RANT
There was a boat probably 300 yards from where I was planning on going. So 40 yards down a dude walked to the bank so I went to talk to him see where he was going I said, "How you doing man" and he answered with " I'm not trying to be a dck but you see my boat is parked there why would you pass by." To which I responded "there's so much woods past your boat, you expect no one else to hunt?" He said “your boat is scaring the deer with its smell.” Lol He was on the West Bank of a North to South running wood line with a NW WIND... so blowing away from the bank he was on. Not that I buy that anyway. I said you're walking down the middle of the woods I think that'll screw the deer up plenty. He said, “the weather says it’s a nw wind but it’s really a NE wind” lol. Then he asked me to keep my voice down, I told him this conversation could of went a very different way. I asked him where he was hunting so we could deconflict but he was adamant on being a tool. Turns out he was going where I was the other day, just didn't drive his boat in because he didn't want to go over logs. So decided walking through 300+ yards of woods where deer travel was a good option. He had a friggin havoc allweld boat made for hopping logs specifically lol I finally shook my head and said that I was trying to be friendly but you want to act like you own the woods. I went past him to where I went in the other day but thought wiser of getting out and decided to go to another place entirely... I hate it but ain't worth him tearing up my stuff or hurting me. Got a wife and kid, no deer is worth that.

Most people I meet are super friendly because it’s public land and we are all hunting the same woods. You ask where they’re headed or tell them where you’re headed and deconflict if needed. Oh well…

To add insult to injury he was a saddlehunting public land Tethrd bro.. with a handlebar mustache

Congrats man!

Got down to south alabama just in time for the freeze/snow, which of course they are blaming me for bringing it from CO. Froze my butt the first couple days with shots only at fawns. I shot an 8 pt yesterday afternoon walking in so no points for him. He was big bodied (for down here) at 158 lbs and I think an older deer but spindly horned. I’m in a tree right now but its been mighty quiet this morning. I’ll slide out of this tree pretty soon and go walk the creek and look for some buck sign and maybe set up a tree by a couple crossings for an all day sit here in the next couple days. Rut is definitely starting to kick in. Should have some points up before long and we’ll see if we can pull out of the cellar at least. Pretty this morning at least. IMG_8332.jpeg

Well let’s see that other buck you killed. Cmon man!
 
I let a nice up and comer 8 pt 2 1/2 YO walk today and then whiffed a 50 yard shot at a hog. The dang hogs have my number. I want to kill them so bad im like a guy looking at a world record pope and young when I see one. I swear Id be less jittery looking at a pope and young buck than a hog.

Wind should be good tomorrow for a spot where I can shoot two different saddles leading into thickets from high in a pine. The bow is staying in camp and the gun is coming out. I'll sit the spot as long as I can stand it and hope one of the big boys cruises by. I have pics of a couple pretty nice deer for this lease, one of them being the biggest deer Ive seen down here and he's not far from this spot so fingers crossed.
 
Alright fellas I’m back after it after two weeks off. 10 days left and only a handful of sits left to get something done. Beautiful foggy morning out here something is bound to creep on through!

I have a non cell camera in here I checked two weeks ago and had several bucks coming through mid day checking a scrape. Hard to tell what they’re doing now with the rut winding down but still a decent travel area. IMG_9954.jpegIMG_9813.pngIMG_9816.png
