No, I know its for cutting, I just hope its not planned to be cut during season. In 2014 I set up camp, hunted the morning and they started cutting that afternoon. Turned out I was camped right where they planned their staging area. I had to relocate twice that year.

You got to liking that spot. Happens every time. As soon as you get to liking some woods, here they come and cut it all to hail.

Yeah but it’ll be great hunting in 3-5 years though if they didn’t completely clear cut it!!
 
That stinks. We are going to start logging our land in AL any day now. It’s the only time the loggers could get in. The land is about 1/3 18-20” pine, with the rest 50-100 yr old hard woods. We are clearing all the pines, and all non mast producing hard woods. It’s going to suck for this yr, but it’s going to promote so much habitat that it’s worth the wait. At this point we just don’t have the bedding, and turkey next habitat we need.

Made it up the tree this morning before my better judgment took hold and I bailed due to bad t-storms passing through. My daughter's detached garage actually took a direct hit this morning. Messed it up pretty bad. Actually blew out cinder blocks supporting the walls and shredded the siding on all four corners. The blast was strong enough it bounced a big stone, about 18" in diameter, from the back side of the garage into the front yard. Pretty unbelievable the power of lightning.
 
I got out yesterday morning on an oak flat bottom bordering a marsh. Acorns were raining down but nothing came in. Scouted for a couple hours on the long way back to the truck and didn’t find anything to get me excited. Planning to pull a camera this afternoon and do some scouting on another property that I saw a good buck on last day of gun season last year.
 
I had my first sit this morning, same as above raining white oak acorns. Had 3 does come through & I missed the biggest one at 17yds. My first live target with my new recurve. I’m spoiled you can twist up like a pretzel with a compound & still make the shot if you’re lined up. Not saw with traditional…….. I’ll try & get out this weekend & get something for the freezer.

Yup high & slightly left( way high) she was at my 2oclock & I had to rotate my left hip hard to get my bow arm over the bridge & top limb tip to clear a tree next to me. I got to full draw & anchored but in hindsight I should’ve let down I was torqued up real bad. Stack that with my bad ML shot on a 6x6 & it’s been a few rough weeks. I’ll get right, I just need to be pickier about shot selection with trad.
 
Setup this morning in a tree I've nevenclimbed before in an "old reliable" spot. Ended up having a forkhorn walk directly under me and an hour later a doe and a fawn scared by something really noisy ran up to me then walked away, back to where they came from. Never did figure out what the commotion was.

Tonight I'm set up.in a similar situatioon the other direction out of camp. Real good deer sign feeding on wild cherries. I bumped a couple walking in that I think were a doe and fawn.

Good luck. Really hoping to hear a great story!
 
We’ve been wearing out the Redfish and Flounder here in Orange Beach. It’s the best I’ve seen it in a while as far as #’s go. The size isn’t great, but they sure eat good.

I got winded this morning. I was set up at an X shaped trail intersection with my wind just off one of the legs. Apparently it wasnt just off enough. :)

Happens! The other morning I waited about 15mins for the wind to start pulling down before made the last 150yds to my tree. Deer “shouldn’t “ have been where she was…….. but dang if she didn’t bail & blow in the dark for 5mins that felt like an hour.
 
I set up this morning on public, made myself go slow and quiet. Turned a corner and shined a set of eyes 40 yards from tree. Heard a couple more run off setting up! Then nothing seen in the light of day. Back at it though.
