Wisconsin rut activity
#21
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!

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.

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.
