9 day gun deer season began November 19th windy with gusts in the 40 mph range. Every camp member except for the cook was on a stand. First time in camp history no deer were shot opening day. The deer were definitely hunkered down. Some of the bucks shot throughout the season. Results of a couple Wisconsin deer drives. The exuberant fellow who shot the large buck said: "whackem and stackem". Sighted in my Marlin 336 30-30 with new to me, Hornady American Whitetail 150 gr InterLock. Works great...110 yards from hilltop down to valley floor. Buck was sneaking ahead of a drive. Missed the spine got lungs and broke right leg humerus. Made a 60 yard dash angling towards me, but died before I could see to shoot again.

Excellent. If you don't mind me asking, how many acres are you guys hunting?
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Seriously, some great bucks there. I assume they taste better in the farm country?

Each buck looks better than the previous one, all great deer. Looks like you've got quite a group of hunters hunting out of a picturesque camp in beautiful country. Congrats to one and all.
