I had a really great opening weekend. I was fortunate enough to take good bucks both mornings, and used both buck tags that I had from last year as well as taking a doe Sunday morning around 10:30 to have a tag that will be good for next year. Good luck to those who haven't been seeing much, I hope things turn around for you.

Had a pretty good opening weekend. We have 6 people in our group and ended up with 7 deer, 5 does and 2 bucks. I got 2 does on Saturday at 11am. Six does came walking down a trail about 100 yards out, stopped, I put the biggest one in my scope and shot, two took off and four stayed. So, I took a shot at a second and they took off. Went down to where they were, just off the trail was the second deer I shot and about 30 yards in was the cow of a doe I shot first. The first does was about 140lbs dressed and the second was 100lbs dressed. Good Luck to everyone else for the rest of the season.

First off how do you get 2 buck tags in WI? You are only issued ONE gun buck tag. Nice bucks I just hope someone else tagged one of them.
I saw 10 bucks Saturday. One was a 140 class 8 pointer. I didn't have a perfect shot so I held off. I'd rather shoot him with the bow anyway. I think I saw over 30 deer Saturday so it isn't bad everywhere.

Our weekend at our place wasn't too bad. I shot a 2 does, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. I saw a couple other does and fawns and a spike. Our camp got 4 deer total so not too bad.

Day 1 State report. Some places did well, others did not. I know that in our party most of the guys were out of the woods by 10:30-11:00 because of the cold rather than at noon, and didn't go back out until 2:30 or so. Less time in the woods means fewer chances.
