Hate to be a wimp but it just got where it wasn't fun sitting there in that craziness anymore and I got a ton of meat so I'm out. Saw two squirrels. @antharper @Dupree @B. White and anyone else keepin on. Y'all wear em out! I got some fried chicken on my mind.

I never saw anything other than the ones going in. I'm surprised it didn't feel worse than it did with 15 deg temp drop and high wind. I would have stayed home, but there were a couple of scrapes that have been hit the past two days. Also a lot of pines broke off knee high. Usually when I see them broke off instead of rubbed this time of the year there is a decent one nearby.

So I was successful in making it 4 for 4 on the Paulding Forest gun hunt. I'm consistent if nothing else. I went in tonight about 4:15 when the rain slowed to a tolerable level. I decided to just walk and look since I had the place to myself. Rain stopped completely at 5:15. I walked around the perimeter until I came out to the power line. I stood there and watched until dark.
No deer and no cameras seen. I did find what looked like a plastic artificial vine that someone hung up in a tree. Not sure what that was about.

Trip wire for the antique camera you didn't see.

I had one of the best hunts you can have without pulling the trigger. You know I had my daughter in the best spot , and it was a constant supply of texts . Little buck , 4 more deer , another small buck , 2 little ones and then Big Buck Daddy !!! I’m all jacked up waiting on a shot . I had seen a few and one little basket 8 and then about 5:40 I said I know that was a grunt . Took my hood off and got to watch and listen to one of the best buck chases I’ve ever witnessed . 2 shooter bucks with one being quite bigger . Both grunting and roaring all over a hillside of young pines . Never could get a decent shot between running deer everywhere and trying to make sure I shot the biggest one . Can’t wait to get back .
My daughter said her big buck popped out in the road and one of the biggest does ran and he never slowed down .

You can see them in this but it’s hard to get a shot at a chasing buck . Every time he would stop all I could see was head .

The biggest population of fox squirrels known to man live at the Judge and Legislator golf courses at RTJ Capitol Hill in Prattville, AL along the AL River. They are so thickly populated, I think they ran off all the grey squirrels lol.
