Rut was pretty active near Black River Falls. I only hunted once this entire year (the last week of October). I saw 5 bucks within 2 hours of daybreak. Two were what I would consider shooters. I saw a really wide 8 pointer before taking the small 8 pointer in the attached photo. We own private property and it is relatively easy to get bucks of the quality I have attached in the photo. My biggest problem is that for some reason I can't seem to pass on them. I keep taking them year after year and I'm most definitely denying myself the opportunity at a big rack buck.
