    In Wisconsin with my brother after shooting my buck here last weekend. I cannot shoot another buck, but hope he slams a big one.

    Congratulations to Kili and Slugger on awesome bucks...lets keep the ball rolling boys.

    Much warmer thank I was expecting this morning 28 instead of the teens with a delightful splash of snow on the ground...paint the forest red my friends!

    Checking in, same tree as last night. Got out of the truck to see this sucker headed overnight into the parcel I'm at from corn across the road. For comparison, I can palm a regulation men's basketball

    In ground blind. I normally don’t hunt in these unless it’s raining but with my decoy and this wind it was best setup. We will see

    Up and ready to head out but have the shotgun today. Hoping my 6 month pregnant wife gets a crack at a deer!

    I'm sure I missed it on here, but did you ever find your buck the other day?

    Juat had a buck trot through. Maybe 10 yards from base of tree. Just light enough could see antlers through binos when hes stopped at 30 yards. Man 15 more minutes and woulda been light enough to shoot. Got the heart pumping tho

    Exciting. 2 does and 2 fawns drop over this hill I'm looking at and 2 does come running back up it. 5 minutes later another atop the hill.

    Totally new spot and a bit of a geographical pinch.

    Just need them a few yds closer,. 40 through some trees was their closest. Over yonder...

    Thats awesome! Good for you, you'll have permission for a long time while a lot of people complain they can't get permission anywhere
