RE: Any Early Season Luck in WI???
I'm in college and I wasn't able to hunt until the second weekend of this years bow season. The first night out I saw 12 deer, 2 very small bucks, every deer was within bow range. I ended up shooting a decent doe since I'm in the earn a buck area, I made a good shot on her, I left her lay for a hour and went to find her. I couldn't find a drop of blood so left her lay the night. I got her through the lungs and she ran 40 yards, never bleed a drop. The rest of the weekend I saw around 15 deer, all does, most close enough to shot. I'm probably one of the few hunters that's happy Wisconsin has gone to earn a buck, the buck doe ratio is so incredibly off in my area something had to be done. As for bucks, I saw a very nice 8 pointer before season, at least a 18 inch spread with long tines, have picture and video of him. Some very nice bucks around, just a matter of time. Enjoy your hunting, the best of luck to everyone.
