LIVE from the stand 2025-26

The rut is over.

Uh?

Sitting almost every evening this week reminds me how much hunting the rut sucks. 99 out of 100 hunts you will get skunked or be in the wrong spot but like I told savannah tonight after getting skunked it only takes one hunt to change your luck and that's why we keep going back for more.

One good minute...will change your whole season!

Stay with it. The rut came early this year with the temps. We are in full lock down at my place. It changed in 2-3 days. All it takes is the right doe. There will be alot of hours in the stand but it will pay off if you have the motivation.

Packed and cleaned up this AM. Took a couple hours me time after running the 'leaving' checklist. Stogie and hot unpasteurized cider with a cinnamon stick on the deck under the heaters. Just like i used to make with my dad on the old farm. Down with the grandbabys in TN tonight. Mooch left mid-day yesterday.

Figured I'd give the winners in this round a nice prize. A bushel of appels & 50#'s of godlen acorns. Love autumn in TOO.

Life is good, God is great. I am grateful.

Good luck to all who are hunting. Looks and feels great out there today. Hope someone paints the ground red tonight.

Not much movement yesterday. Cams have been dead last 2 days , but they did get all the corn cut last night. Good luck everyone.

I'm in. Buck movement during the night was good. Walking in, there was a buck up ahead of me & two deer were already out feeding. I dunno howxi pulled that off.....good luck !

There's probably not a deer on this farm based on the cams the last few days. Not even sure why I'm out other than stubbornness and stupidity. At least I have some cool spots to sit and wallow in misery.

Because you love the process, not the end goal. Hope it's a relaxing sit.

I think I just held my breath the longest ever ...lol. The doe & fawn walked up to me & the the fawn got a whiff of me . It started running around, back & forth, but momma never caught on. Saving grace perhaps, the neighbor came out & left in their car. Mom probably thought that's what riled up the young'n. Today's youth are smarter than we realize ...haha
