It's opening weekend of the archery season in Tennessee. I didn't get to go yesterday (Sat) because of other obligations. But I'm out here today and ready to rock.
Didn't see anything but turkeys this morning and busted about a dozen in the middle of the trail coming in this afternoon. I'm sitting back in the woods off the edge of a bean field and pond. It's a little warmer than expected today but should be a good spot.
I am setup facing a well used trail that leads to the field. The wind is in my face and it is a perfect setup. I have high hopes for a close encounter of the venison kind.
The wind is really blowing hard. Looks like I'll be keeping my shots close if I get one. There are a bunch of crows raising cane in the field. With all of the noise, I won't be able to hear anything coming. This front was supposed to be gone by now. Oh well, that's hunting. Lol.
The end of the day:
Well the day is over. I didn't have any luck but did see a lot more turkeys. It would be nice if they would stay where they are until the spring but it never happens that way.
I did find a few more stand locations and I'm set up pretty good for the rest of the season. I feel like this year is gonna be a good year.
I also found out I'm no longer alone during bow season anymore. I guess that since the farms around the management area have changed from pasture to soybeans this year, it is becoming a little more popular. It's still good that most people don't like to walk and it's about a mile to my stand so I shouldn't run inti too many people.
Well there's always through the week and there are plenty more weekends and the season is just getting started. So here's to a great season and plenty of meat in the freezer. Later y'all.
