    Im hoping to get out this weekend too. I was thinking about trying public land, like Kettle Moraine. Do you know anything about that area?

    funny, I used to hunt that area in the Palmyra area. What part of kettle are you talking, northern or southern?

    Congrats again on the bear Ryan! Always fun to shoot a new species of animal.

    We're ahead of schedule on the squash harvest this year, so it looks like I may get out to hunt this weekend. I have no idea what's around at the cabin this year, as I haven't been up there much. I'll check the cams and probably just sit over a food plot. If I don't see any good bucks around I may shoot a doe if the opportunity presents itself.

    Last year we had a ton of great bucks around, but this year the fields aren't growing as well. We probably had 5 bucks over 140" on cam after gun season and I found a few of their sheds. I know of one hanging around for sure, Nixon. I'm sure more will show up though soon.

    Here's Nixon this year...

    Here's a pic of him from last year as a 9. I figured he would put on quite a few inches as I think he was a 3 year old last year. Maybe he was 4. Hard to tell.

    The man is keeping me down!!
