Made a quick mid day card pull and rather poor. All my bucks have not shown in weeks. There is boatloads of crops a mile down the road that I am sure they are focused on. First couple weeks don't look good on the home spots.

Put the Sawyers on the hunting clothes over the weekend and started getting my pack ready. Just need to sharpen the broadheads and get used to getting up before 8am again!!

Agree with the ones that say 4.5 this year

Most likely in a very non disruptive set for the am. Quick and close in and out. PM somewhere on state.

I would be willing to remove that buck for you so your puppy dogs have more space.......

Absolutely. I have never found one that I could not make sharper than it came outa the box. I shoot mechanicals now but have shot 5-6 different brands over the years and will always sharpen. If it can't shave hair off my arm it needs sharpened.

Georgia is a points by zone draw. They area(4)we went the last 2 times takes like 4 years worth of points. We hunted a public land swamp. Due to the changes in vegetation the past 5 years the spot has regressed and not worth another trip. So next trip we are going to go to Lake Seminole with a boat. There are some monsters in there. That zone takes like 7 years of points. My son has 4 or 5 saved up so maybe in two years we go again. In Georgia you can't shoot a gator until you have it hooked and to the boat or the shore. We passed up a bunch of 4-6 footers looking for something bigger than the 9-4 we got last time. We should have had the 8 footer but a bent hook and bad twist and gone... Great time though!

Cleared out trails the weekend before last and checked some stands to make sure all good to go. Lost the lower "Hole" this summer and had to pull all my stands out of there. I do still have a small spot in the upper "hole" and put up a stand there this past weekend. Been shooting a bunch with the bow. Down to the 2 week countdown now.......

Antlerless opener coming up - you hunting it ?
Fletch replied to Northcountryman's topic in Deer Hunting
The stupid thing about this is I hunt 8J occasionally. But I will not burn my DMP selection as my home spots are 7A and 7F. And 8J hands out extra DMPs later. I'd try for a doe but can't get the tag until the extras are given. Seems like they don't want too many extra deer taken with this roadblock in the way. -
Biggest/favorite bucks from past 5 yrs...

Two that I still pull up pics. One was 10 years ago and had him only once in season during daylight on cam and was moving my Mom... 11 point beast. Never saw again after that season. The other was 5-6 years ago out behind the house. A super wide tank had all summer and saw the year before. Season opened never saw again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I think that if your situation is dire enough you cant feed your family poaching a deer is probably not the best solution. Or one that will last. In this world of free government handouts I almost find it impossible. You could do better dumpster diving behind a fancy restaurant lol. I think there are a lot of better, easier and legal ways. And as others said you could get more roadkill deer legally than you could probably shoot! Fishing and foraging would be more balanced. I don't think too many deer have been poached that actually saved a person from starving in the past 75 years. Now end of the world scenario all bets are off and I have just taken over a Walmart warehouse and fortified my position!

I am so happy I work so hard to pay for shit other people buy and can't afford........you cant afford it don't buy it! This country is turning to shit faster than believable. Buying sheep votes with our money. I really ask myself why I continue to work and support this bull......
