Hunting Wheeler this morning. Red oaks still falling and good buck sign in here. Might get interesting here shortly. I couldn't be any happier than were I have climbed.

Good looking spot. North or south side of the river?

Setting on a hardwood ridge. Not sure if I will see any deer, but there is at least 50 squirrels in here.

South side. All the looters are on the North side.

Good luck guy's

Those are some good looking spots. Im in a similar area on Cahaba hunting a rub line just above me on a ridge. Acorns and deer sign everywhere but I've never actually seen a deer here. This is my 4th time in this spot so I'm losing my patience and hoping to see something. I have 2 cameras on the ridge that have been there a little over a week so I'm anxious to check them out as we speak.

I guess every spot I hunt is night walkers only.

One thing I learned long ago, pretty don't kill deer, nasty over grown hard to hunt does. Beautiful spots for sure.

I have to agree based on my experiences. Every time I give these "pretty" spots a try I never see deer including today so far. All of the nice bucks I've seen are in the places that are a pain to get to or through. I keep getting drawn to this spot because of the rubs, accorns, and the super sized milk duds. He's here somewhere...

Jbsbama, got a pic of your spot with the rubs on the trees?

I've realized that but its sure hard to not set in a big stand of hardwoods They sometimes produce deer but the good looking spots are not normally where your mature bucks stay.

Got my bow in hand this afternoon. Im watching a food plot in the middle of 25 year old pines.

Moved 50 miles to change my luck. Hunting a small green field in Winston County . Couldn't climb very high and it is very quiet , this is going to be a heck of a challenge.

So I got home and checked my cameras and that rub line I was hunting may have been made a by a monster spike. lol He's all over my cameras, 226 videos to be exact and he's in almost all of them. I did have 1 of 226 videos with a pair of small 8's traveling together but the rest were the same does and a bachelor group of spikes.

I'll be moving back to my normal spot tomorrow morning for sure. Oh, and I got video of somebody running dogs on Cahaba WMA around 7 PM, that will piss you off! Small doe was running then comes 2 hounds with collars right after her. ugh

Super Spike strikes again.

Nice! Mine isn't much bigger than that but he can own a sapling. I got to watch 3 spikes fight and establish a pecking order which was entertaining to say the least. I was shaking in my boots.

I watched a 2" spike and a 1" one point get into a brawl directly under me one evening. Sounded like 2 booners going at it. Afterwards the spike bristled up and started strutting around. I pulled out a grunt call and gave him one deep grunt. He ran back through his arsehole trying to get out of there.

There isn't any deer on the refuge, besides those areas are way to open. Might see a slick head or spike but no big boys coming through there.

YOU STILL OVER ON THE WMA??? THE DOGS YOU SPEAK OF ARE COON HUNTERS, THEY RUN THAT SECTION OF THE WMA RELIGIOUSLY
