We are near Stevens Point and the deer numbers are crazy high by us. The number of yearlings is surprising. I have taken two does already and passed 12 small bucks I can't get anything decent close so hopefully Saturday is different. The rut is pretty far along and with warm weather everything will be sitting tight I imagine.

Does this mean roundoak has his orange clothing hanging on the front porch? He's freshening up his boots in cow pies at this very moment. I think round oak lives on. I see a new guy posting and it’s all too familiar.

The DNR loves to give out tags for doe to private land owners. Too bad most do t shoot doe. We take 2 a year off of 200 acres and I haven’t seen an increase in doe numbers. I think all the baiting that goes on around us plays a part but we’ve also had an increase in bear and bobcat. Winter was awfully mild so it will be interesting to see how many doe are really around once they start getting bumped.

Heading out this morning Dean. I'll be in SW WI near Reedsburg, in the Driftless area. My son and I will be hunting the 95 acres I bought 2 years ago. We put up a couple Redneck blinds this spring, so we're hunting in comfort. I as actually hoping for some snow and colder weather, so we could test the insulation Got two free doe tags, but with all the nice bucks we have on trail cam I doubt we'll use them. Good luck to you all, and be safe out there. BTW Dean, I scored big on an auction the other day, and have another 257Wby on the way. Don't really need this one either
FÜCK Jeff_O!

260madman, no problem killin a doe. In fact, I'll do my best for at least 1 of the 8 tags. I'm down to 1 pound of ground and a couple steaks from last year.

Daughter [bleep] a small 8pt. She did not shoot the 8pt that had about a 17” spread with 9” tines. She was lost in space on that one for some reason. Still shaking my head. She used her AR in 5.56 with a 77 TMK at a bit more than 150 yards. Lungs were trashed and on the exit side there was a chunk of lung hanging out the hole. Easy and short blood trail to follow.

Opening weekend resulted in no deer, only saw 3 little dinks. Too warm? Not enough pressure around me to move deer around? Who knows. But it was nice being out there. Stand is in a cluster of bigger cedar trees, built a platform and put a school bus seat up in it, so, it's called the bus seat stand! Real original, I know! Lol! The meadow it overlooks, typically, has a lot of deer going through it and there's a few shooting lanes going through the cedars behind it. To the East and South, there's big ag, to the North, there's some really thick scrub that the deer love. To the West, is thick cedars. A Bald Eagle did show up and brought a murder of crows and ravens with it. The crows and ravens were SO loud, pretty much couldn't hear anything else for a while. It also didn't take me long to go through the PBJ samiches I brought along either! But I was out there from well before sunrise to after the Leupold Vari-X IIc couldn't see anymore. But I'm confident I'll end up with a doe in the freezer, just too many deer out there, just need to put in my time and be patient. Be safe and enjoy!
