[GAMHUNTER35]

just north of camila. has some deer an might hav some ducks just trying to get the price down. since there are no hogs or turkeys

[huckleberrybo]

you certainly have my attention!would love to know more if it works out for ya

[GAMHUNTER35]

ok i should know in the next couple of weeks

[southGAlefty]

Been on birds both days so far and managed to call one to the gun for my uncle this morning. Might just be luck of the draw but I haven't had to deal with hens much so far (knock on wood). I love this time of year.

[R and D]

We have killed birds both mornings,some are henned up but lots are just out cruising....they were still gobbling when i left at 11

[GAMHUNTER35]

well my birds has hens with them they are never around when i am there. but the hens are thinning out so maybe it wont be long till the toms will come to my calling

[bonecollector]

most places birds are henned up bad but work them hens boys theyll put em in your lap ive got 2 and paw has 1 mid day is promising

[GAMHUNTER35]

well havnt heard any birds in mitchell lately anybody else hearing anything

[talisman]

was in early cty easter morning and they were gobbling good even with the cold mornings

[GAMHUNTER35]

yea i hav been in baker calhoun an they were talking good just not to me lol but going bac in the morning

[maxwell42583]

They really are not doing much in South Grady. I heard a couple of gobbles lately but they shut down around 7:30. Im going to start hunting another piece of property in North Grady and see how it goes. We gave up on our property in Miller because of the poaching problem that we encountered, turns out those guys had been slaying the turkeys on our property and surrounding properties. Glad they went to jail.

[southGAlefty]

I missed one this morning about 8:15. No gobbling whatsoever that I heard but I called his girlfriends to me and he strutted to the decoys. I just couldn't finish the drill. I'll be back after them in the morning.

[GAMHUNTER35]

well my tom went across the road an got took out by another hunter. havnt heard or seen anymore so looking for more land

Ronnie kinda looks like one of them sasqautches ! Congrats on the birds , looks like a heck of a season so far .

[Tailfeather]

Got two in Decatur Co, and one in Grady. Taking my little boy now to see if we can get lucky. Been a good season.

[Tailfeather]

Btw, fellas....I just moved here last summer. I have a small place to hunt near Reno, but am looking for somewhere else too. Not having much luck finding anyplace nearby....

If any of you are in any clubs that need members, etc. let me know. I'm a nice guy, I swear...lol. I can also offer some good fishing.

What about that land up near the reservoir....that gonna be open again?

[GAMHUNTER35]

well i wish they would open up tired creek again alot of birds over there. but they hav closed it down. i hav been going to wmas just not been able to close the deal hear lots of birds just cant call them in.been filming some nice toms on private land but land owner will not let me hunt them. had 2 nice toms at 40 yds this afternoon. 1 was gobblin but barely could hear him.

[GAMHUNTER35]

[talisman]

Hey guys if anyone is looking for a electric golf cart i have a nice camo club car lifted for sale $3400

[gagirl320]

Anyone know if they are going to let folks hunt Tired Creek this year?

[hortonhunter22]

im doubtful that we will ever get to hunt that property again...i think the days of tired creek tract have come and gone with all this lake project stuff

[Buckfever]

Wasn't it suppose to be a lake project originally many years ago? I know the state had it listed as a WMA for a couple years before turning it back over to the county.

[hortonhunter22]

yea its always been the talk of that lake...usually sprung up by an election year..but seems as if they might actually do it this time. They are spending money to survey and do all the planning sounds like through the grapevine...we will see what happens. it was some of the prettiest hardwoods i have ever seen.

[southGAlefty]

Getting a few cool-ish mornings here for August, weather man said 65* when I woke up this morning. Hope it stays that way, I could go for a cold winter!

[huckleberrybo]

Where's all the chatter?finally get a lease around home and everybody gets lock jaw. I was out at the land yesterday and saw my first fawn of the year.Hope that means a low coyote population.Anybody planting anything? My neighbor has planted so much and ag fields around me I'm considering just going with feeders. I think my lands the bedroom and his is the kitchen. Nothing but slick heads on camera anybody getting ahit list together.

[hortonhunter22]

was seeing the deer in the fields in the evenings a while back...thats slowed lately have been seeing them regular on the early morning drive to work....ive only got pics of a single doe and her fawn on our feeder...a lil off from last year when i just scattered the corn on the ground...seemed to get way more pics this way...but there are some big peanut fields nearby that im thinkin probably have the deers attention right now. Hope some of the young up and comers that cruised through late last year show back up for a sniff around while im there

[huckleberrybo]

its not fit for man nor beast outdoors,hard to believe seasons a week away,thinkin about hunting in nothin but camo drawers and a thermacell, anybody shoot any birds today?

[R and D]

It sure was hot...spent almost 9 hrs on tractor cutting food plots today

[hortonhunter22]

went to elmodel that was a bust looked like...4 hrs in and everybody was just sittin under the shade trees shooting the bull...may have been 50 shots before we left bout 4 430...they were picking corn yesterday should be good dove shoot next saturday

[huckleberrybo]

Hosed again at rivercreek,even got me on adult/youth hunt. I guess I'll just go sling arrows those two weeks. Did get second hunt again at silverlake with no priority points .I'm thinking they can't give that hunt away. Anybody have any luck on first pick?

[hortonhunter22]

man if ya want to go to river creek you will have to decide up front and not apply for any other hunts...you will need at least 4 priority points i would guess. The chances of getting the december hunt anyway...i hear ya can get that early gun hunt with only 1 or 2 rejections. its kinda hard to wait that long, especially when ya have other places around that you could hunt the rut on a quota and probably get a nice deer if ya put your time in. They kill some nice deer at silver lake every year. but ill wait it out at least one more time...after that my boys will probably be ready to start chasin after em, maybe, and we will start goin somewhere with more deer

[southGAlefty]

First sit of the year tonight and I was on the deer. Got busted by a spike when he crossed below me instead of above me like he was supposed to. After he blew I found out there was at least one more with him. Oh well, I'll take it for the first sit.

[hortonhunter22]

thats awesome...still yet to get my first sit in...prolly get after them tomorrow it sure feeling like fall in the air today...did get the first call of the year...so deer #1 is at the cooler waiting on me...yehaw

[GAMHUNTER35]

got picked for the adult child hunt on river creek. didnt know that only the child could shoot but we will be there

[hortonhunter22]

haha gamhunter if the adult could shoot i would be borrowing folks kids to get out there lol...good luck out there...looks a lil different out there this year

[GAMHUNTER35]

[ACracing98]

[mrnow]

Back in Cairo for hunting season. Big fat nothin today, maybe tomorrow will be better.

[GAMHUNTER35]

got some pics of some nice bucks. neighbor got a doe the other day an i went this morning an got me a doe she had a small 4 an a small 6 following her come by at 10 am got to work tomorrow

[southGAlefty]

For all you Thomas county guys, when is the "time" to be in the woods? We've got some land right on the Grady/Thomas line just off Hwy 84 and I'm just wondering if a difference in a few miles could make that big of a difference in how they rut compared to our land that's closer to the city limits of Cairo? Its usually mid to late December there.

[GAMHUNTER35]

wish this wind would lay down lol

[shaynepaul708]

Always before Thanksgiving on on all my places lefty i have about 5 small tracks from Thomasville to Ochlocknee
