Nice!!! Lovin the podcast man! keep up the great work. that X marks the spot has been a game changer for my hunting strategy. i really really appreciate you putting out the useful information. I struggled this year with this weird target panic/shot placement issues which to my extreme dismay resulted in an unrecovered buck, but that strategy put me in front of some of the nicest bucks I've seen on public! just wanted to thanks for the great content!

Good job Parker!! Love the podcast man keep up the good work and great content. Hopefully got the kidney stones in check 😉

Filled my last Alabama buck tag on Friday with a goofy tall 6. Went on a weekend trip a little further south to chase the crazy Alabama rut. We were honestly seeing deer on every sit. I saw legal bucks in nearly every spot I map scouted, so we really didn’t do much in person scouting on this hunt. Friday morning I went to a spot that had just about everything I was looking for. A marsh thicket, pine thicket, and hardwoods all came together to a T. Also, a giant slough created a perfect funnel right at the same spot. I set up just on the waters edge and caught this buck slip through at first light. I actually thought I had missed him, so I hunted till about 9 when a spike spooked after crossing the first bucks trail. I pulled up my binos and saw a pile of blood from the tree. Turns out my shot was back of the lungs and out liver. A short 75 yard track job and he was stiff as a board. Probably died within seconds of the shot.
