thanks for the replies i got a thursday and friday off of school so im going to hunt then. The late season stuff is a yes a will definitly be in there after rifle season. I would think that any good hunter would get into a spot before 4 when it gets dark at 5:30 and i see deer chasing at noon.

the dementions were like 5 by 6 we used roofing nails to attach the rolled roofing. We had the platform from are old tree fort and a lot of 2x4s and we did alittle dumpster diving. I think we probebly put around 150 into it maybe alittle less. the rolled roofing cost the most it was like 60 or 70 i think. It was not hard to build at all my dad bought the stuff and i built it in sections.
we assembled it when we got up there.

nice looking stand hear is one i built for my grandpa 2 years ago the deer dont seem to mind it and with the rolled roofing on the sides it should last awhile

Now you are talking like we talk in my probability and stats class.lol

its halloween for me to mostly cuz it is my b day and i shot my frist deer ever a day before it. That was just enough of a present for me.

Went up on the youth hunt to sit with my cousins me and my brother took turns bow hunting. We end up getting 1 small doe sry no pics. My brother hit one with the bow but i think he hit it 2 far back and could not find it. I saw a couple the only one that came into bow range was way to small to shoot. Weather was really warm in the afternoon and the skeeters got bad. All in All we had fun we will get back after em and my brother will keep trying to get his first with bow. Hey u get some and lose some i went through the same thing. Goodluck the rest of the season everbody

nice deer and dont worry about him being field dressed in the pic its nothing we havent seen before

Great job! I was out friday night after school with my brother and cousin and for only my third time out we made three sets and I called in three yotes my cousin shot at two but missed I should have just shot the one but being a good cousin I let him shoot. I would hunt more sets but when your 17 you do not have much of a choice if you can stay out all night or not. I hope to at least one this year.Good luck to all.

Thanks for the advice and answers I was out deer hunting and decided to try calling before I left within 5 minutes I had one come in and just as you guys said he circled downwind and I lost track of him but at least I can get them to come in thanks again.

went out for the first time ever with my brother,cousin and sister. We called for a while with a distressed rabbit call and then waited for about 40 minutes and we were cold so went walking on are way back we shined our first spot and about fifty yards behind where we were sitting there was one standing looking at us never got a shot off,how long do you normally sit before you move and what calls do you use and how long do you use them any tips greatly apperciated.

Me,my uncles and grandpa just sold some coon in southern wisconsin all i have to say is i did not expect for prices to be as low as they were we sold 1 at 12 dollars and the rest were 3 to 7 dollars. I did have one rat caught in a coon set and got 4 dollars for him. This is my first year setting a line beside for some cage trapping in previous years with my grandpa but I am not going to let low prices slow me down.

congrats on your first deer it sounds like you had to work pretty hard for it to. The first one was the toughest for me but it is something that you will never forget. Hunting is a great sport and I hope that you will never give it up.

we did pretty good on the youth hunt 3 of my cousins each got a doe pretty small but for 2 of them it was there first. My brother and my other cousin saw a few small does but let them past. I was bowhunting and saw 7 does and two small bucks could have shot 2 does but they were just yearlins all in all pretty good weakend.

I am going up for the youth hunt with all my cousins and my brother and your dads last year was my last year with a rifle so I will be bowhunting I hope to at least put meat in the freezer so then I can just relax the rest of the season and wait for a nice buck.

I have had deer come in the same day also nothing big mostly does. I think that they come in to see what all the nosie was all about.

very nice buck and congrats. now i need to shoot me a buck like that

If it was alfalfa he probaly will not cut again you usally only get 2 or 3 cuts and it is pretty late in the year for another cut.I don’t know if i would abandon the set just yet you may never know unless you try.

This will be my frist year doing a line. I have done some barn trapping and set some live traps for coon but i just went through trapper edu. and I am going to run a line with some 160s and footholds.I am also going to try to catch some rats

We had a very good season are group of 10 took 9 deer only one buck which was a 8 point. I did not get out early season bowhunting but i am going to try it late season. Good job to everybody that got a deer and for those of you that didn’t there is still the doe hunt and bowhunting.
