Not too much hope in this weather

Apparently I just need to be pessimistic. Seen five deer before 7:00 and two of them were bucks (I think. I know one was. the other crossed at first daylight a ways away)

Not too much hope in this weather. But my in laws stayed up at the camp last night and wanted to hunt this morning so we’ll see what the day brings us

Same. But I have friends with a camp in Tylertown and they got this on camera two years ago. This doesn’t really appear to be the same deer, but he said all of their big deer have split right main beams at the end, just like the one here and the one that got killed.

ETA: bad service in the woods and can’t tell if pic posted or not. Will check later

The expensive repair might be what he accidentally shot.

I'm a bit curious to know what might have been shot

What time do you guys get into your spot for an evening hunt? We’ve always targeted being locked and loaded by 3:00, wondering if that’s too late?

That’s what a lot of our guys shoot for. I try to get there a little earlier, especially during the rut. We had two does eating corn at 2 where I’m at

Best of luck to you

Same everything from this morning for me. Pretty sure the buck I didn’t shoot was the big 8 we’ve been seeing. Sucks I didn’t get much of an ID on him. Maybe he’ll come back out

Worked a decent buck a little but never got him to step out into much of an opening. Saw him in the trees and grunted him around the field to a tree where he started hooking

Never got into enough of an opening to ID him enough. Sucks because we’ve had pictures of a big buck around this stand lately and not sure if it was him or not. Shoulda ground checked it lol

I had some energizers in a camera that worked for months. They finally started running low and I was in dollar general one day and saw some more. They were so cheap I just bought them. They proceeded to last 2 weeks :lol:

I’ll be buying energizer again next time

Hunt already got interrupted by some distant family members that I’d never met but wanted to “see how the property looked” and “didn’t think people would be hunting during the day” :dope:

Not familiar with it. In the same boat as the OP. Care to explain?

I think it’s a much slower, more drawn out rut than places like the Midwest

That's how it is in east feliciana. We see bucks running does a little and doing normal rut things. But it's never really a super intense rut

Wasting a few hours at the office this morning until I make the evening hunt. Good luck to those of y'all out there

Curious how that will affect bank branches that close on Federal Holidays. I'm pretty sure there is some kind of law that banks can't be legally closed for more than 3 (might be 4, can't remember) consecutive days.

similarly sized 380

I got my wife the S&W bodyguard 2.0 recently and we both really like it. It shoots .380 which is still plenty enough to get the job done. It's very light, does snap too bad and is just overall good. I'll occasionally throw it in my pocket to do something

Convention exits left when going north. I think Florida might too?

There's at least 4 I can think of and I think it's 5 right around there

December 20th - January 3rd is usually the sweet spot for getting a wall hanger. I would imagine a lot of posters have killed a lot of good bucks in that 2 week period.

Our property almost butts up to the LA/MS line in Norwood. Your timeline is spot on, killed a 140" on Dec 20th two years ago. No one on our property had ever even seen the deer. He was just passing through at the wrong time.
