You have no idea how ready I am for deer season and cool weather. You see, I have been working in Thailand for 2.5 years. In Thailand there are only two seasons Extremely Hot, and Extremely Hot with tons of Rain. So I am ready for a chilly AL morning or two!
I have not had a chance to shoot or hunt since taking my Thailand assignment, so I am long overdue. I will be hunting on a small little lease in Ethelsville, AL. My buddies saved me a spot, there are 5 of us on 600 acres. Not much land but getting better each year. When we got the lease 4 years ago it was rare to see a deer, and you never saw any bucks. After 4 years of shooting only 8 point or better and some management does each year, it is greatly improved. Last year it was common for the guys to see 8-10 does and yearlings on a grass patch, and 8 nice bucks (8 point or better) seen. We do have alot of pressure on one side of the land, and I am sure they are taking a few of our nice bucks each year.
Anyway, I simply cannot wait to bow hunt in a few months time! I will leave Thailand for home on October 13th.
Later,
