Sorry fellas. Ms Muzzie got on here while I was installing this stupid clock for her. Last time she got loose on here, it ended up as 5000 post topic. Of course, most of those post was Ms. Muzzie talking to herself for over a week while I was hunting hogs with some other aldeer members.

We are the blue dot, clearly on Plum Creek property. I wasn't aware that you couldn't offer commercial hunting on leased property, but it would not surprise me if that was in the lease somewhere.

Well fellas, I just got back from Hawkins Ridge in Eufaula tonight. Was able to get a good one right before dark in a Rye field. Climbed out of the stand to take a leak and here he came. He must have been 300 yard but I found a broken chair about 20 feet in the pines to prop up on and let her fly.
Here is the link if someone can post the pic for me. I'm too excited from the hunt to figure it out. https://imgur.com/a/JRBUu

A few pics are worth a 1000 words of the what we experienced.






After looking at the OnX hunt app, it was obvious that they owned about 400 acres and leased the balance of the hunting land from Plu Creek or other lessors. The most disappointing thing was that I always felt there was a good deer population in this area near Clayton. I actually saw two deer tracks, so I least I know they have a deer. Quite frankly, if I owned the place, I would be ashamed and embarrassed to allow hunters to pay me for an opportunity to hunt there. When looking at the guest book, there was not one single entry of a hunter being there. They were all family reunions or birthday parties. The owner even admitted that when the economy tanked, he was forced to look at alternative methods of producing income, such as the petting zoo and the Pumpkin Patch. I don't fault him for doing what he has to do support his family who are all very pleasant and helpful but I do have a problem with him, in my opinion, intentionally deceiving hunters.

Honestly even if I won a trip to an outfitter in Alabama I wouldn't waste my time going to hunt unless it had a five start lodge with great food and I was just going to relax and eat good.

You know how when Christmas comes, most men don't read the directions when they are putting the kids toys together? Well what would you like to bet that Muzzie nor My daughter read about Hawkins place??? I will bet you if I looked around in his truck there would be a unopened yellow envelope that said " Congratulations, you have just won a trip" for you and your child to come ride a real live hump backed camel, feed the goats, and see a albino skunk that don't stink! Guess why he does not notice me writing on here??? I asked him to please put up my new clock that reflects the time on the ceiling. He didn't have the box opened 2 minutes b4 he said where did you buy this piece of junk from? I bought it from Dillards! That's a reputable place right? There's no doubt he didn't read the directions Again! I am betting on Hawkins being a nice family little farm & not a hunting place. Oops he's up & about, better get out of here! Merry Christmas!

Try this guys. Act like the deer were hunting you. Seriously. Act like if you make a mistake your life yould end. Apply that to your hunt and see how you inneract with the woods. Probably do things differently wouldnt you? If you do this, you will likely kill big deer, and see more deer. We do this and we just know what works for us.

Once again, a couple of the most sensible, rational posts in a thread have come from Whild Bill.
