Just getting a thread going. I know I'm not the only person who is feeling excited for the season. I hunt Burnett county.
Big Game Hunting
2019 Deer Season
will be up in gods country Waupaca, Thursday after work and getting camp ready Friday waitin for the boyz to show for olde fashions and spaghetti/meatballs dinner Friday and bear bacon cheeseburgers Saturday night hopefully celebrating more with a tree full of deer, special time of year cant wait.
Deer camp number 24 in a row for me. I'll be at camp the whole week. Looking forward to the gun raffles on Friday and then relaxing in the woods the rest of the week. We've got quite the menu planned this year. My uncle and cousin smoked a huge salmon yesterday. In addition to the salmon we have a pork shoulder and big brisket to smoke at some point during the week. I'm very excited to spend time with my family.
I've been on vacation for the last 3 weeks trapping and deer hunting, with a week in northern Ontario for the first week of there gun season. I work 3 days next week and then back to langlade county for my 30th year in the same area. All 3 of my boys will be here this year plus my 2 best friends which will make for a great week. My youngest is in the Air Force and is lucky enough to be able to get back. Best of luck to everyone and remember to be safe and wear your safety harness.
My two boys and I will be hunting public land mid-state again this year. Is it the same excitement as when I was a kid 42 years ago? Probably not, but the fire still burns. I will never be the kind of hunter who passes on deer because they are not big enough or old enough. Every deer I see, which isn't that many, gets my heart thumping. I will try to shoot the first one that comes by, as always, unless it is a fawn. Hopefully, we'll see a couple. The older son got one last year, so now the younger one's due again. I was blessed to get a crossbow doe a couple weeks ago, so I'm giving them the best spots, as long as no one beats us to them! Good luck everyone and be safe!
I have hunted the last 31 gun seasons in Price co. I am not sure i will bother this year. I will likely stay down in the Fon Du Lac area , wait till Monday and then yea out. , , but of course I could head up to Price co. too. I told my son, if it is bad weather or real cold, I ain't going!!
