JT, Bubba & Friends Live From The Tree. Changes and Challenges V

[Jim Thompson]

Part IV is closing in on the 1000 post rule and yep I've got an unanticipated extra few days in a tree coming up so let's get part V started right now!

As always we've got folks all over the SE and Midwest trying to make sumn happen....even if it's only memories, which ain't a bad thing. Lots and lots of great deer have been killed this season!

As the title suggests, 2022 Live From The Tree has been riddled with Changes and Challenges for not only me, but many of us. Course that's the way everyday life is and we gotta do what we gotta do.

I got the call from my brother back on Saturday Nov 12 that momma had moved on. She'd been in bad health for a couple of years and dementia had fully taken her mind in the last year while she was living with my brother. We got her laid to rest this past Monday in a very small but perfect service. I know it's cliche, but yeah she's in a better place now. Thanks again for the literally hundreds of comments, texts, calls and private messages here, FB and IG. It's all appreciated.

I've also been running back and forth to work with a new position and for the 1st time in approximately 16 years I've worked a day in November. 1zt world problems I know, but it's been very strange.

John and Bubba will be in the woods a bit over the next week too, but we all know they ain't posting much and add to it that the IL farm has bad service, this may be more challenging than worth it, but I'm gonna give it a go!

Y'all be safe and have a blast tomorrow. My plan is to be in a tree Sunday afternoon at the latest.

Later

Good luck Jim, Bubba, and John. Everybody else too. I won't be back until sometime during 2nd firearm. Down in the FL. Panhandle with my lady currently trying to get some quality time. Managed to catch a few fish today too. Small but still beats working.

He’s about my son’s favorite at the moment
Very nice buck and that pic was taken 23 yards from Jimmy John stand … hopefully makes it thru … I enjoy the history with one as much as hunting them

Ochlockonee. We've got a little place just outside of Sopchoppy.

Going to try a mid morning hunt because I slept in a little lol.

 

[bulletjig]

Decided to just slow stalk up the hooch with the wind in my face and saw some movement on the other side of river so I froze and was just glassing because it’s not our property. Turns out to be a cow so as I was watching I hear a grunt and yeah 20 feet in front of me is a 8 and 7pt on a hot doe. They all 3 spot me but continue about their business like I wasn’t even there and when they started chasing again I see 2 more bucks joining in but couldn’t make them out. What a cool thing to see. Fixing to move up a little more.

Bilgerat, our place is 4 miles north of River Creek. We're seeing quite a few new scrapes the last week or so but haven't seen any chasing so far. My Granddaughter killed her first racked buck the day before Thanksgiving. Really proud of her she just started hunting by herself.

Moved up about 400 yards and grunted a few times he came trotting in. Midday action is on fire.

Congrats to the young lady Jimbar … well done !!!!
