Ok, so I'm part of a special handicapped hunt at a mining company, and I've spent the last two days sitting in my van in 85 degree weather, waiting for deer to come around. I took today off because there were supposed to be storms, and I didnt feel like sitting in my van again all day waiting to see 2 deer the whole day!!

Tomorrow is supposed to be alot cooler, with a high temp of about 62, and mostly sunny with just a slight chance of showers in the afternoon. But its supposed to be windy, west winds at 15-25 mph. Will that be to strong of a wind to sit in and hunt??

This is also in Wisconsin, and I'm hunting with a rifle. I have a Remington model 700 .270

I'll be parked where I can see down a lane that goes between woods to the north and a soybean field to the south, and I'll have the wind in my face the whole day.

I have four calls: "The Can", M.A.D. Buck Growl, adjustable deer call (fawn, doe, young buck and mature buck) and a rattle bag.

Any advice on how to get the deer moving?

And before anyone give me a hard time about sitting in my van, I am handicapped, and have the class A disabled hunter permit.

The weather change will get them moving more than any call ever will. As far as calling you could go ahead and try it guess but it's a little early for that yet. As far as the wind, I wouldn't worry to much about that just make sure you keep track of the direction especially because your in the van. Good luck! I'll be waiting for some pics!!

Good luck! Good to see you out hunting but if i was you i'd get rid of that rattle bag.

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Weather will get them going.The only call I might use would be the Can.

Not going to Blast you about the Van I set in my Pickup all the time,same reason.

Why get rid of it? Should I go buy some of the fake horn things in the store?

hehe, maybe I just need to shoot a buck and use his horns next year :D

RE: Seeking Advice
 

No, it's not that the bag is worse than horns. It's just too early to start rattling, give it a few weeks before you break them out.

Got a buck and a doe, will post pictures when I get them

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Congrats!!!! looking foward to the pictures!!!!

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Finally got pictures of my deer!! The buck was nice, just wish he had a bigger rack!! The doe was decent, but hopefully I get a bigger one next month

RE: Seeking Advice
 

congrats! looks like you put a good shot on both of them!!!!

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Yea, very good shot!

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Awesome!! Congrats!!

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Thanks!! It was one shot, one kill on each of them. My cousin (red sweatshirt, red hat in doe pic) said I should work for the army, lol. I dont know about that, but I was always told to try to get lung shots, although Dad says if I dont want to waste any meat, head shot. But if I hit it in the lungs, I'm not wasting meat either.

But thanks for the congrats guys!! Cant wait to get a couple more doe in the regular season

RE: Seeking Advice
 

It makes me feel good to see a guy in your condition still getting on the hunt! Nice shooting!

RE: Seeking Advice
 

hey congrats are given when they are due and you earned them on those shots!!!! very nice!!!!! good luck on the rest of your season and keep us posted on any other kills!!!

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Great shooting ,Those are some nice deer.

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Nice looking deer! Congrats!

RE: Seeking Advice
 

It is definitely NOT too early to start rattling. As long as you keep it to a mild pushing match and not an allout war. The rattle will work at this time of the season. I dont see why you guys think it wont if you use it correctly..? Deer are still having pushing matches right now even though it is outside of the rut....

RE: Seeking Advice
 

Congrats!!! Great shot on both deer. Here I am having a pitty party because my back hurts after surgery and I see your pictures. That is it I am going out climbing up ito my stand and going to do some hunting.


Thank you !!the isperation.
