Moving this morning

[cecil30-30]

Or atleast where I'm at. 3 does just came through. 5 mins later this little 6pt come through grunting hot on their trail. Finally caught up to them and started chasing them.

Let my wife go this morning. I sat on the back porch just listening while drinking coffee. She has already reported back seeing several does.

Heard a single shot one minute before legal light.

Only thing moving here was a yote, and I ended that for him.

[poorhunter]

Only thing moving this morning for me was ME. First time ever with a muzzle loader, and when I got into my stand I realized I forgot my caps Had to walk the half mile back to the house and get them and then back to the stand. Didn't get settled until 630, and need to climb down by 8, so it has to happen pretty quick toda.

 

[cecil30-30]

3 more does and a spike. Looking for big daddy

 

[BLOODTRAIL]

Seen 6 so far. 2 old does, 2 little ones, a button buck and a nice 8. Daughter couldn't get on the 8, unfortunately.

 

[DMD]

Cameras are active.... different spot then I'm hunting, of course. I've seen one small spike. But, I'm hunting a brand new spot on public land and i made enough noise to wake the dead walking in. Just thick and gnarly. Hoping for more sightings as the morning moves along.

 

[Ski]

So far it's been an amazing morning with my daughter. She begged to go. She slept for the first hour in the blind. Had a group of does come through with a spike and then a great 8. She was sore excited. And so was I. Rushed the shot and total miss. We decided to sit for a bit longer and the same 8 came through. With another 8 and a small 6. So far we have seen more deer today then I've seen in a long time in one day. All the bucks have been chasing.

 

[stickler]

Slow for me on the east side. Only heard one shot.

 

[SC Manimal]

A fee does hanging around most of the morning. Very few shots in Rhea Co. Wind keeps shifting but does don't seem to care if I'm here or not.

 

[rem270]

5 bucks and 12 does so far here. All the bucks were chasing or looking for something to chase.

To make you feel better I snuck into a tough spot to get in last week and thought I left my bow in the truck. Turned around and walked all the way back to my truck and realized it was strapped to my back pack.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Wife has been watching does and fawns all morning. She just saw her first buck at 9, 2.5 or possibly 3.5 year old chasing a doe.

 

[DoubleRidge]

Seen 4 does, spike, same six point twice,8pt and a nice 9pt....all bucks were chasing or trailing with nose on ground....one chase was very vocal...crashing through thicket...gonna try to sit tight....getting several local reports of chasing....northern middle.

I'm hunting in Rhea county as well. I've heard maybe one or two shots at the most. I just moved to Rhea county recently, so hunting here is brand new to me. Good luck.

 

[tree_ghost]

My target keeps giving me the slip…I've never hunter a buck that had my number more than this one…it's like he has me on a GPS or something….geez!!!

Not sure what kind of MZ you have but either get a pouch that will hold a speed loader and caps that velcro to the side of the MZ or get a possible bag that you throw on you when you head out.

I have a pouch that has a little pocket on the cheeck rest of my MZ. It holds a speed loader and a couple of caps case I drop one.

I also keep a couple of extra speed loader in my day pack. Happy Hunting

Dead where I am in Sequatchie. Haven't heard a single shot yet. And seen nothing. And as far as moving shortly it will be me towards the outhouse.

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

Saw 3 bucks this AM. One was a shooter just out of range. Had 7 doe come in at 7AM right under my stand and hung out for awhile.

They definitely coming In to some gentle rattling.
