A couple of random unasked for facts:

This is supposed to be a depredation hunt. They get doe tags added out if the regular doe season for us to be able to kill.

That said usually on a four day hunt I always attempt to hold out for two bucks.

That said…. Usually day 1 I get itchy and shoot a doe.

I’ve just got this weird disease….I just like shooting stuff.

Some of these “mature does” weigh more than the little scrub bucks.

The happy B-2 strikes again.
Doe was looking at me wrong.

I had a large group of does come in. They are so small down here that I forget how to judge their size. Fortunately for me when all of them got in top pin range, it was no doubt she was the “big one”.
She’s gutted and I cut down the quarters to the bone to let heat escape.
(The biologist need them to come out whole for weight and jawbone)

Now it’s buck time.

My buddy has seen a spike and scared two does off.

I have a funny video I will post later.
I basically snuck over to my deer to take pics and gut it. As I was setting it up for pics, a small spike came in exploring and was maybe 8 yards away from me. Had no idea what was going on……


Life is good in the woods

Congrats! Following this one for sure, I recently moved down to Fort Rucker so I’m definitely interested in this! Leaving the mountain west has been hard on my psyche.

It’s definitely a different beast.
Lots of giant clubs around you and down here.

I just couldn’t pay for that. Too much public and still deer to shoot.

If I were you I’d definitely check this place out sometime.
