Canuck2 even though this is a contest and we want you to shoot a buck it still needs to be a deer you would be happy with. It was a good choice to pass up a younger deer this early in the season. Good luck to ya buddy!

Well, I guess I'm just too picky. Had a 4x4 dead to rights this evening and elected to let him pass. He was coming down the hill and went behind a tree at 25 yd, which allowed me to draw without being seen. Could have had a nice 15 yard broadside but he looked young and not all that big. So I'll keep looking for something with more steaks to hang my only tag on.

Great job, huntalot! I will be out of town this weekend, but will hit the woods next Monday morning! I will hunt a few days next week on a WMA before statewide opens next Saturday. Then I will be primarily on my private properties. Best of luck to everyone!

lilman19 and bkautz, welcome. I think we have the makings of a humdinger of a team this year. Some very nice looking bucks there, bkautz.
I messed up big time this evening. Had one of the nice 4 pts (western, you guys) I've been coveting at less than 20 yd. I had come to full draw as he approached but he stopped facing directly toward me. I held forever and finally had to let down, figuring a redraw might work when he turned. But I clattered my arrow against the rest when I let down and *poof* - quick disappearing act.

Checking in. Sorry, been a rough few weeks. Threw out my back and dog had to have a tail amputation. But I'm here!
I'll be hunting on our 250 acres in western Wisconsin. My buddy just bought some land close to my place as well so I can try there.
We use qdm and have the big boys running around, I'll get some pics/vids up from last year to get the blood flowing in some big boys!
My main hunt will be first week of November for 10 days. I'll get a weekend or 2 before hand but that's the main one.
