2020-21 deer season
Very long season here in AL. Archery deer is first and begins 15Oct and will run all season long concurrent with the various muzzleloader and gun seasons thru 10Feb21 I think. Harvest limits best described as very liberal. NOrmally I have a lot of time to hunt,and access to ample property. I am still healthy and can just about do all I've always done, just a bit slower. I am very fortunate.
AL has legalized hunting over bait on pvt. property with correct state issued, purchased permit. I absolutely hate it. Bait is prohibited on state WMA's, and I find myself hunting the state land more as a result. Gun hunts on the WMA's are limited. Bow hunting the WMA's is permitted the entire season.....nearly 4 months.
Been shooting my bow(s) since July. I've finally got my Dad's bow retuned after struggling with it for 2+ yrs. It's dialed in and I look forward to taking it out. I was with him when he bought it 25 years ago. Ne never did kill anything with it. Bought bamaboy his license as a birthday gift just this week. Though we gobbler hunted a bit together this spring, we did not deer hunt together at all last year. I hope to get him to shake free from his big boy job and his recently acquired wife and hunt this fall.
I picked and prepped some dandy new trees during spring gobbler season and look forward to hunting these new spots. I need to get in the woods soon and put a few semi-permanent climbing sticks and stands up, but it's still very hot and hard to get too serious about hanging stands just yet.
Ample .308 ammo loaded. Working the kinks out of a .270 load. Acquired a new bullet for .243 rifles, anxious to see how it performs.
I'm getting the itch , but still bicycling and fishing alot.
