Spent the weekend in W. Alabama doing some deer hunting with my brother-in-law, T-town, and some beaver damn busting/beaver killing/duck hunting with T-town, Hardcore, Flydown, and Birdie.
The ducks weren't flying good, but I did manage to bust a nice male beaver in the head. (Don't have pics yet).
This morning it was in the high 40's, a light wind, and extremely foggy. I could only see about 50 yards in front of the stand. I was hunting a rolling pasture where the deer travel from wood line to wood line.
After sunrise I could see blobs moving through the pasture. The binos and scope were useless at this point. I had to use my peripheral vision to see the deer move. At one point this buck got close enough that I could only tell it was a buck because he was trotting and sniffing the ground. As he got closer I could see him run into the wood line. A few minutes later I could see 3 or 4 blobs in the pasture that I assumed were doe.
At about 6:50, the fog had burned off enough that I could see about 100 yards out. This buck had gone back out into the pasture at some point and gotten turned back towards the wood line again trailing another doe. As he got close enough that I could see him through my scope, I could see the right side of his rack. I could tell it was tall, but not enough detail to tell what he was point wise. We had seen this buck numerous times this weekend. He even chased a doe in front of the truck twice this morning as we were driving in. T-town had observed him chasing does many times over the past two weeks. He was one horny dude. :lol:
He turned out to be a nice six point. I don't deer hunt very much, so this will be my only deer this season, but I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks bro for some good hunting this weekend.

This was about an hour after I shot him and it's still foggy

That's a nice buck. His doggin days are done!
That's a heck of a 6 point. Congrats. Besides not being able to see much, there's something cool about hunting in the fog to me. I especially love a foggy morning Spring Turkey Hunt.
