Default RE: 35- Team "Nockdown" Official Thread

Well not much action this past weekend on the Wisconsin Opener. Had a doe and fawn come in Saturday night. Doe was 6 yards from my tree and only had to take 2 more steps to clear the pine she was under. Well the fawn screwed that up when he got behind me and saw me as I reached for my bow....blew out of there and took mom with. Only saw one small buck and that was it. The acorn crop is poor this year which is a big reason the deer weren't moving through the oak ridge I hunt. The last few years the acorn crop was great....the groundis usuallycovered like a carpet with them...not this year. Worst opener I can remember... Last few years I was covered up with bucks on opening weekend. Hopefully that will change when the farmers knock their corn down and push the deer back into the woods. There is currently oceans of corn on the surrounding farms which usually hold deer this time of year. Well now I will concentrate on pegging down a good buck in the swamps around my house. Thank god for the ThermaCell....these things work great at repelling the skeeters otherwise there is no way I would go into the swamps until after a freeze.

Good luck!
