2024 Live from the stand

They are feeling good here this frosty December morning. Had 4 or 5 antlerless(one looked like a button) running around playing and chasing each other while two bigger does just fed. Good luck to everyone still hunting.

It's too early in the morning for me to have Thanksgiving leftovers (again…). Kudos for your endurance during this holiday season.

Been a fantastic morning here so far. Lost count on does, 3 different bucks and just watched 3+ minutes of one heck of a fight. Really considered shooting the bigger buck just before the other came out. Probably a 3.5 year old maybe older, not much for antlers. Have video of the fight but will have to try to load it when I have wifi. This short clip was just a minute or two before the fight started.

Didn't kill anything, but what a great morning. Had to cut the resolution, they were about 150 yards away. Glad I passed that buck.

Killed a 10pt in this spot many many years ago, haven't hunted it hardly at all over the Years. I'm not seeing anything in my normal spots so I thought I'd go old school and do a ground hunt. It where a Hollar ends into a big flat creek bottom. Behind me is two small fields.

Very thick tight spot off a food plot…should see a good one or nothing here….

I prefer a treestand in the woods but set up in a groundblind overlooking a small food plot that has been getting alot of use. I have hunted 10 out of the last 11 days and wanted an easy hunt to finish of the marathon ! I am wore out!

Hunting the last evening of the south Cherokee hunt. Hunting a thicket I've seen alot of deer in. Hope a buck comes cruising by.

Have had activity pretty well all day today on the two cell cameras I have running, so figured the stand I sat this morning could be good. Within 5 minutes of getting in the stand have 3 does already out.

Had an opportunity on the winner of this mornings fight, but let him walk again.

Nice young 6 just came across.

Thank you God for all you give us. What a great day today was for deer movement here. Secondary rut maybe? Ended up having several opportunities this afternoon and just took it in. Had the wide buck my son missed broadside in my scope multiple times and never even flipped off the safety. The winner of the fight i shot video of on my phone this morning was in the plot, totally oblivious of the much nicer racked buck on the treeline working several scrapes.

I didn't hunt today. After seeing y'all's movement reports makes me wish I would have. I went to town about 4 to pick us up some food and coming back there's a crop field in the city limits and there were 5 or 6 deer in the field about 250 yards away. One had to be a 150" plus. He was a stud. It's only 1.5 miles from my house. Wish he'd make his way down here.

Seen 2 does which is a pretty good hunt on South Cherokee. Now back to the lease looking for a doe or two to top off the freezer. I still have a buck tag incase old mossy horns staggers by.

Finally started seeing deer this early this morning . Several about 200 yards away but couldn't put horns on any of them. It would have been a tough shot anyways through the woods. About 9 ish a six point come over the ridge about 50 yards from me . Scoped him and was looking to send one his way but talked myself out-of it . He had a decent rack but he was young . Boy I wanted to pull that trigger because I haven't shot at anything ....he was even heading towards the truck but patience won out .
