I like the RB room going into 26. Kamara, Miller, Neal, & Estime. You have a veteran and some hungry, young guys. Allows you to bypass that position come draft time.

Ran up to Summit, MS after lunch. Of course target buck shows up at 7am yesterday where I hunted the day before.

I didn’t see shite this afternoon but I’m currently in a ground blind waiting for some pigs to show up.

Had a few pictures of a doe and then a buck a minute later. But then also some bucks still together. Tarsals are not dark on pictures.

But target buck daylights today at 7am. Hunted that spot yesterday morning……

I primarily rifle hunt with my 6.5 Creedmoor bc I have a suppressor on it. It’s awesome.

Currently using my dads’s .270 and I have some Walker electronic muffs to throw on if I have time.

When my son shot his deer we each had the Walker muffs on so we could talk.

Summit, MS
Warm, slight breeze
Lock between two hardwood bottoms
Lift X
Easton Axis with QAD

Saw a young buck and doe this morning. Had a doe from behind me across the creek blow at me. Wind was going straight that way.
Found a place further north to get back across the creek and climb. Super thick and full of bedding. May go climb it during lunch and see what I can actually see.

especially during the rut


3pm is what I typically shoot for. The rut is the only exception. This week should be our rut so my plan is to rifle hunt until 12. Get down for an hour to eat and move spots to bow hunt the afternoons.

Drinking coffee and watching The Hunting Public on YT. Christmas party tonight for work.

Anyone shoot Remington 7400? I used my dad’s .270 for a few years but hate the trigger pull. Just changed the trigger spring and it’s supposed to cut the poundage in half. Plan to go shoot it today to test out the difference.

We had a guy shoot a 135lb doe on our place.

He said he had a buck after a doe on camera. It’s definitely close in Amite county. Heading back up Monday morning.

Summit, MS
63 with a slight breeze
6.5 Creedmoor

Tripod on our isolated piece. Creek behind is flowing. Could take a nap! Full of some big does. Hopefully one drags a buck along.

Ended up seeing a doe, spike and 4pt. 4pt was a nice looking young deer. No brow tines.

Summit lock on in some pines.

Just hunting for horns. Really came to hang some sticks for next week. But if I catch a good one slipping, I’ll be picking up my shite!

We’re between Liberty and McComb and have just seen typical runs/scrapes. Usually between Dec 20-Jan 1 is the rut. I'm heading up tomorrow to hunt and make sure everything is tied up for next week when I’m off.

Everyone knows that was Matt Mascona who stated this.

Hester and Flynn said that this was not true at all.

I thought the DL played really well compared to the last 2-3 years prior.

But you would think that they would do better on their second opportunities but they still yielded the same results.

I think Stefanski is a good coach.


Agreed. He's the one guy who could get fired and probably get a lot of interest from other teams firing coaches.

Gannon is another one. Is he a bad coach? Or did he just get into a situation with a bad QB room?

Just crazy how some guys are just better coordinators than head coaches. Dennis Allen and Josh McDaniels are the current poster children. Their respective units are doing great this year.
I agree Chad. It completely eliminates any thought of wasting a draft pick on a QB.

He's had a few penalties lately as well.


The RPO that he got called for being downfield was a great play call too!
