This has been a terrible three weeks. I've been sick since before Christmas with what the doctor is calling Asthmatic Bronchitis. I had it for the four weeks before Christmas, then felt good for a week and a half and then had a relapse, but worse this time. I'm on anti-biotic, Albutrol inhaler, and cough syrup of some type. The worst thing is having to miss so much deer hunting. We still have three weeks of hunting, so all is not lost. One more week of rifle and two of primitive weapons.

The Rut is almost here and the hunter's of Alabama are getting ready.Even though I have gain it seems like thirty pounds over the holidays it is now time for me to loose some of that weight by sitting long hours waiting on the one buck that has been around for a while.Season here in Alabama ends on sunday the 31st.

I videoed my first hunt this past Monday, 12/28/2009. I was using a field scope holder, attached to the front window sill of the "Shower Stand" ( http://thedeercamp.ning.com/photo/albums/shower-deer-stand ). It worked perfectly, since the stand is 3/8" thick, much like that of a side window of a automobile. I place the camera on the front window of the stand, hoping that it would be the direction that I would most likely se… Continue

I know that the rut is different in every state and in every different part of every state, but ours is so late, that you are just about wore out before the rut gets here! Our peak rut is December 29th each year, give or take a few days. We have seen very few scraps so far this year, so it's time to do a little walking tomorrow. With the full moon this week, maybe it will cause some hormones to kick in! Our second rut kicks in at the end of January, our final primitive weapon season. It's differ… Continue

I haven't been to the woods for two weeks, my wife and I have had the crud. I hope to get to hunt this weekend and hopefully not cough too much. I plan to hunt in a box stand with a small Coleman heater and not get too cold with the cold.

The pre-rut is just starting to kick in here, with the peak of the rut on or about December 29th, so I hope the Mike's Magic, doe-in-heat will pull one in for an invitation to dinner! I need to pick up a couple of Pee Willie Wicks to put out, it should be a go… Continue

1) Man did not evolve from apes! We are still apes, look in the mirror after 3 days at the deer camp!
2) If I have to put up with your crap, you should have to put up with mine, It's called unconditional LOVE!
3) 98% of all statistics are wrong!
4) Studies show that couples have sex three time a week on average, those men that aren't, are deer hunters!
5) If you pray for something, but then still fret and worry over it, you're not really a believer!
6) Dogs are the best judge of character!
7) If… Continue
