This time of year is hard to beat. Deer hunting and high school football.
A little windy this morning but I am sitting in a ground blind hoping a mature, blind, nasal congested buck ambles by. Been an unusual year - vary warm and lots of small bucks but very few does.
While I’m waiting for that buck I am getting ready for the next round of high school football My team is preparing for basketball season but there still many good matchups to consider.
I am losing confidence every day, so any hunters out there - tell me a good story!!!

Went yesterday afternoon. Had put half a bag of corn out two days ago because son might hurt over Thanksgiving. Got card out of camera and got up in stand. Started looking through pictures on viewer. Saw something out of corner of my eye and four does came prancing by and went straight to little corn that was left. Returned to looking at the 315 pictures that it took in those two days. Got a nice young ten point I’ve never seen before. And apparently there was a 7 point who was out there five minutes before me yesterday.
He never showed last evening and does blew at me when I got down.
How’s that for a story?
It’s all us old guys can do.
Nothing but bucks on our side of the interstate high way
I am still hunting and it’s been a parade of young bucks this morning- 5 in all.
That’s a good story. My friend in Greensboro was hunting the other day and got down at 830 for the call of nature and a big 10 showed up on his camera an hour later.
Still hoping……..
Sounds familiar. Lots of bucks but does seem to be less in numbers. Been dwindling last couple years. Went to Willis,Va yesterday evening. Not much confidence since hadn't had much on camera. Didn't see anything but camera had lots of small bucks, one good buck, 3 does and one huge bear. That bear has not missed any meals.
Hey Kidd, scored big time on a 10 I’ve been after for a few years last weekend
You know if you can figure out how to post pics I would love to see him!!!
Not really. I've read on here some people said if you have Tweeter or Tik Tack or some other online stuff you can post from it I think
Well today gentlemen is a reminder to me why we call it hunting. Been in a tree since 5:30 this morning and all I have seen is the squirrel parade. First time this season I haven’t at least had a doe or two come say hello.
It’s ok though. Was a great morning spent outdoors!!!

Lot of wind? 15-25 sustained up here in Ashe County. Noticed on the cameras that my neighbor came in about 5:30. Pretty accomplished fella with fire stick. And a helluva nice guy.
We are getting wind gusts as strong as the winds we got in Hurricane Helene and all night and morning so far. 40 to 50 mile gusts my guess.
Anybody got any leads on some decent public land up around Boone? My son is out there working disaster relief so unfortunately he's gonna miss deer season here at home.
I gave him my onx login and told him to drag out his walking boots 😂.

@wncbowhunter this is meant for you but anyone else is welcome to comment or whatever.
Don’t usually hunt on Sundays because well, daddy wouldn’t have but been windy and busy around here so set alarm and decided to head out this morning. As I headed to truck at 5:15 there were deer in my yard. One blew at me. Plan changed and I decided to hunt stand here at my house. Around daylight five does decided they were no longer afraid and wandered by at about 60 yards. Well that was interesting but…
Around 7:15 I heard another deer fighting his way past the squirrel army. Finally steps out at about 50 yards and it’s the 10 point I’ve been after this season. At 7:30 as I stood over him I did indeed think of you sir. I’m sorry for everything you and those you care about have endured. I hope that my little tale was as interesting to you as it is to me.

Congratulations kidd. Weather is definitely much better today. Never like hunting in wind or rain.
Same. Too old. Also never seen big deer moving in wind
First, Congratulations. Second thanks for the kind words. Hope to get a couple days in the woods this week. But who know. All I know is I am thankful for all.
Go Mountaineers
Well, I woke up Sunday mornin'
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I warshed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
Johnny Cash… “Sunday morning coming down”
Go ahead! Kidd🫵
