    In the stand here in Alabama on a ridge top with tons of acorns on the ground. Sorounded by pines along way from the rut in BAMA.

    Finally back in the tree. I'm hunting a spot that I just randomly picked on the map...never hunted it before. Got sh1t for shooting lanes, no food, no sign, but at least the wind is decent (it has picked up speed though).

    This week is it for me for vacation time, I'll get 2 days a week off to hunt after this, maybe an xtra day if I hear things are peaking and my dad will cover for me a day.

    Yea, and where I work you pretty well have to pick it January 1st. Everyone usually takes the same weeks every year. I usually get the week if the GTG, 1st week of November, then a week I float a few days here and there on. Usually turkey season and a couple shotgun season.

    Damn you haven't given up yet. Have you even seen a deer? Do you even know what a deer looks like. Give it a rest dude, I'm tired if looking at your ugly mug in your videos, go find a deer farm so you can at least film a damn deer.






    Good luck ferg, watch out for those Fergie bucks.

    Just got up and settled in. Definitely a little later than wanted but not bad time seeing as I was tearing down a fence 30 minutes ago. Helps living 10 minutes from where you hunt. Good luck fellas.

    Yeah, we pick it that way too. I work swing shift so we have our schedules for the year. I usually get a couple weeks in November and April and then whatever else might come up.

    The good thing is, I work first shift, and I almost always work new yrs day, so I get to fill
    Out vacation slips before anyone. But like I said, I know when every one else takes theirs usually so I try not to screw any one over.
