This morning was our firearm opener. We’ve stayed off this property all now season due to pine thinning and not wanting to pressure the property. I snuck in Thursday and hung a stand in a smaller little tract of pines that held bunches of deer but was previously unhuntable due to how thick it was. 29 min after sunrise I caught 4 bucks slipping out of the hardwoods. This guy was in the lead. I passed on him 3 times last year due to his age. He didn’t get a pass this morning lol. Ended up weighing 201 lbs which is heavy for Alabama. It’s also the first buck I’ve shot in 2 years (me and my buddy try to only shoot 4.5yo deer or older). Pretty exciting morning! He’s a mainframe 8 with 3 kickers.
