Its that time again. We are rolling through TN right now. Should be there around lunch and maybe just maybe in a tree this eve although its raining up there right now.

This year me, bubbabuck and May are joined by qturn and later in the week jeff phillips and redtail. We are here bow hunting till next friday and then 3 days of smokepoles!

The weather and the rut should be PERFECT!!! Calling for 20's and 40's everyday and the bucks are chasing right now!

Keep checking back here and we will give updates in real time straight from the tree. Later

Jim,
You're killing me Why don't you just rub it in? Guess what I'm doing this weekend? Thanks to my wife, I'm putting together a house for the cats to live in on the deck.

well for the first time in possibly the history of man we have decided to not go out until after the rain moves through. everyone is asleep now except me...man sure would be nice if I could sleep

was pouring this AM and the wind is LITERALLY 30+ mph

that just dont work for archery.

either way we will get at it about 9AM which is when it looks like the rain will move out. wind will be with us for the day though.

see yall after light, I gotta fix my 10th cup of coffee

 

[Buck]

Man, I hate that for ya Jim... Is this the same place ya'll hunted last year?

 

[Jim Thompson]

yep same place as several years now...btw when this wind and rain leaves today the temps will be 20s and 40s and light breeze (yeah righ) the rest of the time we are here!

we rode around at dark last night and didnt see hundreds like normal, but did see some very very fine deer including a mid 140's 8 with a doe and then several bucks over 125-130 in one field with does AND a massive massive massive beast that never stepped out to give a good look

Hey jim,
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for gallatin co and i cant wait to get up there. Do y'all go thru marion ky and take ferry across the ohio? Thats generally the way i go. Glad to hear the rain should be moving out today. It ought to be good mid morning when y'all go to the stand. Anyway, Good luck and save one of those gallatin co monsters for me. Wishing y'all safe and successful hunting!!

 

[BPR]

Just a thought, but it might be those 10 cups of cofee keeping you up. Just an idea.

Good luck this morning. Keep us posted.

It was 70 here this morning.

I dont sleep much with or without the coffee

rain is still on top of us, wind still 20-30. gotta wait on the rain to lay and then guess we will head to a tree....in a deep deep hole

 

[Redneck Maguiver]

Man, after that much coffee, are you even gonna be able to sit in a stand for long??

Get one a big one JT.

[dutchman]

Windy down here, too, JT. Good luck on your trip!

 

[Jim Thompson]

rain is still here and wind is not supposed to go anywhere. we will get at it as soon as the rain stops

 

[Jim Thompson]

Have I mentioned how much I love IL?

Rain is gone wind is howling but Im in a hole that is keeping it down. Sitting in a 20ft ladder in a brush choked ravine called lil texas. Have been in for maybe 15 mins when 4 does slipped by. Then a very tall 120 2yr old 8 came by@ 25 yrds! I played with hiom. Few minutes with the can and am now settled in fior the ee. Will check in as I can.
