Sunday was the last day of the season for the Tennessee area and it has been an interesting one at that. I started well before daylight hiking the side of this ridge, found my lucky tree I saw deer in last time and started to climb. I stopped about thirty feet off the ground, got all my gear up, and began my wait. I had planned on hunting from daylight to dark, I wanted the best chances I could have on killing my first deer on the Chickamuaga Lake until this happened. I've always heard dogs barking far off from where I was hunting and never thought much about it until Sunday when they sounded like they were moving in the woods. I followed the sound of their bark from the other ridge as they went from my right to my left and I thought surely not. I waited and waited and here they came. They had found my scent from where I came in at and followed it right to my tree stand even though I had washed my boots off in the lake before I started hiking. I was treed at 14:45 needless to say my hunt was over so I climbed down gave them a pat on the head and started my hike back to the boat. Even though I didn't kill a deer this year, there is more hunting season to come and as they always say there is always next year.
 
Regardless of a kill(s) any season is successful to have the opertunity to get outdoors. T3 you have had a good season. The last day of the season on the stand is a good time to reflect back the events of the season. I took my grandson out and we sat on the stand for awhile and then had to stomp around a bit just enjoying quality time together in the outdoors. We discussed what was accomplished this season and what we hope will happen next weekend on the juvenile hunt. He was with me when I harvested 4 of my 7 deer this year. Now it is his turn if he can handle the cold temps that are in the forecast. Congrats to all that had a enjoyable season!
