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.

Good deal! We have an unusual amount of bucks show up this year. More bucks than does actually, according to the cameras. No luck for me yet. I passed on a 4pt basket rack and he was all I saw yesterday in DeKalb. What part you in?

Great job. Beautiful buck.

I saw diddly SQUAT but got to help a fellow club member clean a small 8pt.

What part of the state are you hunting?

NW part of the state. Eastern Fayette County. Me and a buddy lease right at 700 acres. Just me him and his son hunts it so pressure is kept at a minimum. (We have other leases too). That part of the state is hilly and we have 350’ of elevation change on 700 acres. Doesn’t sound like much to the western and appalachians but Alabama can be extremely flat in a lot of areas. We have spent 7 years increasing food plot sizes, feeding, building water holes, etc. it was extremely tough hunting at first but it’s proven to get better every year. We only average 1 buck a year off this property but I hope that changes this year.

I'll bet that thang over penetrated!

Congrats on a really nice buck. All I accomplished Saturday was to watch a large covey of quail feed through the hardwoods right past my feet. They disappeared into some thick ground cover and didn't come out. About an hour later when I decided to leave, I got off my stool and walked over to that spot. Even though I was expecting it, the covey flush still took my breath for a second.

Fayette county. About the only wild covey of quail I ever see is on a buddies farm on Cedar Creek south of Selma. And they will scare you every damn time 😂
