Ill be in my tree for sure!

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.

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