Ill be in my tree for sure!

Totally hear ya! I sat Thurs. night, Fri night, Sat. morn and Sun morn. Didn't see a thing! It's been pretty pathetic November for me..

I'm seeing does out in the field eating but no bucks chasing. Had a spike come through tonite, grunting and two does followed a half hour later. Seems the fawns have been run off so it is real close if not here. I'm in Dunn county, WI.

Saw 3 does running fast past my tree this am. A big black wolf right behind them. We have seen this animal before, on several ocasions. But something didnt look right about it this time. Im thinking its either a wolf dog, or a wild dog all together. Big animal for sure, but the front legs look too short for a wolf.

Where around Wisconsin Rapids were you when you saw this wolf?

furgitter 11-07-2011 04:29 PM

By 17th ave. Everyone that hunts the area has seen it. And the albino deer living there too.

I've heard about the albino from buddies that hunt in city limits.

furgitter 11-08-2011 03:55 AM

Theres 4-5 of those albinos now. Ones a 6 pointer. They move around some. They wander in and out of the city limits.

The does were bedded with the bucks in real thick cover this morning. I did a little push for my sons today and the count coming out was one forker, 3 mature does, one youngster, and a coyote. I did asecond push and turned out a mature doe, and a larger buck. Didnt get a good look at him though as he cut out 100 yards before the end. I can say it was a big bodied deer, and 6 or better.
No shooting today, but we have freezing rain tonight and 2-5 inches of snow tomorrow. More pushing I think, I never have good luck sitting while its snowing.

Another afternoon of nothing for me. That makes five consecutive sits of not seeing a deer. I hunt on the south side of Rapids in Saratoga.

Tomorrow we should have snow, and more on the way. Im gonna find a track and see whats at the other end of it.
