    Dead calm in here this morning. I bumped several on my way in. Pretty sure they weren't bedded down either. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

    Good luck yall.

    Out with my middle son for youth weekend. We are set up off of a doe bedding thicket. Three does crossed the road in front of us as we pulled in to park.

    Good morning folks. It’s opening day of muzzleloader here in TN. I’ve heard one shot so far, but overall, it’s quiet.
    Had an absolute perfect broadside shot at a monster 27” one sided forky, figured I’d give him another year.
    I woke up with a headache again, so annoying, but I’m going to stick it out as long as I can. Hopefully the caffeine in my coffee does the trick.
