Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Area 41, Doe and 2 spotted fawns so far.

Have strolled thru. Eating soft browse heading west.
Cut across lots of fresh tracks walking in on the new trail.

Orange glow tacks suck..
Last 1/3rd of trail was orange ones, ran outta silver ones laying it in.

Dont buy em...
They dont pick up and reflect very well.
Machete blaze marks on trees are better than those orange abortions....

This is the veiw from the high ground I am on in here.
Looking east in the direction I came in from.
It drops off back into the hardwood swamp about 75 yards behind.
The depth perception sucks in these pics.

Hmmmm.....the man in the black pajamas....

Hope you have a good day and see the big one.

If not at least a lot of the other critters.

1 bar 4g lte.
Hit upload set down.
8pt walked thru 16 17 inch wide.....
Got a doe 15 yrds away hoof stomping me right now.

Fugging 3 of em 20 25 yards away.
Aint doe hinting

That looks good. Fortunately as Far East as I am with constant terrain features tacks are not always a necessity.
Glad the fort didn’t go the way of the DOE, they canceled the quota hunts I drew due to the wuhan flu... that sux

Fugging bytch blew at me 4 times.
Aint fugging killing her....
1st morning I been in here and it's early.
Seeing that buck about 15 mins ago is motivation to sit and see what comes thru.




Looking dead north .
Depth in pic sucks.
Can see down into hardwood swamp in alot of places 100 to 150 yards.

Looking south
Bout 75 yds away is the northern part of white oaks.

Im fugging covered up in does in here.
Set phone down to upload
3 more walked thru all heading west.

When the pre rut and rut hits in here and these bucks lose their minds . This place should be great.
Does are getting up to within 20 to 40 yds of me going by.
Leaves still on trees.
When they drop the visibility in here will be better.

stomach rejecting food and water

Foliage all still green down there ? We're just about full color here. Most brilliant fall colors I can remember this year.

Ditto. I'm assuming it's due to the drought.

Looking dead west.
Depth sucks in this pic.

100 to 150 yds vis down into hardwood swamp.
I dont do evenings.
But around 4 or 5 they will be coming back thru heading back east to KY corn fields and bait hunters about 6 700 yds due east off post from here.

Just seen 4 or 5 more does dead north thru the brush 150+ yds
Zip up the scope to 9x when I seen the 1st go thru.

This place is gonna be rocking during the pre rut and rut.

Did you hit the “Grunt, snort , wheeze” yet?


Always works on TeeVee for ole T-bone.

15” 7 point


Man.....you drive all the way from Grainger County and shack up at the Motel 6 and then pass that up

Cecil and “Cull Buck Hunter” would give their right nut

😂😂

2 tall inside the ears 6pts came thru.
To the north bout 100 yds out.

I mouth maaaaa at em.
They milled around curious for about 2 mins.
Then walked west.
I think i need to adjust my stand bout 50 yds north next time based on the movement thru here.
Get a little closer to the taper down into the hardwood swamp on the northern most part of the spine of this ridge.
So I can see into the flat into the east better.
Right now Im terrian masked somewhat on the west slope until they clear the spine into the flat.
Move north on way out.
Check for a spot on western slope where I can see over the spine better into the east

I have to get the backhoe tractor this morn.

With Mr MaGOO providing blinkie-light escort and trying NOT to get killed by Baptists hauling ass to “Penny’s Pizza” after the doors swing open

Mouth maaaaaa.
Works.

Stop em for a shot most times or slow em down for a shot.




I,m gonna hit area 50 tommorow.
People think that place sucks.

LOL!!!

LOL!!!
You would just be better off cruising it home by yourself.
Is penny,s pizza any good???? LOL!!!

I never been to pennys pizza, afraid someone like “lonee” might be there and might give me a judy-chop or vulcan nerve pinch

Check out my new hat

Gonna mind-fook the whitetails, put their little gray globs of ravioli at ease.

I,m gonna name my 220 "Black Death"...

Lol!!!

You know what I'm saying.....

TFF and too fugging corny.....
In mind and in what "champ" puts on the ground.

Champ said he passed up a spotted fawn yesterday

Must be gettin soft

There's a buck in my freezer I named "Hey, HEY!!!" The first day he came by chasing a doe I hollered "Hey", and he sped up. The second day I hollered "hey, HEY!!! and he checked up one last time.

Keep your texas steers laced up tall and tight, you seen that copperhead I steamrolled right?

I personally recommend a $500 pair of schnees for sitting on my ass, next to a tree

Damn, there are deer crawling all over the place in there. You've already saw or heard more there today than I will see or hear all season.

If around here, you go out for 2-3 hours and don’t see at least doe family within 100 yards, get up and go get the chainsaw and wake em up

Good looking spot you got there.

Watch you don't get run over.

LMFAO!

I got a fugging forky 15 yds away that wont go away.
And mr smart guy just noticed me..
And wants to get closer.

Pic of napolean forky dynamite.
Called him like a dog.
" Come here Boy"

Everyone else already moved thru earlier heading west
But the teenage delinquent forky is lost in space.
And headed south towards the white oaks.
But 1st he had ta take a big ole dump after eating soft browse for 10 minutes up here.

I was gonna play a vid for him.
Judas Priest
" green manalishi with the 2 pronged crown.
I bet he woulda stayed and rocked out to it.
LOL!!!

But I wanna stay till noon and see what happens.

They are doing online check in for deer this year.
They want bubba to give the kill bio data for em...

Pandora,s box when Tn and Ky ml and rifle open up.
They catch people all the time hauling deer off post to tag in the state.
For everyone they catch , probably 5 or more get away with it.
They need to do something to monitor the gates going off post from the back 40.
The only 2 in fish and game that seem to be physically working are the fed wardens.

Fugging C19 .gov worker schitt for all the others.
Get same pay in bunny slippers at the house schitt.

Was like this during spring turkey also.
Online pandora,s box schitt and I totally think it is fugging horseschitt.

I think the meat donation reefer van for joe is not happening also.

Dunno.

Statewide is now back to “tag before you drag” and need to pre print a paper tag

Ya I seen that.
Think smart phone tag rcd is good also.
The whole thing was confusing as fugg when I looked at it.
Gonna have ta read it all again before ml and rifle and unfugg my mind on it.

Fugging good idea fairy,s change the schitt every year to justify their revelance ( sp) in their jobs.
Then throw in stay at home computer work what did you do today or this week report schitt to higher.

Oh I did the 40 hr protocol put out by you guys.
When in reality all of know it takes 6 to 8 hrs to do it all in thst week.

Fugging C19 bullschitt being exploited to the max....

Not all .
But many.......

Work less for same pay pre c19 schitt on my tax payer nickel.

+1.


Quality has a price.

His hearing is 20/20

Looking back towards your scent trail normally only produces fawns

Pall Malls cover the alarming human scent

And beanie weenies?

I got tore the fugg up by skeeters on the way out thru the hardwood swamp going back to the truck.

Holy fugg....

Reminded me of brook trout fishing in maine about the 3rd week of may.

Had ones stuck in me killing others stuck in me.

Fugging sun warmed them little fugga,s up when I was walking out fast cause of em.
Was planning on still hunting back to the truck.
That plan went away fast when I came down of the higher ground.
I had ta get the fugg outta their.
Spooked 2 does on the way out.
Major deer tracks all over in the day light versus what I saw going in with a flashlight.


I need ta hit the area 30 spot on the trail I blazed going their.
Similar set up
White oak grove in the middle of a big patch of woods.
Cut trail goes thru about 200 yds of creek bottom briars then about another 200 thru a hardwood area before the oaks.

Getting in these spots in the dark and sitting down instead of still hunting em midday after staying at a easier access stand is better.
The other stands are good also.
But being in these new spots before the deer get their moving thru is worth it.
After what I seen this morning in 41 .
I'm pretty pumped as late mid to oct and nov approaches.
And the bucks start losing their minds slowly but surely.




Gonna buy 2 pairs of wally world rubber boots.
When that hardwood swamp starts getting drenched from rains gonna need em.

2 or 3 weeks ago when I made the trail their was 3 4 6 inches of standing water in it.
Today it was dried and squishy
mud stuff in places.

Slumlord walked thru it one time with me yrs ago.
Gets pretty knarly in their when it is wet.



500 dollar pair of boots.....
Is that a status thing or something???.
Bucks shove each other out of the way so you can shoot them
cause they know you have em on ???

Now that right there is funny.

Lol.

I dunno about status.

Common though.

Some dude’ll say he needs a pair of boots to go on a one time trip.

Folks will recommend those $500 boots. Whites. Walters. Ernies by the Masonic Lodge. Whatever.

Custom fit to your foot......

“Slumlord walked thru it one time with me yrs ago.

Is that where I took a dump and wiped my ass with those handwarmers?

You need to get a Thermacell for those mosquitoes.

$20

They really do work.

Two pair of Wally World rubber boots for when it rains??

Do you buy one pair 5 sizes bigger than the other so you can double them up?
