Default One deer states.....2 deer states.....ramblings...

I kinda feel for you guys who only get1 tag/2 tags. I was thinking about it this morning. You get one tag.....see your deer in the first 2 weeks.....tag him (congrats)....and you're done. To a somewhat lesser extent.....the same is true for 2 tag states.

If...oh....I don't know.....Joe Montana onlyplayed1 or 2games a year......how much "experience" could he obtain over a period ofhis career? As much as the guy playing 10-12 games a year?

Just rambling thoughts........

That's why we end up passing on so many bucks. Sure you can get a decent pattern on them early season bucks. But do you wanna be done? Are you gonna sit out the rut?? Sometimes it's tough to draw!

He's not a "hunter" at all, David ('course you knew that).

I guess I don't see where your heading with this. Do I learn more about deer by watching them? I imagine? But let's be somewhat honest here. They're just deer, they eat, poop and breed! They twitch their tail before they move andyes, they still eat the soy beans after they turn brown.

What I'm gaining is the opportunity to be in the woods, hunting. Not knowing what will show up next. If I kill in the early season, it's done. There is no "what if".

I'm fortunate. In the zone I hunt in Wisconsin you can literally get unlimited tags (4 per day). It's the Herd Reduction Zone, and this year it's Earn-A-Buck all season,gota get a doe first.

Nothing wrong with what you said. I had to watch a buck on the last day of the season last year that I'd have loved to have shot....I just didn't have a tag for him.

Yep. They're just deer.

And if you like the bears stay down there!
