Cool, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks Ronnie.

Enjoyed that.

That gun stand is level...9/10s is a half bubble off. .sorry bud..had to go there..Thanks for taking us along..

Enjoying this thread! I am in Sumter County. Your patch is looking good. We just finished planting yesterday. Good luck this season and thanks for taking us along.

Whereabouts in Alabama are you?

Nice thread! Thanks for sharing

Thanks ronnie. Following this will give me something to follow as i dont know when ill be able to hunt or if.

There's nothing like spending a full day in the woods, regardless of the outcome. Thanks.

I've shot a few unicorns over the years myself and they tasted just as good as any other deer.

ron i got one of the millenium blind chairs this fall and really like it for ground hunting! good hunting in alabama!

I'm glad you were able to get out. Hope you had a good hunt.

That's awesome Ronnie!! Congrats again buddy!! The spike is even on the same side, lol. Nice shootin'.

Way to get it done Ronnie, Congratulations

Congrats 9/10s..twisted limb strikes again lol...good shooting

He's nice and fat. Gonna be good eating.

Congratulations!!! A 1-point! Those are actually pretty hard to come by! :)

Way to go Ronnie. Looks like all those first shots paid off. Perfect placement. Jim

Great job, congratulations!

Congratulations my friend!! Man you will make some good deer jerky now.

Is that the PSR that you bought when we went to the Compton Rendezvous?

Congrats Ronnie!

Congratulations! That spike will be tender. You are off to a good start this season.

Congrats and thank you for taking us along!!!!!!

Congratulations - Sweet meat in the freezer!

Thank you for the virtual tour! Stuck at home today doing housework... Yep, my lip is stuck way out. :-(

Have a great afternoon!

The grandkids and I just took a break from shooting and thought we'd check in. They're impressed that you're out hunting and posting pics, real time. Beautiful woods. We're pulling for you buddy, good luck and have fun.

Beautiful piece of Earth you have there 9/10ths - Good luck this weekend brother!

You have a nice place to hunt there Ronnie. I hunted a nice piece of family property until last week. Turns out my cousin who owned it sold it last year... Would have been nice to know it was being sold lol.

Enjoying your hunt-along! I like me some Dailey & Vincent also!

You WILL find her Ronnie. Would say good luck but, luck has nothing to do with it.

Positive vibes inbound! <-----(((

Dingy light sounds like past shooting hours here. Not legal hours, shooting hours. Good luck.

Oh yea!

Good job buddy..this is the only hunting I got to do today..

This is a very cool thread! Congrats. Ps those stools work great don't they. If you remember we built almost the same thing at the same time.

Let's see a pic of your stools. One legged.

Congratulations!!! Again!! :-)

Was that Roll Chicken Fried? Awesome thread 9/10ths! You're the richest broke dude I know. Thank you for capturing the moment(s) for all of us.

Have a blessed day!

Kindly

I was 15 minutes late for work this morning because of this thread, stayed up while you we're on the blood trail. Thanks for taking us along.

Also wanted to make sure you didn't "lose your way" lol

Looks like those rocks would ding up the finish on those limbs pretty easily, eh?

Kinda purty to get all scratched and dinged!

Ronnie, I have no doubt you're hunting in a beautiful place. Great photos and I like to thank you as well for sharing.

"Ok I just stuck one. Dingy light and I believe a big doe. Believe it was a good hit but like I say it was dingy light." Ronnie, seems like dingy light, although legal, might be iffy, by your standards and mine. Glad it worked out for you. I know every spot is different. Where I have been hunting I have to quit 20 minutes before legal time is up because I can barely see parts, let alone the whole, of a deer or where the hit may be. Congrats on finding that doe, especially after tracking through the water.

I like your honesty 9/10. Sometimes another perspective helps sharpen our focus, eh?

I have a flashlight ,but I might get there late.. 10 hours of blowing,raking,dragging and burning leaves..About 3/4 done..Wonder why I had to drop down in poundage..Tg his wouldn't be so bzd if it wasnt round 1..tre ed s held on la tr e this year..good luck ronnie..

Our internet went down last night and we just got it back. Missed a bunch, but I'm caught back up now. Congrats on your doe buddy!! I'm too far off to join the fun, but I'll send some of my PMA your way too.

Beautiful shot on a beautiful buck!! Congrats!!

Another great shot...congrats bud.

Crowfoot

Very nice congrats!

Nice! Congrats

Congratulations!!! AGAIN!!!!

Interesting thread. Your seat looks a lot more comfortable than mine, lol! You just have to have a padded seat to sit still for hours.

Joe

Great job on filling the freezer. Let me know what time the jerky will be ready!!! LOL!!!

I am proud for you. Grayson better tighten up, old dad is way ahead of him

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread so far! Your season is really going good, but my vacation time is finally here. I am gonna be having my own adventures till the 9th of November. Thanks for posting your hunts. It has really helped pass the time till I get out there myself.

Good luck, buddy! I'm looking forward to the next chapter. I still haven't decided for sure where, but I'm hunting tomorrow.

That fire looks good..I picked a bad time to get sick and they are calling for rain all weekend.....It will all be good...good luck to everyone and be safe.

Congrats to everyone that has got a deer so far.

I am planning on going sunday for the first time this season.

I spy a fake looking coyote and a possible car up above...I am no doubt missing the obvious.

My eyes ain't what they used to be, but it looks like an eagle to me.

Yeti ?

Like I said, lol.

I did think that to start bUT thought NO

I see the turkey now... didn't see it until you called it out... a little blurry for me.

9/10 One thing I know for sure is when a hawk or even a shadow of one on the ground moves through the woods in Northwest Alabama all the squirrels go silent and freeze. After seeing them swoop down and fly away with a squirrel in tow I think the small game are really aware of any movement from above.

9/10, ur alot more dedicated than me. I wasnt about to hunt in 79 degrees today.

9/10 you are a great hunter, and the thread tells a good story of a traditional sort of guy that enjoys his hunting and the woods like no other! And as far as dingy light, we all know that little scenario, kinda like twilight, ya think? And yes, I have shot a few during dingy light times, clouds, fog, rain, etc. Killed the biggest buck of my life in a pouring rain! The variables of hunting have no peer, at least w/ a stick and string they don't! Keep up the good fun Ronnie, I'm enjoying your homespun, imaginative, and detailed story telling to no end! Thanks, and congrats on the "full freezer"!

Chupacabra nest lol

I've always heard it called a Witch's Broom...

Just looked it up on google and Wikipedia....

"A witch's broom or witches' broom is a deformity in a woody plant, typically a tree, where the natural structure of the plant is changed. A dense mass of shoots grows from a single point, with the resulting structure resembling a broom or a bird's nest."

:)

Ronnie, pink flu flus would fix that problem.

What as COOL thread! Thanks for sharing, jRonnie! Best of luck ......blessings! Tom

Sounds like a good plan to me. Give 'em heck, buddy!

Great spot, good luck and keep us updated. Wish it was a little cooler for you.

Thanks for sharing.Have fun!

Nice country.

those are a nice little knife I have one mounted on a quiver

That's cool, 9/10. You never know what you're going to see when you walk off into the woods. It's never boring, that's for sure. It isn't for me, at least. Thanks for sharing another hunt.

I almost forgot. If you run across a Schrade Sharpfinger, let me know, will ya? I set it on a truck bumper with 'Bama tags, to open a soda last week and haven't seen it since, lol.

9/10 I've seen bobcats go after them and miss as the squirrel scurries away. With hawks you hear the commotion and see it flying away with a body in it's grip. I can't help but watch to see if he will manage to wiggle out of it's grasp.

9/10, between the acorns and ol flop ear hanging around, there should be a buck around sooner or later, but I'm sure that's what you're thinking too. Thanks for the update and good luck.

Good luck bud..been sick all week here...maybe tonite

I would love it.

Well I guess the good football games are done for the daym..lol. that's right 9/10s...born a cheezehead...Go Badgers

Good for him to let that nanny walk. I think you hit the best weather early in the season. I took a vacation and hunted hard from the 29th of October till November 8th. It was mostly thermacell weather and I got more southwest wind than anything else - which is not what I am set up for most of the time. It was good to be hunting, but it is tough in the heat. This week should be a little better.

It was still as an empty church down here this morning.

I know I would rather hunt on the New Moon. Full moon is time to bream fish - and maybe hunt a little in the middle of the day. Anything that moves the oceans is bound to affect game. I believe in keeping track of the moon phase too. Thirty years of police work taught me that the full moon makes people crazy as hell.

What a adventure Ronnie. Thanks for taking us along.

Ronnie, thanks again for taking us hunting. It sure helps pass the time for a fellow who can't get out there today. One of those crossings looks like they ran the rotor tiller up and down the bank! Good luck. That little creek looks like a sweet spot to hunt.

I think tbe local highschool beat Mercer last week.

Love those limbs. That is a beautiful bow. What kind of wood is that?

Didn't want to say anything but that limb twist looks like it's getting worse....lol

I kinda think you and that bow are as 1..It don't get no better than that.

Amen

Thanks for the update Ronnie and good luck tomorrow.

Good stuff...congrats G!

That's awesome!! Congrats, G!! "she tried to leave", I love it. Ronnie, give him a pat on the back for me. Congrats again to you both and thanks for sharing.

Congratulations, nice one!

way to go G good shooting

Yep, jerky's good stuff, but I'm with you on the backstraps and tenderloins, though.

Getting half drawn on them and having to let down a couple times at close range is a lot of fun too, whether you loose an arrow, or not. Especially when you get away with it without getting busted.

You're due buddy, I'm looking forward to the next one. Good luck guys!

>I had only gotten here 5 minutes earlier glad it isn't only me :) still, good hunt here. hope you have a good rest of the day! -ted

Happy thanksgiving to you my friend and to all your family.

Ronnie, I've enjoyed this thread from the start, but even more so now that I can't be in the woods. Thank you!

Yep, If I'd only been here five minutes sooner. Great thread, great pictures and some beautiful woods. Thanks again for sharing it with us. Best of luck to you and the boys.

I love this thread :-)

I slept in this morning and the first thing I did when I got up was check this thread. Nice pictures, glad you're into some deer. Good luck Selena and Ronnie, I hope you both shoot a slammer.

I have a feeling this could be your day Ronnie..You and the tide have been on a roll...thanks for sharing with us..

Crowfoot

This is like watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom! Now, back to the show.

Awesome!! Just checked back in and I can't wait to see some pics. A big congrats to her, whatever it is.

I sure appreciate you taking us along with you Ronnie.

I’ve been lurking on this thread in bits and pieces for weeks. Finally got to sit and go through the whole thing this morning. Thanks bunches for sharing, I’ve really enjoyed ‘being there.’ I empathize with your statement about project managers. My work went crazy with a last minute huge project that was stressing everyone. No time for anything for weeks on end. I finally got out to Ron’s place and flung some arrows with him last weekend.

This is an awesome thread. Hope your niece got a monster.

Congratulations Selena, good deer and excellent shot placment! Thanks for the thread Ronnie, it's the next best thing to being there.

Kindly

Congrats on a beautiful doe, Selena!! Great shot!! Ronnie, give that girl a big hug for me. Congrats to the guide, too.

Congrats to Selena...perfect shot....I just really didn't feel like going out tonight...Then I told myself that I needed to get out here...Home to stand in 20 minutes..I feel better already..

Congratulations to all! Like that silver squirrel too!

Joe

Way to go Selena, and thanks 9/10 for letting us join your hunt

Wow! What a great thread! Thanks for sharing all of this adventure and the beautiful country. JW

Good Lord brother, I wish I could be there to help you defend yourself against all those deer. I'm all excited sitting here reading about it, lol.

Sorry to hear about that big one, but like you said everything happens for a reason. Maybe you'll shoot him later and who knows, you might shoot his big brother.

Thanks for taking me along on a hunt I couldn't do right now otherwise and like a friend of mine always says "Live large and thank God for the opportunity".

On today's episode star hunter and expert bowman 9/10th is assessing his situation in the middle of what appears to be a Deer-pocalypse with imminent hog threat.

Hope you are having a magical day. You buy yourself?

Kindly

Put on a top hat and you are Abe

I want to get out .but too many things to catch up on before. Snow..

You and Miami will still be top 4...Badgers will need to beat Ohio next week

I see waldo's ear, lol.

Beautiful! There's nothing like spending a day in the woods. The only thing better, is more of the same.

I put this one in my favorites so I can read and reread to my hearts content. Thanks so much for taking the time to include all of us on your hunts. Lance.

Thanks 9/10ths, that read just like a bedtime story. I can't wait for the next trip!

Kindly

Good pics 9/10, thanks. Yeah, that is a funny posture on that doe. If I was to guess, I'd say that she's peeing on her tarsal glands.

Nothing wrong with that buck, either. I wouldn't even have to think about shooting him.

Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to what's to come.

I just read through this thread again. I think I've enjoyed it more than a lot of the hunting books I've read. Awesome thread, thanks again.

You still have lots of time. I'm waiting patiently for the next chapter, lol.
