GEORGIA DEER HUNTING AT HOME | 15.8 FULL EPISODE
As the sun began to rise over the Georgia woods, the Backwoods Life crew was buzzing with excitement. Michael and Trey were ready to embark on a deer hunting adventure right in their home state. “It’s always exciting when you get a new place to hunt,” Michael said, reflecting on the hard work they had put into preparing for the season. With the rut kicking into high gear, they were eager to see what the day would bring. One of the best deer hunting tips I can offer is to put in the effort before the season even starts.
The preparations had been extensive, from setting up trail cameras to planting food plots and putting up deer stands. “We had a lot to do in a short time,” Michael noted, but they were determined to make the most of their new lease. Having the essential hunting gear, like reliable trail cams and comfortable stands, makes all the difference. As they settled into their stands, anticipation hung in the air like the morning mist.
On opening day of rifle season, Michael and his son Kyler were out in the woods for their first official deer hunt together. “We’ve ridden around and looked for deer, but we’ve never actually sat in a stand with a gun until today,” Michael explained. The excitement was palpable as they waited for their first sighting. “Kyler tried his best to get me to shoot one of those does, but we’re buck hunting today,” he added, knowing that patience was key.

Meanwhile, Beth and Michael were also on the hunt. A nice buck they had been tracking appeared on camera, but they decided to let him pass, unsure if bigger ones were lurking nearby. “We don’t want to shoot any does off this property yet,” Beth said, keeping her eyes peeled for something more promising.
As Thanksgiving approached, the prime time for deer hunting in Georgia arrived. Michael found himself sitting in a redneck blind with his friend Bobby. “We’ve seen a couple of bucks and some turkeys,” he reported after a long sit in the rain. “We passed on one pretty good buck, hoping for something better.” The camaraderie between friends made the wait enjoyable, even if the deer weren’t cooperating.

After a stressful morning filled with deer running all over the place, Michael finally got the green light from Bobby. “Go ahead and shoot one!” Bobby encouraged. With a steady hand and focused aim, Michael took his shot at an eight-point buck. “We got some nice eight-point on the ground here in Georgia!” he exclaimed, feeling the thrill of success wash over him.
With the dust knocked off his rifle, it was Kyler’s turn to take aim in the afternoon. “I rubbed his hat for good luck,” Michael joked as they settled into their blind together. The bond between father and son was evident as they shared this special moment in nature.

Suddenly, a buck appeared near their feeder. “I think I’m ready when you are,” Kyler said with excitement. As they watched the deer approach, Michael felt a rush of pride watching his son experience this moment. “That’s worth it right there,” he said, knowing that hunting was about more than just the kill; it was about creating memories together.
After a few tense moments, Kyler spotted antlers through the trees. “We actually got a buck down!” he shouted as they approached their prize together. “This is officially the first animal that we’ve ever shot hunting together!” Michael beamed with pride as they admired Kyler’s eight-point buck.

Meanwhile, Trey Weatherington had been patiently waiting for his opportunity. After years of hunting his home farm without shooting a deer, he finally spotted a familiar buck he had been tracking for years. “Oh my god! I can’t believe that!” Trey exclaimed as he took his shot. The buck dropped instantly, and Trey couldn’t contain his excitement as he celebrated this long-awaited moment.
“There’s something special about hunting right here close to home,” Michael reflected as he and Trey admired their trophies. The hard work they had put into their lease paid off in spades, providing them with not just deer but cherished memories with family and friends.
