I marked no...but I was torn as to what to put.

I hunted about 10 hours Saturday and Sunday and saw one deer.

It was cold out and I should've seen alot more than that, so I put that I didn't see any.

As a whole it was pitiful.

2 on Thursday evening. No deer but 8 turkeys friday evening. Saturday evening a small 5 pt., doe, 2 fawns, 2 PY bucks right at dark and heard a few others blow way back in the timber. Two other guys hunting the property saw 10 together. I've never had a ton of luck during a full moon, but when I have, it has been when the moon rises before the sun sets. As was the case on Saturday.

I usually don't have much luck with moonlight, either, but Saturday morning I had a nice 8 pointer and 2 big does at 10 yards. They came in from behind me and my bow was hanging on a hook. After about 10 minutes (seemed like more) had my chance and brushed the bark reaching for the bow. They jumped and skirted a bit then walked out of range and hung around for about 30-45 minutes. I was wondering if I could make a 60 yard shot through tree limbs.:D

There were two facotrs that I figured would keep the deer away this past weekend, the full moon and the Wisconsin youth riflehunt. I was wrong. Apparently there are no longer any kids under 12-15YO across the river from our property that participated in the youth hunt. Saturday morning I got in a tad late and still managed to see 9 bucks. One was a decent 8 pointer, I though about taking him but he just wasnt what I was looking for this early in the season. About 20 minutes after he came in I spotted movement to my west. It was another buck. This one was a wall hanger for sure. Once the 8 saw this buck it didnt take him long to get out of there. The biggerbuck was at least upper 120's lower 130's class.He offered only one shot....quartering to. I let him walk. Through out that mornign I had seven other bucks walk throuh my stand but they were real small, cull, and scrubs.

I tried mid-day. I drove to my area at 9:45am, saw a doe and fawn feeding at the edge of a picked soybean feed about a mile from my hunting area.
Once in my treestand I had a doe and fawn come by at 10:30, but the doe offered me no good shot. Right after them a four pointer walked by offering me a perfect shot but I passed. I sat until 3pm and didn't see another deer.

Happy Hunting
Dan

Nary a one , but I did see lots of turkeys including the grey phase one that I had hoped would survive last season . If she gets close enough to my blind she won't survive this one . ;)
