We hunted near our cottage by Stevens Point and saw more than last year. First day I passed 3 small bucks in the am and hunted another stand across the road where we have been watching 2 good bucks. This buck was spooked by a neighbor who decided to leave his stand at 3:55. I shot him at 4:00. Neither myself nor my father had seen this buck before.
I shot the doe the next morning in our other land that is herd control. Passed a small buck there as well. A lot of very small racked bucks this year and my father missed one about as big as I shot.
Well so far no luck for me. I've had to work all week and yesterday had family Thanksgiving most of the day. Not many ppl in the woods moving deer. Hopefully this weekend will be better.
My 10 yr old son got his first buck opening morning, a 2.5 yr old 5 pointer. I haven't seen horns since, but it doesn't much matter, watching him get his made the whole season.
My father shot a nice 8pt Wednsday afternoon and I was watching a 150 class with some does last night but he only fed for about 5 minutes before he moved the does back into cover.
