RE: Need info on Wisconsin
I'm quite a bit south (4hours) from Bayfield, but on Tuesday I thought things were getting revved up, this weekend sort of changed that, weather (warm) slowed things down. 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 bucks were following (not chasing) some does around. My best response to calling was a 16" 8pt that wandered in from behind me grunting on occasion. Even though he wasn't a shooter I wanted to see how he would react. At about 70 yds he ignored all attempts at grunts, bleats (the can) and rattles. Doing something I've never done, I did a snort-wheeze with my mouth. He stopped and looked. I did it once more and he came walking right in.
I'm planning on going out Thursday a.m. with colder weather. I'll try to let you know what I observe.
