First gun hunt of the year for me. Excited to be out here.

I’ve got a decent 8 showing up on camera most evenings about 30 minutes after dark. Got a good idea of his access route, so I decided to slip down here about 300yds closer to where he is coming from. Kind of a desperation play, but the rut is about to kick in and I’ve got neighbors that are like the plague on deer. Fingers crossed.

I know what you mean I have that problem plus poachers.. good luck on the 8pt.

I'm here had 2 eagles fly over making sounds...pretty cool

Heard one walking the bottom but I couldn't get the wind just right for where it came in at. Got busted and never got to see it.

It has gotten foggy, visibility down to zip, can't see 100 yds on this powerline

Bucks have disappeared. Saw 16 doe tho so it was a great afternoon.

Watched 1 spike for about 40 minutes. I'll take it over seeing nothin!

Sat over a spot this afternoon after the rain passed through the Winston Co., saw a buck cruising, but couldn't get on him. Big body, but really couldn't tell much on the antlers, think it might have been a 6pt or forked horn.

A quail cut is a very sparse thinning that allows for natural vegetation to grow under the canopy. This improves habitat for “quail”. Like a couple of other guys have said there are very few trees per acre and mostly sage grass with rolling hills. A lot of prescribed burning is needed when your timber is like this or else you will have sweet gums and other unwanted vegetation take over.
