Settled into a ladderstand that is 400 yds off a picked peanut field and about 600 yds from a cut cornfield. There is a heavy oak funnel that leads to this plot and upland pine transition area. Last time I sat here saw 15. Brought the bow and 7 mm. Bow only for does until after Christmas on our lease.

Little description of our lease. About 600 acres are irrigated crops and the remaining 700 acres is made up of plantation pines, swamp bottom hardwoods, and short long leaf pines. We have four plots scattered out on the property. Our lease is part of a 20,000 acre Coop that is working together to improve the herd. This is year four and the results have been great so far!!

Woods are waking up time to focus.

Found a lot of fresh sign on our SW part of the lease. Crawled into a tower overlooking a turkey foot shooting lanes in short pines and thick cypress. Sounded like this morning was dead all over. Sitting long the next couple days.

Back in the same stand ad yesterday evening. Saw one doe right before dark here. Moving a little slow after a few adult beverages last night.

Sounds fairly active for you. Been dead here in Crisp. Had one running around in front of me early, never could get a look at it.

Good luck and be safe

Thanks Al. Really very very slow for us down here. Normally everyone see double digits every sit.

Moved to one of my favorite spots, it is good all the time but really good when the wind gets up.

Sitting in a tower looking over a food plot that is in the middle of 8 year old long leaf pines. There is a hardwood bottom surrounding the pines that is loaded with acorns. This plot is a transition zone about 600 yards off an irrigated field. There is also a cypress lake nearby and as dry as it is the deer have to be near the water. Passed a mid 130's 10 pt here in October hoping to get a crack at one a hair bigger.

Weather is looking great going to head out in a couple minutes.

Headed back to the Longleaf plot with rattling horns hoping this cool morning gets the deer up and moving.
