deer hunting on Sand Mt.

[Fishing machine]

Left the house at 4:30 am this morning and drove to Flat Rock, Alabama ( to my hunting club ) to see if the deer would move before this front came in.
Too late, it beat me to the woods ( Bad Weather and a lot of it ) emoRain emoRain emoDoh The only thing that was moving was me and that pine that I was in. I don't think I could have hit one if he was in the tree with me. I stayed in the tree until 11:30 am and had enough emoGoofy I'm not sure why I went in the first place, should have stayed in bed. It's 3:30pm now, time for a nap emoSleepy

emoBawl Then there are the guys like me who had to work all day today. I traveled between here and Charleston today and saw at least 10 deer, and tons of turkey between noon and 3pm. I was wishing I was in the trees today.
Glad someone got to go today! Things are about to get good I think!

That is for sure.  I have observed that the mid day movement has picked up and more deer are being seen on a regular basis now.  I have found several moc scraps this week and a bunch of fresh rubs on trees in the creek and marsh bottoms.  They are getting ready for the big dance.</p>

Is it that time of the year Alvin, good luck in Illinois, I know you see a lot of good bucks out there. You mentioned wind, the weather this morning said 10 - 15 mph I had gust of 40 mph. But anyway, I hope your trip goes very well. Look forward reading your post. Will this be during the rut up there?
