RE: Any Early Season Luck in WI???
Went out on Sat. the 2nd on my folks land in northern Adams county. I was looking to shoot a doe, as temperatures we ideal for curing and butchering. Had a medium sized doe and her fawn coming in to feed on acorns. Fawn was about 10 feet from the stand while the doe was around forty yards when my dad and bro came through the woods on the ol 9n from duck hunting!!! Needless to say the deer split. Oh well!
I'm glad we're in the T-Zone this year. I always liked the idea of being able to harvest a doe early in the season, as it provides some reassurance to my skills as an archer, as well as providing some much needed meat for the freezer!! It seems that the years when I've been able to shoot a doe(wheter T-Zone hunting or by use of a bonus tag) I feel a lot calmer during the rest of the season, which makes it a little easier when passing up on the smaller bucks.
Anyway, good luck to all going out this weekend!! I'm glad I've found this forum, as I sure like to talk hunting!!
