Although it has been nearly five weeks ago, there, to this point, has not been much press, if any, regard-ing the future collegiate and professional athletes that sweated and worked their hearts out Decem-ber 8 during the Gulf Coast Youth Sports Alliance’s football championships. Not just talent was shown here, but the charac-ter and sportsmanship seen on the field greatly ex-plained the reason why this league is the birthplace of so many football stars around the nation. To name a very small few, Emmitt Smith, Derrick Brooks, Trent Richardson, Josh Sitton, and Alfred Morris. The teams which arrived to this game arrived there through a playoff method of championships. The teams went to quarter finals, then semi-finals resulting in the finals. The most intriguing game was the Mini Mites Fi-nals where Pensacola Tigers challenged Perdido Bay Buccaners. For the PT, being in a champion-ship game was not out of the norm, however, for PBB, this was the first time any of their teams made it to the finals making this game very special, regardless the outcome.

The 2013 gun season is well un-derway and, so far, the numbers of deer harvested in Northwest Flori-
da and South Alabama seem to be running behind from previous years. One reason for this is likely due to the extremely hot weather we have had of late. The good news is that we are now starting to get a few days of cold weather. Additional-ly, due to recent rain, the food plots that had to be planted late be-cause of drought have now started to really produce a lot of green-ery. On top of that
good news, doe days have started in Northwest Florida, which will allow hunters to put a little meat in their freezers.
If your luck runs anything like mine has in the past years, you will actually see more bucks than does during these days. For you tro-phy hunters, just hold on for about three more weeks and the Janu-ary rut will kick off in Northwest Florida and South Alabama. The really big bucks that we seldom see in daylight will have their mind on something else and they can get a little careless. This is the time you will want to spend all day in the woods. Look for rubs and scrape lines. Also, look for where smaller trails cross larger deer trails and for buck droppings (they will be clumped and not scattered). Now, I am going to let you in on one of my well-kept secrets about
deer attractants. As we know, most of them are made to sell and just don’t work. However, I am going to tell you about one product that I have had outstanding success with, both as a drag (scent cover) and as an attractant. This scent is called Harmon Triple Heat and it has produced several trophies for me in January and during the late-season muzzle loader hunts in February in Northwest Florida. I have used this scent in the Janu-ary and February ruts, along with a can doe bleat, which has worked very well for me. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and great success the rest of this hunting season – and many more.
