Alabama deer 2024

Well…three days left in the season and I am back in the tree. It’s 72° with 69% humidity and a 15 mph north east wind. I decided to try again this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Super Bowl party tomorrow night and work on Monday. I have seen a couple really good bucks out cruising this week so I am hunting doe hot spots today and tomorrow.

As a diehard elk hunter I really trust my nose. On the way in, I have fresh big buck tracks near my stand and could definitely smell rutty deer. Fingers crossed for a big buck to step out in daylight.

The doe hot spot is working..kind of. Does are out and feeding in range. Just need a big buck to come by to check them. According to the biologist, the vast majority of the deer in this region of Alabama are bred this week.

I am finally feeling better. It’s just nice to be in the stand again. Today is muzzleloader. I have two does @ 100 yards feeding. It’s sunny and the wind is in my face. There are usually three does in this group and I have patterned them all season. Just hope the third is with a buck still waiting to step out.
