Let us all know your planning, questions, observations and opinions...

Some of the highlights to expect -

Primitive Camping

, water from a jug and a hand held toilet = Shovel (please keep seperate); Great Campfires where lotsa yarn is spun :hair:

(you know them things that male cows leave in a field); especially if someone's Brother in Law shows up. Then there's the Wildgame Grillin. Nose spray, ear plugs and or phones helpful but not required :bounce:

!

Then there's the real reason for doing this - The North Georgia Mountain Hunting...

Deer Season in Alabama...

Hey All -

OK, lesson learned about disposable camera's... Use them for a trip and then get the film developed ASAP... I lost all of the pics I took from my 9 day Bear Hunt in the Jacks Gap area of North Georgia this season...

I did however have deer pics on the camera... Here is the one of "Shorty" my Custom '71 Marlin 444s and the last two does I popped on January 22nd...

I will be picking them up from the processor next weekend...

This is the 2nd doe on my first day of Muzzle Loader Season (11/17) at "Smith Lake" (Yellowcreek Hunting Club in Houston, AL), took her with my CVA Optima Pro Magnum, clean pass through shoulder to shoulder at 100 yards with 150 grains (three pellets) T7 and a 270 Grain Powerbelt Paltinum -

This Butterball Nanny was taken at 150 yards with my Browning 300 Win Mag using Federal Fusion 165 Grainer -

It was a bountiful season for my "Trophy Room" (aka Freezer)... WOO HOO!!!

Post some of your favorite pics from this season...

See you in the woods...

I looked out the front window Sunday about 4 and there was a small flock under the oak tree. :woooohooooo:

Marlin_444 · Feb 8, 2011

Now, dang... I gotta get the long bow out and practice... Time to work up a load & pattern the 12 GA muzzle stuffer too... I want to bring my Son-in-law out with me... We deer hunted, but he did not see anything... I did but the two does were too small (Yearlings), I put momma in the freezer earlier

... Won't be long now...

See you in the woods...

See you in the woods...

hope to be there

hate you lost all the pics ron. guess it's a good thing you didn't get a big ole bear, or you would be pestering us to send you some pics :smash:

has anyone mentioned doing a scouting trip before Turkey day opens?? hopefully i can make it.

i was registered for a fire class that week, but got put on a waiting list, so hopefully i can make it up there.

ranger374 · Feb 9, 2011

as far as season pics go, i should have one of a big ole bear, but-well you know how that went

anyways, i did add a deer to the trophy wall, and 2 slick heads to the freezer.

when trapping season ends in a couple of weeks, i'll post a season end pic of those too.

anyways here's my little old deer

Marlin_444 · Feb 10, 2011

Howard, nobody can take away that RUSH you had when you pulled the trigger - - You got the KA BOOM but unfortunately not the PLOP...

New season is upon us soon...

See you in the woods...

yeah, it's a GA deer. never knew he was around till the day i shot him. the fella hunting behind us had a BIG 8 pt on his camera that he had been getting pics of all year, but never saw this one. guess the rut got him moving out of his home range and i was just at the right place at the right time. now i got another taxidermy bill

Marlin_444 · Feb 20, 2011

Hey Y'all -

Hokked up with Pnome at BPS yesterday, I was in town to get my taxes done (been using same person for 15 years) and My Sister in Law (Morrow Mustang Class '84) hsd her Mustang Mayhem birthday wing ding at the Wishing Well in Stockbridge last night... My wife graduated from Morrow High in the class of '79...

Hope to see y'all March 26th and 27th for Turkey Day opener at the end of 296...

See you in the woods...

Hey Brother Eddie -

Today I am 17 - 32 years later...

Age is indeed like Mind over matter... If you don't mind it don't matter...

I woke up this morning excited to get the day started, hugged my wife before she was out the door for work; then lit a candle of Joy and Concern for the World, our GREAT Country and our Soldiers fighting for our freedom...

My daughter hugged my neck as she was leaving for classes at The University of Alabama...

God is indeed good... I look forward to seeing you all soon!!!

SCREAM A LITTLE and I'll see you in the woods...

Ron
