Bow kill #4, first buck this year

[TNMountain]

Headed to a area I haven't touched this season, waiting for the right time (our rut is super late in the season), and was fortunate enough to tag a good hill country 8 point with my bow on public land. 3 doe and a buck so far, and my area in southern Franklin county is just now getting hot. This fella made 4 scrapes and 2 rubs before I got a shot opportunity at 18 yards. Nothing like bow hunting!

No sir. Our rut coincides with north Alabama's primary rut. I've hunted this particular area for 19 years and I see doe still carrying well into first week of bow season.

Impressive to me to have a bow kill of any deer in December. Congrats!
