. I got faith it's fixin to happen for you.

Congrats AU! I’ve seen a bunch of deer just not what I’ve been looking for. My trigger finger is starting to itch as well. I may have to sling one at a doe here soon...

Congrats AU, got a question, do you ever have a problem with that peep turning on you when you draw back? I have the same peep and that issue with mine from time to time. Planning on having Shaw build me a string next year.

I battled that issue for a while, but a true professional (like Sonny) can fix that easily for you!! For a long time, my string loop would move/swivel and it would allow the peep to get twisted/turned like you’re talking about...Since Sonny replaced my string, I haven’t had a single issue with it. My bow shot like a new one again after Sonny hooked me up

congrats AU, saw a few deer this weekend, could have killed a doe but they came out right after 6 before the bama game and I wasn't messing with one by that point. may just have to wait until rifle season to kill a deer

It’s been a grind so far for me guys. Things seems to be getting better. I passed a pretty good 3.5 yr old 8 yesterday. I hope things are about to change for me!

Back in the saddle this morning. Saw a pretty good one right off the bat. Couldn’t make up my mind so I let him pass. About 20 mins later I passed another buck. Things are looking better, I just need the right one to step out.

Drew, are you hunting in the Midwest?

I got the doe part out of the way this morning.

I was in IL last week but I was just filming a hunt. I’m back hunting Alabama now.

Congrats on the doe. I have an older 7pt I've been after and was gonna hunt this morning. Walked out and everything was white with frost. Decided to wait and hunt this afternoon and go dump the rice I cut yesterday. Well guess who showed up for only the 2nd time in the daylight.

Dang that’s tough luck! I have the biggest buck I’ve ever had on cam this year. Tons of pics but I’m losing the chess match so far.

Marshmud, do you know what caused that wound on his front leg? Looks rough

No more points, but I was able to get an arrow in another Nanny yesterday afternoon...I thought I hit her well, but I watched her stand in the field for 15 minutes after the shot. We went in 4 hours after the shot with a dog and jumped her. We backed out and brought the dog back today and the dog went right to her...I’ll never understand how these critters are so tough!!



I let a good buck walk at dark today. I had the safety off and was on him for a while, but I couldn’t be sure he was up to par for my standards. My game camera took 3 pictures of him, so maybe I made the right decision. I plan to check the camera tomorrow morning.

Update: I checked the camera this morning and I guess I’m glad I didn’t shoot the buck yesterday. He appears to be an average 3 year old for our area...I would’ve been happy to kill him, but I’d much rather kill him next year

Cool pics, congrats on the does guys! I can't believe you needed a dog for that shot placement....looks dang good to me.

I don't. I talk to the guys that hunt around me and no one has shot a deer and not found it. Maybe it hit a fence or something. The wound wasn't there on the last camera check.

just havent had the time to get in the woods fellas, I plan on hunting a few times this week so maybe I can get on the board

Same here man.

I shot a decent 8 yesterday evening. I’ll get him posted up here shortly.

Congrats on the buck. Our season here at home is closed till Saturday. Gonna get after them again then. Going back up to the camp next Wednesday for a week. Hoping to try out the new Grendel build on a deer.

same here, I had him in daylight all through muzzleloader season and now hes gone nocturnal. congrats on the buck BWHR84. I hunted yesterday morning until 8:15 before I had to go to work, didn't see anything but fox squirrels. going back in this afternoon, hopefully they will move before this rain comes tomorrow

bowhunter what kinda cannon is that you're shooting??

I killed that one with my 26 nosler. I either use it, my 6.5 Creedmoor or my little 308.

Congrats on the buck!! I love that mass he’s got

Thanks. He was a pretty good one. His antlers have beautiful coloring to them. The wife was kinda upset because she wanted to get him mounted to put in our house (when we get one) LOL

I passed a couple of bucks yesterday afternoon, one is a buck we call the broke tine 10, prob 110 inch buck and another decent little 7 point. felt good to see a good buck. ive got 3 or 4 shooters on cam at this one property where I was. it wont be long before I get us some points

I'm sitting on a woods road in a pinch point between some thick pines. Been watching this trail and everytime I come to this area there is fresh tracks crossing the rd. Always some large tracks. Finally got the right wind and my ambush point is about 100yds from the trail. I'm thinking its that old buck we had pics of last month. We shall see what happens. Tomorrow will be a wash out and Sunday will have the wrong wind. Hope it happens today

Good luck to y’all...The rut should be rocking for the next 3 weeks at my properties. I’ll be in the woods as much as possible and I hope to kill at least one good one

I wish the rut was here already. Gotta wait a month for my place in Selmalia, and almost 2 months for my place in Baldwin County to heat up. Good luck y'all. Hope y'all kill a turdy pointer.

My wife’s uncle killed one of my target bucks yesterday morning. He was a 4 year old 8 point who’s rack didn’t match his body. I’d gotten lots of pictures of the buck on my land (adjoining property). My little boy was ecstatic to get to see the “dee-uh” (as he calls them)...Hopefully, I can get a buck on the ground soon since these older deer are beginning to get on their feet.

Y'all are gonna be proud of me. I finally decided to shoot a doe. The Grendel ate her up. Got her posted up.

Congrats marsh!

Congrats!!

I killed a decent 8 point this morning. He was actually a deer that I let walk on opening day of gun season. I’m a little bit disappointed in myself because I’ve been trying to hold out for a 4+ year old buck, but I’m still happy with him and thankful to get some more meat!!

Congrats man!!! Nothing wrong with that deer. Don't beat yourself up to bad. But it woulda been a dam fine deer if it woulda lived a couple more years.
Just kidding.

Yes, he would’ve been a stud!!

Congrats AU!

congrats AU, I've been out of state for almost 15 days. will be back in the woods this week and relentlessly hunting until season is out

had a good weekend, saw a stud yesterday morning but couldn't get a shot through the thicket. young bucks are starting to push our does around. in about 10 days the rut should be kicking in on my two places

I had a couple of pictures of my 8 point this year, but I always wondered which deer he was last year...After studying tons of pictures, I’ve finally figured out who he was. It turns out that he was a 4 year old this season after all...I let this deer walk as a 3 year old in December 2017 and I have his left shed (with the broken G3)...The year is incorrect on all pictures below.

Prior to breaking the G3


After breaking the G3

Always trust your instincts. You made the right call and killed a fine deer.
Now hopefully I can find a good one in the next couple of weeks. Vacation starts next Wednesday and I'm off till feb 6.

I passed up a really nice 8 point for my butler county place saturday morning and for some reason I just cant bring myself to shoot a doe. taht makes to 100 inch bucks I've passed up this year, thinking both are 3/4 year old deer. been getting pictures all morning from my cell cam in montgomery county of bucks chasing does all over the place. I'll be there this afternoon trying to knock one down

My vacation starts at 0000hrs Wednesday and will be on the way to the camp at 0300hrs. Don't have to be back till feb 6. My favorite time of the year.

not many points but its points, this is a deer we called handle bars, we were guessing he was 6 to 7 years old. feels good to knock one out

[/img]

Congrats! That's a nice 6!

Great kill. Congrats!!!

upgrade in points fellas! posted it in the serious forum

Heck yeah!! Congrats!!!

That's a dang fine buck. Congrats. I killed a 7pt last week. I'm not proud of what I did at all. Very young deer and my excitement got me. Our rut is starting to rock. I'm hoping to find a better deer. I'm here till feb 3 if need be. If I don't kill one better I will post it up.

good deal marshMud, i dont know if i will kill a doe this year. I only have one place where we can kill does and I don't usually see many there so i dont feel like shooting one especially this time of year

I killed another one Thursday but it was an 8 point as well so no point upgrade.

where are the pics????????

I can’t get the photo link to work

I passed up the biggest buck I've ever had the opportunity to kill, atleast 135ish 10 that me and my buddy agreed to pass. This deer could make the record books next year if he makes it and be something special......... am I an idiot? I feel like one but proud at the same time

I’ve done that a lot in other states a lot but not Alabama lol

Got a good one yesterday afternoon. He just walked out into a food plot. The AR 7.62x39 tore his arse up. Waiting on the Aldeer team boss to give me a score on him.

Congrats!!! Great buck

Congrats marsh!

What an 8 point!!! Congrats!!!

WOW!!! That's some kind of great 8pt, congrats Bownunter!!!

holy shat BH, thats a freakin stud! HElllllll yea marsh, goood deer. Wheres ol foldem up at? if hes killed something this year we're going to be right up there again

Thanks guys. My buddy put a tape on him at 143 1/8”. I don’t think he’s quite that big but a good one none the less. I’m hoping to get his skull bleached in the next few days. I’ll post up a pic when I get it finished.

And for some reason I can’t get the pic to show up in the thread anymore. How are y’all doing it?

https://postimages.org/

thats how I post mine, I tried fixing yours but I couldn't. You should mount that joker, I think your looney if you don't

Hopefully Foldemup and norton are sandbagging 2 giants and gonna bust some bubbles at the last minute.

Thanks for posting it for me. I can’t get a pic to upload on that site. I keep getting an error message. I’m going to skull mount him. I told myself I wasn’t going to mount another one unless it was just a monster or something really Unique

^ That one definitely qualifies as “MONSTER”!!! 140” 8 points aren’t real common.

I understand your thinking, though...I plan on mounting any buck that’s over 125”. I don’t have enough of those on my wall yet

I got us an upgrade this morning.

Can someone post pics in the score thread where they will show up?

Posting for Bowhunter84

Congrats again on an incredible buck!!

Man that’s a fine looking buck!! Congrats

Great buck Darryl. I’ve had a rough season. Haven’t seen a mature buck all year, but I finally went ahead and got a few points with a doe. Sorry I’ve sucked so bad this year, but don’t give up on me yet. Everyone look at the points thread. Make sure y’all have your deer entered. They don’t show Audeerhunter buck points and Darryl have you killed a doe? I can’t believe Norton hasn’t killed anything. He’s usually murdering the deer

Yeah yall double check me. When it is all said and done I'm going through everything and make sure it is right. Hopefully nothing slipped through the cracks though.

Congrats on another great buck, Darryl!!!

I haven’t killed a doe all year but I will slip out and shoot one in the next day or two. Am I the only one that hasn’t killed one?

man bowhunter you have killed some dang studs this year!! congrats thats a helluva deer. I haven't killed a doe yet this year but I'm going to this weekend given the chance

Thanks guys. The Lord has blessed me with a good season.

Got a doe posted. It was last minute but it is done. Got a good friend of mine in need some meat and got us the points

i couldn't even see a doe this weekend, sry guys

Norton sent me a pic of a doe he killed. I’ll get it posted in a little bit. Neither one of us got a buck this year.

Way to lose it for your team fellas
