Shot my first doe in central Wisconsin public land. It was late season and last day I was going to hunt. Couldn't be any happier with an ending like that , I hope yall enjoy!!

Even though the area I hunt is open until January 31rst I went out to my woods and took down my hub style blind so the upcoming heavy snow doesn’t crush it. As expected the area surrounding my food plot was a sheet of ice. It was dead calm, not a noise of any type to be heard. Not a bird or squirrel or any new deer sign to be seen. That silence was a bit eerie and unsettling. Sad that the my season is over. Hope for some drier weather next year so my food plot has a chance to grow and maybe the deer will once again show some interest in it. 

Life long traditional bow

Hey just wondering if anyone has hunted the rat river area in Winnebago this year?

Sat a few hours this morning, nothing moving.  Needed a good food source.  Oh well, good to be out.

I seen my biggest buck to date while on stand last night.  Rock county chasing 2 doe grunting realized he wasn't coming my way so I tried the can call. He turned and headed my way but stayed out of range and eventually walked off. I saw a stud yesterday morning also they were moving

Got out in the wind and cold front last night for the last 1.5 hours.  Nothing moved for me.  Still hope to get out a few more good sits yet.  A lot of season yet.

Congrats Matt!  

I finally managed to take my first deer this past Sunday morning.  Right after shooting time I had a doe come running by, shortly followed by 3 bucks.  I drew on one of the bigger bucks at about 5 yards, but it was too dark to tell where the pin was on him through the peep so I had to let him go.  15 minutes later this guy came in and stopped about 10 yards broadside in front of me.  I took the shot and knew I hit him.  Didnt like the way the arrow looked so I backed out and we went back around noon to track.  Found him a little over a hundred yards away.  He's a year and a half old with one antler broken off at the base and the other side is just a socket like he shed it already.  Not sure what was up with that, but I'm beyond thrilled to have finally taken my first deer! Fond du lac county, public land

I didn't even see that!  But that's more a kicker than a split...    

Come-on Dude there’s a mini split on the G2 ... Lol

Congrats to all on the great deer! Some awesome bucks here.

I’m especially impressed with the recurve kills. I’ve had the notion several times to scrap the compound bow, fancy gear, cameras, etc. and pick up the recurve. Fewer sources of frustration and a much bigger accomplishment to do it that way. Well done!

Nice deer, but neither have splitG2's??
