Posts: 170 | A year ago gun season (Friday), this guy stepped out of the cedars. His back was covered with snow and he had big chunks of ice on his forehead. I think he was holed up for several days and finally came out after the big snow on Thanksgiving day. Decent 9 and with good weight... Last weekend on the same stand (bow), I had a good 8 come out to make a scrape although never presented a shot...I guess the .300 WSM will have to do his job instead of the carbons.

Posts: 4266 | My best was 149 gross, 143 5/8 net. The biggest deduction was an almost 3" difference in the G-2's. The only other deductions, for main beam was 1/8, brow tines were 2/8 and the rest were all 1 or 2 eighths. It was so symetrical, it was scary. I may have sat for the last time yesterday. I just can't handle it physically any more. Hard to admit that it's time to hang it up for good. But, I have a 10-year old daughter who plans on hunting with her "Best Buddy" in the years to come. I'll do it for her, but my back can't take the cold or the hours needed to arrow the big bucks that run my little slice of heaven. I've seen an 8 that would score 150, and a 12 that would push 170, but I can't sit all day any more, which is what I should have been doing for the last week and a half. That's OK, I had a good run. Now it'll be a ground blind with my daughter until she is old enough for tree stands, and then I'll make her boyfriend do all of the work.

| Big Perc you said something about shooting fish in a barrel. Well here is something like that. Only I shoot fish and put them into barrels.:) http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/muskie-guy/P1010076.jpg Have not shot a deer yet (haven't gone through Hunters Safety yet), but I have found some nice buck skulls. A 10pt with 22"inside spread!:) I should get on the Hunters Safety thing because I'm seeing some nice bucks in my back yard.  I do have a pic of me holding the skull somewhere if I find it I will post it. Mike Warren | |||

Location: Lake Tomahawk, WI | So far my trip back to Wisconsin has been great. Ended up being more of a meat run, but my brother Josh and Bob did take a real nice 8 pointer this weekend. We've harvested 9 deer for 8 hunters, a spike, 2 8's, and 6 does. By far the best we've ever done. Happy Thanksgiving and be careful driving and hunting this weekend.

Posts: 32784 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Well, we had a great season, even though the big boys avoided us well. We didn't see a nice buck all season, but they ARE there. We found a blood trail by a stand we hadn't hunted all season because of the winds, and tracked it back to a huge area all ripped up from a fight; looks like one of the bucks lost pretty bad. Probably not fatal, but a heck of a fight had happened there. Sue got a 6 and a nice doe, and I got a nice doe in the herd control area not far from us. I still have a couple days I can hunt with the smoke pole, maybe that big boy will make a mistake yet! Here's the view north west and south east we enjoyed all week from the tower.
