Our 2nd Gun season starts tomorrow morning.
We're finally getting to feel like deer season....NOAA's National Weather Service site for our area sez: 90% chance of snow Saturday with the corresponding temps that go with it....a bit early for snow here (Jan& Feb is our cold time) & it'll be back to 45-50°F after this front quickly passes, so it won't be white long. Season lasts through the 6th.
My #2 son will be up today (only a two hour drive from Memphis) to be ready for the mornin' His Supervisor, Department Manager and their teen age sons are coming this afternoon too to get their campers set up.

So far, ours winter storm is only rain (lot of it, too) but the temps are fallin'; fast, could turn fluffy ant time now. Sure hope it don't get too bad for our northern neighbors.
Could hunt 'em out the kitchen window, on days like this. It overlooks a field 100yds below the house, lol. Never have though, I like watchin' 'em too much, very peaceful start to the day when they mosey through while I'm drinking my morning coffee, so I leave 'em be near the house.

Well that's it for Saturday, all this rain kept them bedded down I'm sure,..... they were movin' a lot yesterday stockin' up before the storm. Nothing passed their stands today.
So, no joy today. But, the evening fellowship's more than worth it.
Rain's stopped now, callin' for up to a half inch dusting overnight, so we'll see how they do tomorrow. |

The Saturday fellowship included cookin' up some tenderloin that the "big" boss, lol, brought with him from a huntin' trip to his family's farm in Oklahoma a few weeks back, was a good incentive, 'cuz.....
Sunday turned out to be a whole lot better for Chris (our #2 son) and his guests. The rain had all moved out & the "white stuff" never did materialize. The wind did pick up though during the morning session, a breezy 20mph, gusting to 28-30...brought the ambient 30°F to a wind chill of 18F up in the swaying stands, glad they didn't get seasick, lol. The wind died down almost completely for the afternoon hunt & it was quite a pleasant deer hunting temp of 38F.
The "bosses" each got a doe in the mornin' & Chris got a nice size buck 'bout dusk as seen in the pic below:
All in all, a nice finish to a weekend that started out so dubious, weather-wise.... and a great outing for those stuck in the concrete jungle 5 days a week. Not to mention all the good eatin' ahead for them, oohhh yeah.

Chris went straight home after visiting the check-in station, so I had to wait 'till his e-mail today to find that the field dressed buck weighed in at 204 pounds.
Niiice.
