Makes for easy tracking if needed.... dang 44mag allows them to run way farther then the expandable broadheads.... 20-25yrds verses 100yrd or so

Way off the thread, but the deer went into the December Doldrums real early this year. They must be in mourning for Bama losing to the Auburns. That devastated me so badly that the attendants doubled my meds and I've been having a wonderful time and seeing fantastic sights ever since. You know this is true because I'm sitting here at the computer instead of freezing my parts in a ladder stand. (That's what we outdoor enthusiasts call "enjoying the full experience".)

December Doldrums, eh? What an interesting concept and an excellent turn of phrase to go with it, Mr. George.

An Auburn deer got the “full outdoor experience” yesterday morning, including the coda. But what I found both uplifting and upsetting all at the same time was all the toilet paper still festooning the antlers.

The rut in LA(Lower Alabama) doesn't heat up until about the 3rd week of January and into the first couple of weeks of February. There are a few spots scattered about where the deer transplanted from up north years ago rut in mid to late November but that is hit and miss. December down there is the equivalent of the "October lull" in the Midwest. It's a great time to get a tick dug in on your family jewels and to fight swarms of mosquitos the size of Bobwhite quail.

Future jerky....& grill meat

Went by J&M last week and heard John killed a big one at his hunting Club but haven't seen any pictures yet. I believe Cathy said it was a 12 point.

John raises some big ones, very impressive in his office at J&M ..... myself ,just out for the meat.... cheaper for making jerky, plus very tender

He's knocking hard on 170'', but I think it will be closer to 166 once dried out.

The farmer, those who work for him and those who hunt his land had never seen this buck during day light hours until recently.That's when they jumped him on a drive from a small 30 acre wood lot-thicket during Ohio's recent deer gun season. He slipped away unscathed and has not been seen in daylight hours since. Big bucks don't get big by being careless.
