Stack em up during late t-zone (WI)….easy pickings…alot of deer coming to the fields this time of year, so you see alot of what is left and know what you’ve already taken…gives a better idea of how many should be shot yet.
Is there a pay-out????
Very nice!!
A little clarification….If you are looking for a 125″ – 135″….a great place. Want a 150″ + then go somewhere else, hardly anyone will pass a 3 1/2 with great potential, but will pass the 5 1/2 + that is only 125″ because he doesn’t score enough. I’ve seen one ligit booner in 20 years of hunting buffalo. Wish I were an IA resident, I would never hunt more than a few days of gun season for the camaraderie in Buffalo Co.
Ya it’s the dreamland alright…talk to someone who has lived there life down there, see how many booners their family has taken in 30 yrs. It is getting worse by the minute with out of state “hunters,” who will shoot deer that need just one more year or take an extra buck with a bow…all for the cost of an over-the-counter license without a drawing…overpopulated by non-residents and overpressured by most….
No BS, I got that picture in a text msg last year. Looks photo shopped….
I hear ya….the problem with pop-up blinds is that they fade, the poles crack & break, snow will collapse the blind and ruin it. All of the above are the problems we hate to have happen to our equipment that our hard earned money is spent on….and, if you do not want to spook deer, the blinds have to be left out for long periods of time prior to the hunt. Check out http://www.baleblinds.com These things are the ultimate hunting blind, the gallery on the site speaks for itself. I have hunted out of them and can say that you can set it out the day of a hunt, even if other famrmers hay bales are not in the area you are hunting, and have deer in close, without a care in the world that the ‘haybale’ is now there. Check it out, you wont be dissappointed!
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another…never seem to get it the way you want no matter what. Starting to take the fun out of it…might be a die hard musky fisherman soon, then maybe hunt a couple rut days.
I’ve been running mine less and less each year. Some deer don’t seem to mind them and others don’t like them at all. Makes it easier for me that one of my last Moultree’s just crapped out. I’ll wait now until a couple non-hunting breeding scrapes are opened to put a cam out again. For now, I have several velvet pics of decent bucks hitting the mineral in July / Aug.
I don’t like the change and hope it fails in legislation. A few reasons: 1) WI hunters don’t need any more bucks taken that what are now anually. 2) Muzz season was not meant to be the single shot rifle. 3) Then the WDNR will create a separate season with an additional buck tag. 4) cold temps + food = big bucks feeding during daylight, great, right?? until all your neighbors take advantage of it and kill every buck that was smart enough to make it though gun season, then whats left for next year. For gods sake, how many bucks does a guy need to kill in a single year.
Don’t want to get off on the wrong foot or make anyone mad, just strongly opinionated about this one.
