RE: Need info on Wisconsin
Sorry, I couldn't get to my computer yesterday, buck down! I saw a big differnce in deer movement yesterday vs. Sunday. On they way to work todayI saw a buck slowly cruising a field right next to the highway. That is the first DEER I've ever seen in that field in 6 years and here he was at 8:00. Get in the woods this weekend, or better yet, NOW!
As for the buck, I had passed on 2 small bucks cruising past. It was windy and raining most of the morning. At 8:30 hewas walking briskly down a trail 60 yards away, angling downhill away from me. I knew he looked good, so I grunted once, he paused. I hit it again and he looked right at me. I didn't move and he jumped onto a trail that passed at exactly 40 yards. I put the pin right at the bottom of his chest and let it go. Great hit right at the shoulder, and Slick Tricks passed right through. He went 30 yards and tipped over. He is only going to go about 125" he's a gnarly 10 pt, 18 inch inside, but we determined him to be a buck that maxed out at about 140" a couple of years ago so he's passed his prime and really shouldn't be a breeder anyway, so possibly 7-8 years oldand just shy of 185lb field dressed. I'm pretty happy with him andmy 5 year old just smiled all day yesterday he was so proud of his dad. Very cool.
