Live from the stand 2023

[backyardtndeer]

Absolutely beautiful morning here is West Tennessee. Weather peeps said it was supposed to be windy, but it's really pretty calm. The forecast wnw wind would have been mostly at my face down here in this bottom. I should have hunted a different stand. Don't know that we have any good bucks around, but still trying to kill coyote number 7.

Hunting a farm for the first time. Got permission last year but didn't get to hunt it. Big thicket on the back side. Cows and donkeys have the run of it. Never know. Hunting alone. Loading atv back on trailer and raising the trailer gate may be a work out. Winds are gusting and switching. Missing the comfort of a shooting house. Beautiful place here. Sleeting now

I am in an elevated stand this evening just holding on and hoping the wind dies down…

Amen!
I know for a fact that yotes will eat cantaloupe as well. The first time I was told that by my neighbor I really didn't believe him.
Dagburn suckers will resort to any method to survive.

I have killed a few that were coming in picking up pears from under the pear trees I have planted. Man I used to buy hay from told me they would eat his watermelons. I don't think there's much that a coyote won't eat.

Looks nice and thick, where the monster bucks hide.

Out this morning. Been watching a couple of spikes. They finally found them a young doe to chase around. Beautiful morning, slightly frosty with temps about right.No 30 mph wind.

Have my son back out again, hoping for some late season luck.

I love seeing the moon while walking out after an evening hunt!

Deer movement had been pretty poor here the past two weeks or so, hoping for an early Christmas gift for my son this morning. He is pretty frustrated with not seeing deer, but the past two mornings I have asked if he wanted to go and he jumped out of bed and said yes.

Merry Christmas Y'all

Haven't seen the 2023 Live from the stand thread this year so maybe we can get this pinned to the top.

Crazy that I ran the heat in my truck most of the week but this morning it's muggy as all get out.

Either way deer season is in and life is good.
