Sitting in a funnel between some really thick bedding and a swamp full of acorns. Creek has them cut off from the acorns and I’m sitting on the best crossing

I’m on a foodplot with lots of water oaks dropping around me...At 3:15, a doe and 2 fawns came out 200 yds. from me. They slowly made their way to a water oak close to me and I got greedy!! The doe was 33 yds. for a few minutes, but I really thought she’d come closer to me. The wind swirled and she caught a whiff of me and they took off. Why’d I do that!?

50 yds. from me:

JD I sure enjoyed those pics of deer in the boat last season. Hint !!!!

First sit of the year. Hunting in Blount County on some family land. Watching the corner of a field I planted in late September. Have plenty of does on camera in the afternoon. Hopefully I can get on the board early this season.

Swan creek wma this evening. Recurve ready in the swamp already seen one too far off.

Right after I posted the picture above, a mangy coyote came sneaking into the field. He got up to 30 yds. or so and went behind a bushy water oak. I drew and waited for him to step out. He never gave me a good shot, but I was able to find a hole to see his body. I knew it was gut-ish, but I didn’t care!! I let ‘er fly and he made a 75 yd. death run into the woods behind me with a Rage hole through his guts

I can see right now 2 armadillos, 2 deer, 4 gray squirrels, 1 ground squirrel and 2 dang mosquitos buzzing my ears.

I have never seen so many chipmunks in my life

Just had a doe and fawn come by at 5 yards. Fawn looked like it had lost its spots like yesterday and was probably still nursing. Couldn’t bring myself to kill the doe. Saw a doe through some thick stuff about an hour ago but she was like 80 yards off

Just smoked a doe at 18 yds! Gah I love this feeling never gets old! Ole knees are knocking

Had 3 does come through in bow range. Hoping for a buck in this spot. But dadgum it was hard not to pull the trigger

I had 2 spikes, a doe, and a fawn come into the field and work their way to 20 yards of me. I drew on the doe twice, but never could get a shot I liked. Finally, they all fed to the other side of the water oak they’d been under/behind and the doe finally stopped walking at 32 yards. I shot and she hit the ground like she’d been shot with a cannon!! I think I clipped her shoulder and it paralyzed her. I got another arrow in her at 40 yards and she was done. What a hunt!!!!! It ain’t every day that you see a deer go down from your stand while bow hunting!! Man, I love this!!!!!

👍🏻

Congrats to the killers!

I saw a couple does, out of range. Always like seeing deer on public land, though!

Congrats on the kills.

I had 4 does and a fawn come into the field about 5:00. Never got in range but just enjoyed seeing deer for the first sit of the year.

I didn’t find any acorns today. I’m gonna have to do some looking. How is your acorn crop?

I can’t step foot i the woods without seeing acorns everywhere! It’s hard to find a hot tree!
