Opening Day..
« on: November 20, 2007, 01:50:29 PM »
As this is Hunting in Alabama, how about posting a picture or two of the deer you've gotten so far?



I had to shoot her left-handed.
Monday I wasn't alert, and missed a chance at a big 'yote.

Haven't made it out yet. Hope to perhaps Friday-Saturday when CWMA has an either sex hunt.

Glad someone is having some luck cause I sure am not. ;D ;D I have been hunting hard and have only seen one doe and that was on Christmas evening. I could not even get a shot at her she just would not turn the way I need her to so I let her walk instead of taking a risky shot. I am hopeful they will start moving soon.

Dat's a nice Bama buck. I made it out those two days and heard one blow at me from up on the hill but saw NONE. Haven't been back since. Maybe next month.

I shot a pretty large buck yesterday whose anthers had been broken off , presumably from fighting. I had gotten out of my tower blind, taken a leak, unhooked the rifle from the rope and reloaded it. I was heading back to the truck, when I looked up and there it stood, broadside maybe 30 yards away in the powerline.. I had the sun in my eyes, but that deer was a "gimme."

I shot some does, but no bucks that were worthy of a camera shot.  They all tasted good though.....
