Good deal. I’ve seen multiple bucks here on public land In Illinois this week. 3 have been shooters that wouldn’t come into range. I passed one this morning I would have probably shot on public land in Alabama. We are just seeing so many big ones on the roads at night it’s hard to fill a tag on an average deer when you see what could possibly walk by. We are hunting until Saturday morning and a cold front is rolling in tonight so we’ll see what happens! When I get back to Alabama I probably will give deer hunting a break until after Christmas and I plan to use more vacation time in January to hunt public land in Alabama.

I did not fill my buck tag in Illinois. I will be hunting public land in Alabama and have a few invites to hunt Private land. I will be hunting hard in January and should get a buck and probably another doe.

Otherwise, will be hunting a little each month in the rut from north bama in December to my place in south bama during January rut. Wish we got bonus points with hogs cause I could rack em up 😂

Good buck man. I won’t be back in the woods until next Sunday. I’m going to do a gun hunt at one of the WMAs I hunt and plan to shoot the first legal buck I see.

Broke away to work at the camp…finished a shooting house. Saw some turkeys and heard hogs all Saturday afternoon in the stand but no deer. It’s not good there until January which is when we hit it hard

I’m gonna leave the WMAS close to my house alone for a little while. I’m thinking about taking a trip to Oakmulgee for the gun hunt in mid December

I actually shot a doe 2 nights ago but forgot all about getting a picture. Hopefully we won't need it but I plan on killing one more doe this season and then hopefully a buck or 2 or 3 in January.

Same here boys…I’ve been duck hunting a few times and having fun with it but will be hitting it hard a couple of weekends in January. Just dropped down to camp to put stands up, cameras up, and duck hunt but don’t have time to deer hunt as wife put an ultimatum on me to be back by 2:30 for our sons first Christmas 😂
