Day 5.....

Fixing to head into the same spot again. The wind is still perfect, plus I want to see if I can find that kitty. Good luck to everyone that is lucky enough to hit the woods today.

How bout sleep in every now and then.... Good luck...

I'm here 200 yards off a green field in some thinned pines.

Good luck

Good luck guys...

Good luck!

Nothing yet. This moon has my morning hunts slowed down.

That's a negative Ghost Rider. It's a 03:15 wake up call every morning.

Good luck fellas..

Good luck guys.

Saturday will come eventually for the rest of us.

Good luck, from the working folks..

Amen!

I made it in the woods today and been covered up in deer since daylight. No shooters though. Sitting a creek bottom/SMZ between a cut over and planted pines. It's raining white oak acorns too. Just had a small buck browse by as I typed. Pumped about the deer movement.

I've seen a lot on the sides of the roads this morning

Yeah sometimes midnight shift is ok. It's not often but occasionally.

Good luck. I got to go twice. May get to ML hunt a day or two.

I haven't seen near as many deer this year as usual. I've got pictures, just haven't crossed paths yet.

Pulled out of my driveway to see a small buck in the neighbor's yard.

Had nice 3 year old 8pt at 20yds at daylight. Let him pass and nothing since then.

I'm off the hunting path for a week. I will be heading to the club on the evening of the 12th for 4 days. Until then living vicariously through these lftt threads. Good luck fellas, stay safe!!!!

Good luck fellas and be safe. Wear your harnesses!

Kill em all

Couldn't find the bobcat. Crap was so thick I could've stepped on it and not seen it.

Got settled in the stand on a field on cahaba WMA bout 1400hrs . Already had 5 long beards come in and wonder around

Just got settled in on a white oak ridge in Jefferson county

On the south finger ridge where I shot my 8pt Monday. Emmett and I were going to lay off the area til Sunday, but we brought Ms. Pam with us. Hoping she can get her first bow kill buck. She's in the middle loc-on where Emmett got his 8pt. Emmett is in the north loc-on.

Just settled back in after a quick lunch. Trying a little hidden food plot on a creek with lots of water oaks. Skwerls everywhere! Nice and overcast... ought to be a good sit.

Nothing but squirrels and an old guy walking his dog so far. It's my first time hunting a tract behind a neighborhood that I just picked up, definately a new experience

I have my 8 year old with me so decided to do a little scouting today. The road we walked in on has quite a few tracks so we're sitting on the ground in a makeshift blind.

I got a wild hair and split out of work early. Just got setup overlooking a vernal pool at the base of a steep holler. Believe it's trying to rain

Whats it saying!?!?!

LOL autocorrect sucks. Fixed it

The opening in the center of the pic is where I shot the 8pt Monday morning:



Pic of the stand. I've got to reposition it. Sumbitch is killing my sciatic nerve going to my left leg.

Could've just slocked 3 bucks around 110 give or take a few inches.... Waiting for their pops

Dang! Ended up seeing 5 bucks total and one was a BEAST! He came out to late and just out of range. It was too dark to sling a dreamer, prolly 65-70 yards before he went into a thin set of woods. Had to score in the high 140- low 150s. May have been "Killer" from last year on the slight downhill as far as a rack....damn I was soooo close. Was sitting in a fallen limb. Gotta love ag land deer haha!
Set up, we'll just noticed this massive limb had fallen and these are some of the favorite areas to hunt, much better than a stand because of the natural cover IMHO. Also it was lightly raining which is also my favorite condition to hunt in. Perfect day, get off work and see some good bucks and almost the chance at a monster!

Didn't get to hunt today, but we made a trip to Lynchburg, TN and saw deer all over the place. That stretch of I-24 from 59 to Murfreesboro has some fine looking ag fields.

Snuck in a stand right at 4 this pm. Was there maybe 20 mins and spotted a doe to my right at 60 yards she was just wondering around eating. I watched her for about 40 mins and she just wondered off. I sat back in my stand still looking in that direction and here he came. A NICE 10 pointer doing the exact same thing. It was starting to get dark and I watched him all the way. Trying to get him to come closer I hit my grunt twice. I got his attention he came a little closer but still not in range. I hit one more time and here came another buck behind him. He turned and ran that buck off and I literally watched him walk off into the dark. I was in my buddy stand that I use when my daughters go with me. I'm either going to use my climber this weekend or just stay out of there until the youth hunt next weekend. Not sure yet.

Damn Sonny you have all kinds of shucks in that tree with ya! You are PREPARED!

Ended up missing ol nannerhead. Range finder took a swim in the river so had to do the ol step off to get yardage. Shot under her

Looks like this is the first day everybody got skunked. This rain may last until mid morning tomorrow. As soon as it quits I'm going on a recon mission with my Lone Wolf on my back to a strip of hardwoods no one's hunted in years. These recon missions normally have a way of working out for me. Don't worry Bowfool, on these recon missions I don't have as much chit with me.
