We managed one buck between myself, my brother, and my dad this year. I didn't see anything I could even legally shoot at (two spikes, and a six pointer). My dad missed a big 8 and my brother harvested this nice ten pointer on the second day of the season:
So far, this year has been a mixed blessing for me. I have yet to have a single doe in bow range. I missed a Booner at 32 yards with my bow (I flat out panicked). If you remember the trail cam photo I posted before the season I posted one of a big buck with two stickers off of his left G2 - well, I actually got a shot at him and missed him. Shot right over his back. Massive fail. I have seen two other shooters - one in range, but it was after legal shooting light.
I am heading up north for the Wisconsin gun season this weekend - the pickings are slim up there so I will shoot any legal buck I see. In 6 years of hunting up there, I have seen exactly two buck, one of which I harvested (a 4.5 year old 8-pointer). The other was a spike so I let him walk. But I am going to hunt hard and hope for the best.
After that, I will be able to hunt the muzzleloader down here in the fertile farm lands of Southwestern WI, and hopefully tag a doe AND a buck; then I have the whole late archery season to try and tag another doe and a buck. It would be really nice to get 2 or 3 deer in the freezer.
