I'll be hunting in Mauston, WI. A friend has 250 acres consisting of swamps, fields and lots of woods. Nice part is there are only 3 of us hunting that land. I've been hunting there for about 6 years now. My friend and his dad have gotten some decent bucks there, but nothing monsterous, mainly 6-8 pointers. Does are pretty much a sure thing there.

I've seen a few bucks there, mainly small ones that I passed on. Had a REALLY nice 8 pointer walk up behind me (about 20yds from me) about 4 years ago. Never heard it and all of a sudden it was there. Tried to turn in the tree to get a shot, but snapped a branch and he was gone. [:@] Probably for the best cause it took my heart about 30 minutes to settle down. Probably wouldof had a heart attack if I would of shot it.

I'll be hunting this year with a .270Win, and i'll be carrying a .357 Magnum, for that really close shot. Starting to get excited as I gather up my gear. Season opens here on the 19th. I will only be hunting the regualr season, so hoping to bag one for the team.
