You Might Be A Deer Hunter If:

1) you buy all your , soap, shampoo and deodorant from the local sporting goods story.

2) you use more than 50% of your annual vacation leave during rut.

3) you feel more comfortable in a climber ,than in a lazy boy.

4) you check the wind direction more than once a day.

5) you know the deer on your game camera by name.

See Ya"ll After The Morning Hunt

Small 6 point.

These were just a few of the deer coming though the area. I had several spikes , 4 points, and does. Again I plan on hunting this stand tomorrow before our cookout. ha ha

Wading Doe

This is my favorite picture on the camera. Whenever it rains a lot the Autauga Creek stays out of its banks for several days . That is one reason I have not hunted the swamp as much as I usually do this year. I had to wade water yesterday to get to my climber and it reminded me of those days back in Fl. when you would stay wet from your waist down every time you step out of the truck.  Just a great picture.

Swamp Buck

Maybe the same buck just not sure.

Walking Away Buck

By the way I will be hunting this stand in the morning.

Forgottin Camera

I was sitting in my climber in the swamp yesterday and saw a camera strapped to a tree . My first reaction was who has been in here around my treestand. When I got down I found the camera had my name on it and had been in there  since bow season. I had forgot about it being there. I had 662 pictures of deer the next few pictures are just some of them.

12-23-13 Buck

This would be a nice buck to harvest. He is still out there for someone to take. Maybe someone will see him over the next few weeks.

Treasures

Treasures

There is a country song on the radio by Trace Adkins called “ Just Fishin”. The song is about a father taking his daughter fishing. They are both fishing , but for different reasons. The daughter thinks it is all about catching fish “ Just Fishin”, but to the father it is about creating life long memories. Now, I know this is a hunting blog, but the same can be said about hunting, hiking, camping or whatever it is you do with your kids or even your grand kids. We find in Matthew 6:19-20 Where Jesus tells us “ not to story up our treasures here on this earth , where rust can destroy and thief’s can steal , but story up treasures in heaven” Does this mean that we are not to plan for our future here on earth, a course not. It means we need to keep our priority in order and as Christian look at life through eternal eyes. As a father of three girls I have great memories of us hunting, fishing, camping ,boating and look forward to do the same with my Grand kids when that time comes. God gave us our families and He created the Outdoors, so go make some good memories that will last for “eternity”.

Scripture Of The Month: “ Do not lay for yourself treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal: but lay up for yourself treasures in heaven”
Matthew 6: 19-20

Thought Of The Month: When was the last time you spent time in God’s great outdoors creating memories.

Hunting Tip Of The Month: Begin a daily exercise routine, so to be in shape for hunting season.
