Perfect morning #9520784 01/17/15 Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 13,759 J JCMCUBIC OP Campfire Outfitter OP JCMCUBIC Campfire Outfitter J Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 13,759 Yesterday was an almost perfect morning. AL rut kicking in, up the mountain well before daylight, light dusting of snow, leaves so loud he could be heard long before I could see him. Only downside was how long the trek/climb in was vs how short the hunt turned out to be. Sun rising over the edge of the bluff that he's about to be dragging me down a few minutes later!

I was probably only going to stop by for a visit in TN this year, but TX is an all or nothing so I gotta go nothing this year. I am sorry I'm going to miss it and all the good folks. Thanks guys.

I should mention, it's not the end of the season. Still two more bucks and a doe a day until the end of January. Clint, come on up. I'll send you a pm. Bob, Yeah, the NE corner is full of mountains. End of the appalachian mountains. Acutally they run down to Birmingham but get lower the further south in the state they go. They aren't super high, but are plenty rough.

In full length sized brass with the same seating depth it shoots under an inch in 4 different .308's. I've yet to stop one of the 150 BT's in a deer. That one went through both shoulders at around 60 yards, deer went straight down.
