Now it is! Thanks Covey! Listen guys, I am not going to change my avatar until my Dad has beaten stage 3 throat cancer. Lord willing, it will be over at the end of September, just in time for my October 1st opener. What a hunt that will be .... knowing Dad beat cancer...I can't wait...
My goals for this season , I will be hunting a golf course and the woods around the houses on the course , to help thin their deer herd down . I am in a group ( Back Yard Bow Pro ) that obtains properties to bowhunt and in return we process the deer into hamburger & sausage and then donate the meat to local food banks , kitchens , veterans homes , churches , etc . I plan on feeding some hungry people , I will also be in Ohio again for about 2 - 2.5 weeks bowhunting . Hope all here has a great season
Hoping to get my lawn care company shut down by about Oct. 1 this year again. I will be hunting northern WI during weekends until I shut the business down. Got a few good ones up there again. The one I included pics of is called 'Lucifer' and he'd look good on my wall. Once I get into October I go back and forth between IL and WI. Really looking forward to spending a bunch of time in the tree this fall. Couldn't figure out how to center my sig pic, I'm basically computer illiterate so if someone could spell it out better for me it would be greatly appreciated. Prayers out to your dad Tony!
In the sig line editor, where you see the text for your image, put center in brackets ahead of and /center in brackets at the end of. Will look like this [ CENTER][/CENTER ]
Well my season out look is gonna look the same as it usually does. Except I won't be able to hunt opening day here in Wi and probably won't be doing much hunting in September do to warmer weather and the bugs. I'll probably go hot and heavy into deer hunt around early to mid October. From there on I'll be doing a lot of deer hunting but will also be doing a lot of duck hunting also.

Killing a 100 plus inch buck on the spot I hunt is challenging. I saw one maybe 130 plus last and had him in range but couldn't shoot. I saw another 110 inch or so buck in the same general area. Best of my knowledge they both survived. I scouted hard this year in the snow and gleaned a ton of information.
I'll be hunting long weekends and occasionally after work in Northern WI(Rhinelander) until late October. I then have two weeks of vacation to pick and choose through the rest of the season. I'll be making at least one trip down to Vernon Co, where I've been very successful the past 3 years, Shooting two of my biggest bucks to date. I don't get down there as often since I moved from Stevens Point up to the Northwoods. I was very picky last year, but will not be as picky this year, based on the properties I will be spending most of my time on. Still looking for mature bucks, just not Mississippi River Valley caliber. Can't wait for the season to start
Mostly private, I may put some time in on a piece of public up near Exeland in northern WI. A buddy has a 20 acre plot surrounded by thousands of acres of public land up there. Everything is looking good for this season. Good luck guys.
Have my vacation set for Nov. 6th - 15th. That's 113 hours of legal hunting time, right now I plan on using every second of it if that's what it takes. Reality says I will have a day or two off with either piss poor winds or sething of the like, always happens. But I will hunt, and I will kill. I also have Halloween weekend requested off. IL sucks for anything else, but glad I live here during deer season.
Well one buck from last year has survived and shown back up on one property I hunt. Last year he was showing up on camera all the time and watched him all season. This year he has gotten quite a bit bigger sorry for the pictures I took them with my phone off the computer first pic is this year second and third are last year. I believe it to be the same buck
So we got good news that a good family friend just purchased a chunk of land that boarders ours up north so its lookin like if we combine it all together we will have over 700+ acres to hunt! The down side is the marsh is really wet this year even with it being so dry this past month my only hope of getting to acouple of my favorite stands will be with the use of waders! Goin up this weekend to help set up acouple of stands and hang some trail cameras! Now we can access our land with a tractor so we can plant food plots on the rest of our property and our friends! Because before we could only plant 2 small plots on one side of the creek because it is to wet an to thick to clear a trail through the low lands area that surrounds the creek! And once we cross the creek it is to steep of a ridge to take a tractor up the property our friend bought has a old logging road that is usable to get a tractor into our property!
