JT, Bubba and friends Live From The Tree 2019. A year of highs and lows III

[Jim Thompson]

Enjoy your Thanksgiving people. Just like season, you never know how many are left so you gotta make the best.

See y'all tomorrow with a plan

It’s a comfortable 50 degrees this morning. Doing my traditional Thanksgiving Hunt. It’s our gun opener, and unless I had to work, been doing this my whole adult life. 35 years now. Have taken a buck on 2 thanksgivings in that time. So far, two 4 points strolled through a while ago. Identical horns, must be twins. Y’all have a good day, and be thankful for everything.

I hunted this morning on the lease and saw 5 does and a spike. Back on stand now on the food plot behind my house- bow in hand.

How much is the fine for hunting your own property , without license?

Is there such a thing?

 

[139dixiepie]

No more deer since the does early. Sun feels great right now!

Nice view from the tree.

We're north of Chattanooga with about 7 hours to go. I sure was glad to see the 12 pt. made it through the first shotgun season!

Wow great looking deer Tomboy

JT y’all still working on a plan?

JT y’all still working on a plan?

Just got to Z Farm in MO. Turning the place back on and making a supplies run. We have a day or 2 of work and bad weather to deal with and then should be about a week of solid hunting to finish it up.

We start the ride to Kansas tomorrow.

We'll be hunting next Wednesday!!

1st morning and afternoon sit I have had this year that I didn’t see a deer.

 

[Jim Thompson]

Been a hard steady rain all night and should be steady until around lunch. Gonna wait it out and make a decision on stands. Gotta run a few hours north tomorrow to pick up a blind. Be a good day for it since the strong winds will be here. After that should be 5 or 6 days of good hunting.

I'll probably start a new thread this afternoon as well. Good luck in the woods boys

Have they cut any of the corn JT?

JT I just got caught up on all 3 threads. I read everyone of them each year but forgot to post in them while hunting. Man you are one dedicated and tough dude to hunt that hard and long!! I don't know how you do it day in and day out man. As I get older I find myself not being nearly as dedicated as I once was. I still love it but miss home more and more each year.

I wish you and Bubba the best of luck on round 2. Hopefully a sweet Midwest beast will make a mistake. You definitely deserve a good one for your effort!!

If I can remember I'll try to do a little posting on the new thread during Illinois 2nd shotgun season. I still have a Illinois shotgun tag left in my pocket. I've punched my Kentucky tag and Illinois archery tag already on a couple decent ones.

Good to hear from you Squeaky! Sounds like you've had a great season. Good luck closing it out

 

[Havana Dude]

No action on this thanksgiving weekend opener. A couple 4 point twins seen thanksgiving a.m., and only a coyote since then that gave me the slip, no shot given. Our season is split, they give us 4 days at thanksgiving, gun opener, then close for 2 weeks. In between we can ML, and archery. I’ll take advantage of that a few days, but activity has been nil lately. Our rut hits around Christmas, so I’ll be hard at it then. I’ll echo the others JT, you deserve at least a shot at a goodun for your efforts. Good luck!!

It's been miserable weather the past couple of days but being in the woods in Illinois is nothing to complain about. This morning was rain and thunderstorms while sitting in a box blind to stay dry. This afternoon was the foggiest I've ever seen and getting progressively worse the later it got. Tomorrow we have rain, sleet, and snow forecast with 20 plus mph winds and gusting even higher. Wish us luck! These were my views 2 hours before dark.

Be safe in that stuff and kill a giant!

 

[Jim Thompson]

We are up and running north to pick up a blind. Winds are brutal today with gusts up to 45 and sustained over 20, so we ain't missing much. Hard to sling an arrow in it ?.

Be back in the AM from a tree. I'll start us all a new week long thread to close things out.

Be safe and have a blast
