Posts: 32892 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Good luck during the 9 day gun and following Black Powder season. Be safe, and shoot a BIG buck! Sunday: Keith got Old Splayed Toes tonight. He has almost no teeth at all, and his hooves are worn to long, splayed remnants. Three years back this old boy was way over 20" wide and tall as could be, I know because I missed him in a fit of Buck Fever. All but the main beam points and one tine are busted off, he might have been old, but he still was a scrapper. When Keith picked him up there was a piece of another Buck's hide about 3" long and a goodly chunk of hair stuck to his neck by his rack. I'll get pictures of Sue's doe later this week. I didn't see a single deer today, but sitting all day in that stand was about perfect. Another day with no deer in range on the high land stand, but that's fine. We have four in the garage, and there is a full week left in the woods before I head out with the smoke pole. I have a Hawken I like to use that's 1 in 66", so cap and ball only. Accurate as my 270 WSM, but only out to about 100 yards using open sites. A couple yearling does have been added, yet we still see as many as a dozen more each day crossing the large opening we have our stands set up on. Most are sticking to the swamps this year, as I'm only seeing a couple a day up on my ridge, being chased about by little bucks with amorous ideas. Toady it's really nasty, curtailing travel for many on Thanksgiving in the Rhinelander area, no doubt. Winds, whipping snow, and single didgt temps are the rule of the day. I will st from about 2: 30 to dark, all I can stand in this sort of cold. It's not the temps, it's the winds that eat a fellow's body heat fast.

| I stopped hunting the WI opener a few years back, coincided with my Mother In-Law allowing me to hunt on her property in MO. Harvested this mid 120 class buck on the 3rd day 11/14. Way too many antlers for this former WI public hunting ground user to pass on! Attachments ---------------- MO2005reduced.jpg (132KB - 35 downloads) | |||
