made it out today, dead once again. I think it has to do with all the standing corn. I dont think they even have 10% harvested here in southern wi yet. I did get some pix of a decent buck finally! I am hitting it hard after wed, buring 2 vacation days. Havent see any pre-rut activity as of yet.

Heading out for a five day hunt in Kansas tomorrow. With a little luck, I'll have one for the team. Haven't had the opportunity to spend much time in the stand at home, so have to leave town to get on a deer. Anyhow, hope Nov brings you guys success. See you when I get back.

Good luck in Kansas. I was out yesterday and just about got blown out of the tree....IfI wore a hair piece I'd be out a few hundred bucks!

Hey guys, how's everyone's season going so far? I've been pretty busy, so I haven't been on here in a while, but I wanted to check in.
Got a nice doe last week. Went back out that evening and had a fork horn walk out in front of my pop up, and just stand there looking into the brush for a couple minutes. I was wondering "what the heck is this deer looking at" when all of sudden I seen a huge rack rise up over the brush. Suddenly the fork horn did a 180 and was gone. I got a good look at the buck, and he was definitely a shooter, but unfortunately I had no ethical shot on him. Apparently he was in there tending a doe, because a few minutes later they came out together and ran back into the swamp.
I've been seeing a lot of rut activity with bucks chasing does, so things are definitely heating up!
Good luck to everyone.

Back from Kansas with a buck in tow. 141 6/8ths. To be honest, he's a great deer but a bit young, 3.5. The hunt was Friday morning. It was 45 degrees and the bucks were running does pretty hard. I had a few small bucks come in and run does and at 7:10 this boy came in and showed his dominance. I judged him mature and approximately 150", so when the opportunity presented itself, I placed a perfect arrow quartering away through the heart. He ran 40 yards and expired. Once I got down, I felt a bit of remorse. He was younger than I made him from the stand and his beams were also on the short side. We taped him out and came up with the gross score. A great hunt no matter what. Weather and the full moon were a big factor in deer movement so I feel fortunate to harvest a great buck.
