That’s a pretty sweet camp setup.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

We went riding one hour before dark to learn our way around. Alabama is in bad shape guys. Whatever they are doing up here it is working. Deer standing in yards and walking across the road in front of us. We did see one stud chasing on private land. Not much of a GPS signal around here so we will have to use paper maps and compass to search the forest land. Sure would make it easier if we could us google earth imaging. Going to be rough hunting in these hills from a physical stand point, However I got two very strong fellas hunting with me. We will be putting in the work the next couple of days with a ton of scouting. It’s nice to just ride around and see deer.

I think it's primarily because gun season is only two weeks instead of what almost 3 months. If everyone hunted with crossbows and bows there'd be a lot more deer I think.

THIS!!! 100% I would love to see a tally of how many rounds get flung at the total deer population in this state over nearly 3 months. I feel like I was probably safer in southern Afghanistan in 2012 than a deer is here in AL during gun season. Looking forward to updates! Hunt hard and safe gents!

Found a few deer today. The trails are awesome and finding a few scrapes here and there. There are zero acorns in the areas I have scouted. All the deer are eating honeysuckles and fescue. I have seen deer in corn fields and soybean fields, but it’s all private or land locked where I can’t get close to it. This is going to be some rough hunting due to it being all mountains. Day two scouting is going to be rough to get too. I will check back in tomorrow night.

If you haven't been to Kentucky the day before the gun opener? you'd be blown away by what happens when the sun goes down. There are so many out of town hunters that just can't stand it when their headlights hit a 140-150 standing in a bean field in a curve. It sounds like the 4th of July until about 2:AM.

Scouted this morning and hung a couple of stands in some honeysuckles. Decided to hunt this afternoon and I seen one small 6pt. He come straight to the scrape I was hunting. Maybe I can call im a good one tomorrow morning. I believe the rut is just fixing to start the next few days. Scrapes are around in certain locations but not everywhere. Time to get some sleep for my first morning hunt. Can’t wait.
