Any Early Season Luck in WI???
Anyone get anything??
I hunt in an Earn a Buck zone and managed to hit a doe on Sunday of opening weekend. Moved just as I released. Hit it, saw it run 60 yards and go down in some tall CRP. Waited 15 minutes, saw no movement, and went to get it. Walked up with bow at the ready and looked to find it. She was there...jumped up and ran!!! Arrow was there, covered with dark red blood. Heard a sort of sucking or slurping sound coming from deer as it ran.
Waited until morning to look for it. Found blood...but no deer!!! Of course, with all of the foliage and CRP grass, I might have walked five feet from it and not seen it.
So a doe is dead, but I have to get another one to be "legal" for a bow buck.
