Jerilyn's First Buck

Jerilyn was spending quality time with her dad hunting on Dec 27 when she harvested her first buck. A big thanks to her dad for passing on the southern heritage of the sport, we call hunting. Enjoy those back straps !!!!

Mock Scrape

I had aways heard of Mock Scrapes , but had never really try to make one. Yesterday afternoon I took my boot and raked back a spot underneath a limb. Then I sprayed the limb and dirt with some doe pee. I was surprised to find this morning several tracks in it and it had been made larger. Amazing !!! I have been hunting for 40 years and have harvested my share of whitetails , but never thought this would work. I guess you can teach and old dog a new trick.

The Single Brow Buck

Some where on Autauga Creek Hunting Club.

Broken Rack Buck

It seems like the bucks are moving a little more this week. Thanks Scott for sharing this picture with us. I hope you have a stand all ready set up on him.

How God See Us

Q.D.M.A is the new "catch phrase" you will hear around most hunting clubs today. For you who may not know what that stands for it is Quality Deer Management Association. Through this organization we are taught to look at what the deer can become if we were to let it grow or should I say "let it walk". God looks at us the same way . He sees us not for what we are now, but what we can become through Him. As I look at this buck I see a young 1.5 old who if given a few years could become a nice 6 point or even an 8 point. God saw me as a young man covered in sin who needed a savior. I excepted His Grace many years ago and now strive to serve Him faithfully. I thank God for not looking at me for what I was but for seeing me for who I could be through His grace.

Have You Grown In Christ Any In The Year 2010?

7 Point

Here is a nice 7 point that is walking our property some where. I think I have a climber on a rub line he is using. I just need the time and right wind to hunt him.I hope someone see him during the daily light hours.

Katies 7 point

Katie was a happy young lady after killing this 7 point while hunting with her uncle Mike. Memories to last a life time.

Mike's 9 point

I shot this 9 point Tuesday morning Nov 16 while hunting on the old family farm in Kentucky. As you can till it was raining ,but the rut was on, so I was hanging with it. I must thank the Lord for this one. It was our last day and down to the last 2 hours before we had to leave. Again Thank You Lord for this harvest !!!!

Doe Management

A little doe management can be rewarding and good for the deer heard. Shot this doe at 29 yards . She was feeding under a big white oak tree.

First Kill With A Bow

Donna with her first bow kill. We were on a Kentucky bow hunt where Donna shot over the back of a doe and then later that afternoon harvested this 120 doe. Her P.S.E - X- Force and daily practice help her get the job done .She also saw a nice 8 point chasing a doe , but she was not able to take a shot. Good Job !!!!!! Now she is ready for bow season here in Alabama.
