Well saw two bucks last night. The bigger of the two stayed just out of range but he was tall and had visible G2's,3's, & 4's. Mass didn't seem too impressive and never had a good look at the width. I wasn't real impressed, but who knows with a better look he may be bigger than I thought. Hopefully I will get another look at him come Saturday.

I went out this afternoon - the first hunt of the year helps me sort out all the bits and pieces, lol. I only forget my binos. I had 2 does and 2 fawns in range, but a wind shift put them on alert and I passed up the shot opportunity. I hope to get out tomorrow afternoon.
Good luck with opener's luck Mottz!

Had a couple does within 10 yards of me this am. They were under the limbs and when they turned to walk away, they just went straight ahead. So I never got a good shot opportunity at them. It was still exciting though!

i am so tired! woke up at 4:45 to go hunting in central mn. had a doe and two fawns at 10 yards. checked my cameras (no decent bucks) then went to wisconsin for the afternoon hunt. scouted for about and hour and then setup. saw a small buck and a doe and then a doe and a fawn. that was it for deer.
However, I did have a bobcat walk by at about 5 yards and then about half an hour later a big ole momma bear and 2 cubs walked right by me. i about crapped my pants when one of the cubs got within a couple feet of my tree. i thought that little crap head was coming up the tree. that wouldn't have been a good situation. pretty exciting hunt for my first time out though. hauled all my crap out of the woods and drove back to mn. long day....
