Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk ALTurkey Talk -- Beards and Spurs Almost, But Not Meant To Be

The bird I have been on all year finally became vulnerable Friday.It seems all season the son of a gun has had a horseshoe stuck up his butt and it's beginning to look like he will get another season under his breast(belt).On prior encounters he has been henned up, oh yeah he is the boss, except for the one time he followed a hen just about to shooting range only to be ganged up on by seven jakes, runned oft.Anyway, Friday he was by himself and I had him coming to me 150, 125, 100, 75, I'm thinking it's gonna happen but, NOOOOOOOOH.Ten deer had came from the down wind side and had smelled the pint of bug spray I had showered in that morning,and ran right through him.He ran off putting plumb out of hearing distance.This was about 6:40 and I sat there until 4:00 waiting on his return but it didn't happen.The only bright spot is I've got four more hunts to rectify the relationship and hope he will accept my invite for a free ride back to the house for some good eatin.

good luck

Good luck. Heard they had a "sho nuff shoot em up" there on the hunting club weekend before last. Five hunters and 3 birds down. Ok, I don't know if that qualifies as a "shoot em up" but a good weekend regardless.

I think it's gonna take devine intravention.Old mountain birds are tuff.

I saw two of the birds and both were nice.I didn't see GL's son-in-laws bird though.The funny part was one of the guys aked me if I hunt on Maxwell or with Vest and I told him I've hunted on Max for 30 yrs., been hunting here since I was six.I need to get down to, "Little Vietnam",the campers and meet these folks before I get citizen arrested on my own land.
