2018 updates from the field

Wanted to start the 2018 updates from the field.  Sometimes helps to know what is going on with patterns and movement.  Sometimes is just the little more motivation to sit an additional hour.  Look forward to adding to here Saturday morning for the opener.

Steady rain and windy this morning. Seen a few does early.  Yesterday evening had a big mature 12pt come by at about 75 yards at 5:50pm. He was standing about 20 yards from my rifle stand.  As he was walking away I grunted a few times but it didn't phase him

Slow morning. One doe at 7:30. Drizzle this morning. Nothing now. Staying out all day. Barron county. 

 Could be worse ! Nothing here but I'm at work lol ! Good luck all 

Dead calm,  drizzle and no deer seen.  Marquette county.   Bunch of fresh rubs on my way to the stand and some mature bucks on cam moving during daylight either really early or really late.  Still optimistic but would like to see something. 

Got busted at 8:30 by a big 8 pt.  Only nice one I’ve had on camera all fall.  So, another year, another blown opportunity.  My 10 acres is officially turded up.  I honestly have no clue how he picked me off, but it doesn’t matter.  

Calm with a steady drizzle in Juneau County. Just had an old doe slowly circle through working her nose hard. 

Washington County.  Dead calm. Lots of squirrels and turkeys. Expectations are high!

Small 6 pt at 730 checking a small scrape.  Got 15 yards.  Dead calm and overcast. Thought more would be moving

On stand, Jefferson Co.  Farmer is picking the field one 40 to the East.  The deer should be used to it, but it never gives me confidence.  

Squirrels are in full on seak mode.  Just had a booner fox squirrel go by nose to the ground.

The further north I drive the bigger the bucks get!!!what a great time are you

Bought 120 inch buck on the side of the road around Wisconsin dells

Small bucks are all splattered all over I 94 so let the good times roll boys and girls. The best time of year is upon us

On my way to work this morning on the moped. I live in a wooded subdivision and had 2 bucks about 10 seconds behind a doe miss running me over by about 5 feet. Could hear them breathing as they ran by. Will be out after work. Could be a great weekend. Good luck all.
