2021/22 bow hunting reports

Had a little year and a half come in at 7am ish... Downwind and crossed walk in path and kept going... Cool to experience ground hunting in a marsh/crp area... Later went to check a cam close in area and got within 40 of a small doe with the sun at my back... Good check I'll be trying to hunt that area after working this weekend 2 nice bucks around there just no daylight pics will have to gameplan to move in close to suspected bedding provided they aren't in the corn there... All public land se wi..  tight(bow)strings and good luck everyone this season. I'm pumped!

After several years of having permission for some great private land I had to move on due to the owner passing away and land being sold off. So off to public I went. Was able to harvest this guy 11/1 at 1 o'clock. Sheboygan county

Shot this 11 pointer on 10/31.  Hunted behind my house and I don't typically see a lot so thought I'd rattle and try to make something happen.  Was loud though with sound coming off I-39 so I figured nothing would hear me.  At about 5PM it got pretty quiet so I tried rattling.  I was in the middle of it when I saw a spiker coming straight at me from the north.  Set the antlers down and got in position, was just going to record him on my Tactacam.  He acted nervous and all the conditions were right so I thought maybe he wasn't seeing a deer and didn't want to commit.  He made a few hops back pretty fast and then I heard noise behind me to the south.  This one was coming at a pretty good clip with is head outstretched.  Then from the west there was another buck coming.  Saw 8 points on it right away but quit looking after that as I was concentrating on this other one.  Was pretty cool to have bucks coming from 3 different ways, all converging on me.

Worked great having them all there because they were basically eyeing each other up.  This one came past at 20 yards on his way towards the 8 pointer.

Are you on an iphone?  I think those use .heic extensions which is not supported everywhere.  Might have to save it as a jpeg or something possibly.

On my phone, It doesn't click when I hit the upload icon and tried on my computer and it wasn't the picture I selected,  wasn't even one of my pics.  Thanks for the help, I give up.

Driving around yesterday I saw 2 nice bucks trying to get killed on the road.  Good luck everyone out there and stay safe.

Click, upload files here, photo library, resize to medium. Done. 

Got a nice 10 pointer yesterday at 728 AM. He was by himself but was definitely on a mission somewhere.  That is the earliest in the morning I have ever shot a buck bow hunting. 

Would post a picture. But haven't ever been able to figure out how since LL changed their format.  If anyone can help, would greatly appreciate it!

My cell cams in Adam's county had nice bucks today at 11 1130 1 and 6. First day time pics of good bucks during daylight this fall..I'm back home chasing bigger bucks in rock county but they are still nocturnal for me

Hang in there guys that might be new to the sport. i have shot ALL my bow bucks between Oct 31- Nov 13. I ONLY shoot decent 8s or bigger now also. In the early days I shot whatever came close but not anymore. Lastly, I do half my hunting standing on the ground with no cover cept an existing tree or branch. Talk about a rush as you nearly get run over by a insane buck. 

Sat all morning and only saw a couple does. Got out at 11:30 for an hour and went back in. The flip was switched and the woods were on fire tonight. Several bucks were chasing does all over, grunting and roaring. I’ll be in the woods all day tomorrow……the time is here……Goodluck everyone

As far as timing goes the good hunting is about over here in Green Lake County, unless you like to see little bucks chasing every doe they see at mach 10. The pre rut is my favorite time to hunt when bucks are cruising looking for a little action. I've had midday bucks on my cameras for a week already. Any buck worth shooting will be locked down on a doe soon and you just have to keep going and hope to catch him between does. The only time a nice buck will work a scrape now is at midnite

Buck tag is filled, looking for a doe for parents freezer, of course I had 1 medium size 6ptr cruise by early afternoon, then a nice shooter 8 an hour before dark. No chasing, just cruising. 

Public, Waushara cty. 

Go get him the_dude!

Well, I have off all week to hunt and I worked from daylight till dark today…

I have 5 cell cameras going on 3.25 acres of food plots and the plots are covered up in does and fawns all day pretty much. Not a buck to be seen during daylight. Even with the ground covered with snow this afternoon I sure thought it would get the boys chasing. And they just might be, somewhere, but no confirmation from my cameras. 

I think the rut starts later in far northern Wisconsin and the U.P. Just a hunch. Maybe I’ll work tomorrow too. 

Good luck to everyone and congrats to those who punched their tags already!

NW Jefferson Cty:  small bucks chasing and cruising Saturday and Sunday.  Neighbor shot a dandy 10 pt Saturday morning.  Not sure if he was chasing or just cruising.  1:43 PM today got a trail cam pic of a mature deer walking through my food plot.  Now is the time.  Good luck!

No luck here so far. We've been out the last few days and have seen a bunch, but nothing other than small bucks are coming in range. Small bucks are getting ready, but i haven't seen anything mature yet.  Marquette cty

Wont be up until gun deer now.
