Gun's loaded.  Fanny pack (yup I carry a fanny pack hunting) checked and double checked for powder, primer, boolits, tools, quick loaders, powder measure, and anything I may need.  Taking my dad out on his first muzzleloading hunt.  Just can't get to sleep.

Same to you and every body else,stay safe no matter if your hunting a stand or from the ground,reading some of the storys from other states could scare a man enuf to never hunt there

[Sidinman]

Well guess I went to bed to early, as I am awake and can't seem to go back to sleep.

 

Anyway 54 cal Renegade ready, and takin my 1858 44 cal revolver just in case one might give me a closeup shot.

Guess I'll go make coffee and a little breakfast.

Shouldn't have any trouble get out early enough, lol.

Good luck to everyone huntin this weekend.

It's a nice morning. Letting my buddy use my smoke pole so I am using my bow this morning.

Very windy in Wilson county this morning. Haven't seen anything except a doofus deer hunting with a shotgun who wanted to tell me guys life story.  Oh yeah and no orange, I'm done with WMAs that have road access after today.

[KahrMan]

Wait, are shotguns legal during muzzle loader?

Stopped at a little country store this morning and saw tons of Vols fans out. They must have a big game today. They sure are dedicated fans to be up this early, I bet it's gonna be one heck of a tailgate party.

Rainy here this morning. I had my rain gear, inline ML and everything ready, but I slept in instead. Oops. Going out this afternoon. Rain has slacked off at least Edited November 7, 2015 by Wingshooter

Umm, no.

[gregintenn]

Shot a coyote in the head first thing. I saw a couple of does up on a hill quite a distance away. The wind kept picking up steam, so I decided to come home. I don't like hunting in the wind.

[KahrMan]

It was quite windy this morning.

[Wingshooter]

Still raining here. I might do something else today and hit the woods on another day. I generally enjoy hunting in the rain, but I'm just not feelin' it today

[Bad_Bowtie]

Saw 6 deer between 630 and 830. Ended up killing 2 does and helped my buddy drag out his 8 point.

Worked till noon. Now heading out for my first time using a muzzle loader ever

They're playing games with me again! lol.

I went out pretty late this afternoon. I parked my truck by the barn and walked about 3/4 of the way up a large wooded hill on our land. I just sat down at the base of some trees and watched a well used trail. At the end of legal shooting light, I stood up and quietly walked back down the hill. As I reached the bottom, was still enough light for me to see the 2 fat does feeding just 30yds in front of my truck.

I guess I could have just sat in the tuck lol

They're playin' with me I tell ya :rofl:

If was past legal shooting time and not a safe shot angle with the road anyway, so they won this round. Edited November 8, 2015 by Wingshooter

Today I saw. 

-Groundhog

-red squirrel

-about a million turkeys

-coyote

-woodcock

and not a single dang deer except for when I was driving this morning to get there.  Just one of those not really good hunting days.

[rugerla1]

I didn't see anything but squirrels, and they were running around like crackheads! It was overcast and cool so I was really hopeful. Would have been pretty cool to kill a deer on opening day of ML the first time I've used one. But hey, I'm off all week. Only drawback is that I'll only be able to get in the woods around 830 each morning after I drop my daughter off at school. I'm not complaining though, I enjoy getting to spend time with her in the mornings. Maybe it will work out to my advantage and I'll pull in to my spot and there'll be a deer standing there waiting for me lol

Not sure if anyone will chime in but haven't seen much here by Sango, Clarksville area this year, have seen 2 road kills 1 was a biggen on Wilma Rudolf of all places. But as far as out here 5 miles south of the by pass have not seen much at all, gonna hold off till rifle season this year hope it starts to look better.

Still windy.  Can't remember what a deer looks like anymore.

[rugerla1]

I just missed a damn nice 8 pointer, my stomach is sick and in knots right now!

[Omega]

Seen a doe walking up a hill towards my neighbor's property line, used a bleat to call her back, waited until she presented a clear clean broadside shot, squeezed the trigger, and...well just a pop of the primer.  She didn't spook but by the time I replaced the primer she had gone into the brush.  Blackhorn strikes again, I may have to get some magnum 209s until I use up this 10oz can of it.

 

Edit for spelling and to add that though it's windy, it is one fine day for hunting.  Only seen two deer so far, the one above and one which spooked a few minutes later.  I have heard a few shots, including one from my neighbor's side which may of been the spooked one.
