“I can’t put my arms down”. Ahahaha Yes exactly!! I’m looking a few spots I will still hunt which helps keep ya warm but this year there are a few spots I’m considering more of a stand location type deal. Check out the map in huntstand and you’ll see what I marked up.

The cold at night doesn’t bother me too much I can stay warm in the tent but having to layer up like that kid in A Christmas Story sucks when hunting. This is one ADvantage of being Hot Natured. I can't get COOL in Summer. I have warm clothes w/o the bulk for hunting. I used to have problems with my fingers. Bulky gloves get in the way. I learned to use cotton Jersey gloves --> rotate hands in pocket. REMEDY. Try it.

Wish I could join you fellas, always wanted to hunt N AL & MS area, but was fortunate enough to draw 2 WMA permits here in FL, along with 2 hunts planned for PA. Maybe next year. Look forward to following this thread. Something that just resonates when learning new public ground and eventually finding success. Good luck!

I’m feeling much better about our odds this year. We’ve learned stuff the last two hunts and doing more scouting this year pre hunt. Going to try and make a trip up there next month, maybe do a little squirrel hunting and walk a few areas I’ve picked.

My recovery will be in full swing next week starting with the speech therapist. The PT/OT is in the works right now.
I was looking forward to meeting you and others in Alabama deer hunting and just general all round BS'ing.

Not from Chicago, Central Illinois. Looking forward to joining this group for fellowship and hunting. Not ever hunting out of state this sounds exciting as much for the campfire stories as time spent in the out of doors. Trophies are not what I seek as much as memories. Thanks for being invited

Excited to have several out of state hunters joining us this year. The terrain is about as rough as it gets in Alabama and the odds aren’t great but I can guarantee a good time. Taking votes for our campfire meal Saturday night, I like to cook at least one meal for everyone that night. Maybe Brunswick Stew?
