Some of the Wisconsin hunters are saying you can't hardly see deer anymore. Not uncommon to hunt all day and not see anything. However the DNR is reporting record numbers. Is the DNR fudging numbers to keep license sales up? What's your opinion on the population compared to years past?

So I did some digging. I'm not calling anyone a liar. I'll leave the finger pointing to you fellas in Wisconsin. I'd like to know what you guys think. The Wisconsin DNR is claiming a nearly 2 million deer population. That's about 4 times the number of deer in Iowa. Total BS? I'll link at...

Really good discussion here. Could not agree more with the "no guns during rut" crowd. If it were up to me, I would back up the start of gun season another week. Areas of large doe population where I live can see breeding activity well into Dec. Here's what I just don't get... How can the...

Oh, that's good! After 20 years of marriage I just get slapped anymore for humor like that. ;)

Tons of deer here. Just as many as ever. Very quiet though last weekend and mysteriously quiet out there this morning. Took a drive and saw no orange. Need some gunners here or next years rut is going to suck!

I've never even attempted late muzzy public but I can only imagine. Best advise I could offer would be to get sited in at 400 yds. :)

So did you hunt tonight?... or watch the Iowa Minnesota game. Not sure I saw it correctly. What was that final score? ;)

I was wondering if anyone had a big enough pair to go sit in a tree this morning. Figures it'd be you! :) Count me out, I'm not man enough!

I also hunt doe bedding areas. Rarely do I see a buck in the summer. Bedding areas can be an amazing place to be in the mornings! Seems that first light till 1/2 hour after sunrise is the first flurry of activity.....but don't get down! 2 hours after sunrise seems to be the second rush hour...

I had an odd hunt this morning. First light revealed a forky, a pair of 3 yr olds and a 5 yr old 12 pt stud..8" split brows, all of them mingling together around one doe. There was some pushing and shoving, but no all out brawl. I was watching the group in open alfalfa from 120 yds , and...

Nothing wrong with that. Sitting in a tree can wear a guy out! Get recharged and drop another big boy!

A wise and patience old man (the buck:)) Great advice to any young hunter. I learned this the heartbreaking way. Yup. A normal distraction. Me and my son have to use this tactic with my wife at times. :) I wouldn't call it a whiff. 35 yds is a long shot for an ......OK, for...

Oh geez Daver, I didn't even see your post! I haven't flipped you any crap for a while and I was getting itchy. If I had known you threw an arrow and didn't get that beast, I would have held off. Tough luck no doubt. Congrats to your son! Nice buck. You got any cam pics of the one you shot at?

I have to say there is something kinda nice about stumbling out the front door at O'dark thirty and it's only 200 yards to the nearest stand. If it's a slow morning, get down and go to work. If the timber lights up, call in sick. I prefer to tell the boss I have anal glaucoma....just can't...

It's a pretty easy build, feel free to contact me if you need blueprints.

Interesting discussion no doubt... Just thinking...I believe the FAA calls "navigatable airspace" 500 ft and above. So if I can hit it with Old Betsy then it was flying too low. :)

It's not just my deer hunting. I've got a home and a family on that same land. Fly a drone over my land and you're pissin in my Cheerios. Just sayin.

Yes sir, I believe that could be a new gun season I would support! What's the fine for taking one down? Consider it my first season tag paid and filled.
