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

- Start date
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.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 capsHad 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.

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.

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.

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.Only thing moving this morning for me was ME.

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.

I think overgrown fields mowed maybe once a year are better than any good plot , great looking place
I've had real good luck with this one. I bushhog it once a year right before green up in late March. The deer use it alot. There is alot of browse for them.

I saw a lot of action in eastern middle TN.
1 mature buck was right on a hot doe. 3.5 8 pt came in to investigate and he ran him off. Saw one other 2.5 8pt and several spikes.

Great morn in east tn
I jumped the 8 point I've been hunting about 45 minutes ago. He was bedded with a big doe. He was about 350 yards from where I saw him last Saturday morning. Well, I hate jumping a mature buck but, at least I know he's still breathing and hasn't took a truck tide.
Only saw one spike in Rhea county. Heard maybe one shot. Been slow lately.
