I sat Saturday morning for three hours, Saturday night for four hours and this morning (Sunday) for three hours. All I saw was one spike and two does. Hunted the same stand both mornings and a different stand by a creek Saturday afternoon. Pretty puny for me so far.

I also had my camera on a scrape for a little over a week. Not a single picture...

Price county is just starting. I saw 1 rub in several miles of scouting. Not many deer neither.

Saw a big buck and a doe just standing in a hay field at 8:00 a.m. just outside of Delavan this morning.

Had a doe with two fawns come by tonight. One fawn gave me a shot, so I tagged it.

Don't does get rid of their fawns during rut?

Saw two 130" bucks chasing a single doe across a fallow field at 8am earlier this week. I was amazed. (St. Croix county)

TONS of scrapes in upper Polk county, but no daytime rutting activity seen besides very young bucks checking does.

Had two chasing does around me tonight around 5. Not sure how big they were because I never actually saw them, but lots of grunting and branches breaking

Here in Wisconsin Rapids I saw lots of feeding does, and a few small bucks up til about 28 oct. Then it all went flat. I sat 3 mornings and evenings without a sound. I took the past 2 days off to maybe let the woods cool down. This morning must have been a good one, I saw some big bucks hanging from meat poles. We will see what happens in the morning. Ill be in my tree for sure!
