I will be live from Black Warrior today. The rut is wide open in the area I’m hunting. I’m set up where 4 different fingers of hardwood ridges come together 80 yards from a huge thicket. 3 of the fingers has hardwood thickets from half way down to the tips. So there is plenty of bedding options to choose from. Multiple trails zig zagging ever which way around me and it’s wide open shooting. There is several red oaks around me the deer have been feeding on and at least 12 rubs within 40 yards with a couple of scrapes. Yeah sounds like I hit jack pot, but I put out a ton of scent yesterday scouting in here and have no idea where these deer may come from. I need to get a kill this coming week before the December lull kicks in. Good luck y’all.

Good luck BowHunter - I am at small field on my bow only lease

Hunting a small field this morning.

Set up in one of my dads old honey holes on wheeler. Long ways back but worth the trip. Done gave one a free pass this morning.

On Hollins this morning with a buddy. Hunting up tight to some thick pines that border wide open hardwoods. Had three does come in downwind of me and busted me before I could get a shot. Buddy is 300yds from me and has two bucks bedded down 60 yds from him.

Big Nanny took a dirt nap. Went about 20 and crashed.

Congrats Znrichie

I was about to leave at 9:02 and 2 does - spike and 4 point jumped out

At 8am had a big doe come in and eat red oaks for 30 minutes. She was an old sway back doe and sharp as a tack. I was planning on shooting her before she leaves. Well she picked me off standing still as I could be at 15 yards with no intention of shooting her yet. But after a few leaps and bounds out to 32 yards that I shot for 35 plus she squatted the arrow zipped right over her back. Now I’m pissed and I’m not waiting on no dang buck this afternoon. This mornings trip cost me a Grim Reaper. Going to try to dig it out of the stick at camp.

Congrats little Richie! Good job!

Ended up seeing 14 between the two of us. No shot opportunities though.

Thanks fellas, I’d post a pic of her but I don’t know how to post pics on here

I saw a buck I would have shot and he came 20 yards and busted me

Helluva shot on that stick JD. 😆 Been there done that a few times myself. Those old alphas can make you look stupid sometimes. Congrats Richie on your nannerhead.

Wish I could be out there this morning good luck to everybody

Know what u mean JD - BowHunter - Those alpha females can piss me off quick

I got a few that need to die on bow lease - did not see right does this morning. My gun lease has about eight amount of does

Seen a total of 19 deer this morning, 3 bucks and the rest does. Only decent buck was about 60 yards walking away. When the does came by abunch of them bedded down. The one I shot had a staring contest with me for what felt like an eternity. She finally got up walked behind a tree I drew and now she’s in a cooler. Good luck everyone out today!

You can parboil it but it may still be tough.
Them ole big headed does is as hard to kill as a buck

This afternoon I’m breaking my own rule. Hunting the same spot 3 climbs in a row. I never ever climb in a spot more than twice in a two week period. Well today is the day. To much buck sign in here not to see one. Good luck this afternoon everyone.

Had to skip out and Miss - my boy wanted to play golf more than hunt - so I played golf (I am more of a hunter though)

No good. I’m done with this spot for a couple of weeks.
