Not much to report on the property just east of Alapaha. Couple of guys up the last two weekends. A few deer seen, one fork horn on a plot. I will be up after New Years to close things up.
Three deer taken for the season on 1000 acres.
Neighbors to the east seemed to take much more than we did, no good buck that I have heard of though, just a couple of 6 points from them, although one big guy seen earlier.

Whitetailer,not too far from you just north of Lax. My father in law went to fill up feeders and had a big buck cross the dirt road with his nose to the dirt. It went into lease and came back on the road and then circle back and walked within 5 ft of his boxstand.
He said it was biggest buck he ever saw and his son said it had to be a reindeer with that much rack on his head.
He said you could see a track where a smaller deer crossed there so he assumed it to be a doe that the buck was trailing. So there are some still looking and because of Christmas we are having Saturday I will be there Sunday morning. Gonna put my camera out also to try to get a picture of him if I don't get him.

OH yeah,
I have encountered a few big guys in late season. I shot a 10 point on January 11 abut 14 years ago. That deer was hot on a Doe in esterous. I do not know how many Doe avoid being serviced this late in the year, but it is always a possibility.
Three years ago I was dragging a metal ladder stand with my atv and a huge buck jumped across the road I was on only 40 feet in front of me. I can only assume the Doe ran across shortly before or he would not have done that.
It is tough to be optomistic this late, but it can happen.

Not much to report. No one on the property for a couple of weeks. There will be some of us up for the last ditch effort for the last couple of weeks. I am taking my son up to hunt next weekend and to bring my ATV home and just close up camp. Gotta move some stands as they are going to thin and burn over the winter.

Yeah, you know it. When I got the property they had just clearcut. It was incredable how many deer I would see. Just because you could see....
Then four years ago when they did a minor thin job it was great hunting the new grown vegatation between the cuts.
I spoke to Jim R and he said he wants back in next year.
Also, Thanks for the referral. I fished your friend his wife and son. We had a nice 1/2 day trip. Caught Reds, Drum, Jacks, Snapper, Sheepshead, Trout, etc.
And, as long as I am talking, that was a very nice Christmas card. The photos tell it all.
