Good SouthEast Alabama Eight Point
Well I started out the afternoon in a new stand looking to kill a hog. I was in the stand till about 4:15 and really didn't like it plus my buddy was going to have to pick me up early so I got out and walked to a new stand. I had never been in this tripod before and was wanting to get a feel for it. It over looked a road that separated hardwoods from shot short pines. I was in the stand about 10 minutes when I hear a gun shot. My boddy was the only guy on the lease other then me so I got my phone out to see if he had shot his first deer. As I pulled my phone out it starts ringing but it my wife, I answered and reminded my wife that I was hunting when I see a deer step out of the hardwoods about 150 yards away. I told my wife to hold on I pulled up my rifle saw it was a good buck and BANG flop kick, kick, kick. I hit himin the spine and he hit the dirt. I picked the phone up and my wife was still talking, she asked what that sound was and I told her I just shot a deer with her on the phone. I called my buddy and asked if he had shot he had but a hog not a deer. When I told him I shot an eight point he nearly flipped. It has been a great first day to my vacation this year.

Where abouts are you hunting in SE Bama? We have been seeing a lot of scrapes south of Elba, sort of unusual for this early in the year. Looks like your buck's tarsals aren't very dark yet.
