Two Young Bucks

Nice 8 Point 2013 season

Somewhere on Autauga Creek Hunting Club.

Austin Roberts harvested a hog over the Thanksgiving holidays in Coon Bottom Fl. just outside of Westville. He was hunting with  his Dad and Uncle Walter . That smile says it all, "thanks Dad for taking me". Great Memories !!!!!  

Paige McCord is all smiles after harvesting her first buck . I am sure she will harvest many more over the next few years, after all she is a McCord. Good Job Paige !!!!!!

My Daughter Michelle finally shoots a wall hanger and when she does she shoots a big one. We are having it mounted and she wants to know if it will replace one of my bucks on the wall . Don't Think So !!!!!

Charlie began the season off this past weekend with a spike he took during the Alabama Youth Hunt. Good job Charlie.. We always encourage our youth to harvest a deer of their choosing.

First Rub of The 2013-2014 Season

Donna's 10/13 Doe

She will be 52 years old Nov 28th and I bet she will be still putting deer on the ground when she is 62. Sure am proud of my wife she has killed a lot of deer since we got married 33 years ago and enjoys it as much today, as she did way back when. She harvested this deer this past weekend while hunting in Kentucky. Now she is waiting on a buck !!!! 

10 /14 buck

Not yet a shooter. Will be in just a few more years.

Two Fawns

Please make sure before you shoot ya doe she doesn't have any fawns with her. As you can see as of Oct 2 these two still had spots. They may be able to eat , but they still need their mother to protect them.

Strange Picture

I am not sure what this is but I think it is a hog???

His Return

As a young boy I would anticipate Thanksgiving morning with great excitement.  Our family would travel to Westville, a small rural town in North West Florida, off of old Hwy 90.  It was somewhat of a tradition in my young years to spend Thanksgiving morning hunting with my Dad and his brother, my Uncle Von.  My cousin and I would follow them through the swamps and slews off the Choctawhatchee River.  This particular Thanksgiving morning was no different than any other.  That was till my Dad sat my cousin and me down under a large tree and said, “I need you to sit right here and don’t get up till I return to get you.  If you start moving around I will never find you in this swamp.”  I’ll never forget those words.  My cousin and I were left there under that big tree with a single shot 22 and as we waited we could hear our Dads’ shot guns blasting in the distance.  They were harvesting “acorn ducks” or you would know them as “wood ducks”.  They returned to get us just as they said they would and I must say I was glad to see them reappear through those woods.

Our Heavenly Father has done the same thing.  He ascended into Heaven after His resurrection, but He left instruction on what we needed to be doing till His return.  It is up to us, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, to be busy fulfilling the great commission till His return.  I am afraid most of us are sitting under a big tree just waiting.

 

Scripture of the Month:

Matthew 28:19 – Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

 

Thought of the Day:

Think about spending time with someone hunting this year with the intent to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with them.

 

Hunting Tip of the Month:

This tip is only for those men who are brave enough to ask...

You may need to ask your wife to remove all her smell good soaps and shampoos from the shower.  Let me know how that goes for you...

Yours In Christ

Bow Hunting Tips of The Week

Helpful Tips Of The Week

1) Cut your pull rope at the height you desire to hunt. Use it as a way to measure your height up a tree during practice and actual hunting situation.

2) Practice shooting from the same stand you will be hunting out of.

3) Use tennis balls during your practice shoot. While your up the stand have someone toss the tennis ball in front of you. First identify the distance then make the shot.

4) Wear your Safety Harness even while practicing

Have A Great Bow Season !!!!

Corn Reminder

All personal corn spots must be raked up and removed by Oct1st. That gives 15 days before Bow Season opens. We do not want anyone getting in trouble for baiting.

Tall Rack

You will need to look close to see his rack. This is the buck that was standing behind the buck in the picture below. I have several pictures of these bucks , but these are the best one's. Both of these will be good bucks in a few more years.

Two Bucks

There are two deer here and both our bucks . I have had 4 different bucks come by this camera.

6 Point 2013 -2014 Season

Donna and I getting ready for bow season. She was one deer up on me last year , but this year is going to be different. She may shoot well , but I set her stands up.. ha ha  79 day till bow season and counting.

Bow Season 2013-2014

Pre -Season Bow Tips

 

1) Begin a daily exercise regiment.

 

2) Check your bow and make sure it is still in working order.

 

3) Shoot 5 arrows a day to help keep your form correct.

 

4) Place bow stands early, so the deer get used to them being in the area.

 

5) Place cameras in your hunting areas , but don't over check them.

 

6) Check  tree stands for loose bolts, rust or rotten straps.

 

7) Check over your safety harness  and life line.

 

Every year someone falls from a tree stand, so check your equipment before placing it on a tree !! Lets have a safe season !!!!!

Two more young bucks !!! I sure am glad to see them out moving around during the day light ours !!!

He will make a nice 6 point this year and in a few years he will be a shooter !!!!! Autauga Creek has some nice bucks on it and this one is a great example of the type on genes we have in our deer heard.You may ask where is this ,well your guess is as good as mine. Thanks Larry for sharing.

I think Larry's camera caught them off guard.
