Opening weekend was hot. Awful hot. No deer taken.
The 2nd weekend was cooler and I had deer in range but not enough camera light so I passed.
Weekend 3
I hoped to get up north early enough on Friday afternoon but that didn't happen so I climbed into a stand near my parents house as I would not make it out to the lease in time. I saw a spike and 2 does. One doe had a broken leg. It was very windy but the wind dies right after sun down. Then the deer arrived on the field. No shots were taken. The spike buck bedded right behind my stand until a neighbor fired a gun which make him bolt.
Sat. Morning I headed to the new lease.I picked up another lease in Central WI and the farmer wants deer populations reduced. Thats all I needed to hear. The front half of the farm is potatoes, The back is corn and a wide river runs through the center. Trail cams show a large antlerless population. I bought a sled and modified it by adding some slick wear strips to make dragging deer easier.. Im using an Ultimate Predator Adventure cam, mounted to the bow. This deer came out of nowhere and really surprised me as she came in without a sound.
