Yep! Son and I both have Friday off so I am heading up to his place for the hunt for the weekend. Friday night we head to the landowner's shack to sip a little whiskey and catch up for the year. Saturday night they all come over to my son's place for a big feed...and sipping a little whiskey. Hope fully we will all be great successful warriors and dance around pounding our spears on our shields!

Have a safe and fun hunt!

Heading up Friday AM to the northern retreat. The utility firm needs to replace the gas line meter and will do that Friday while we are there. Son will come up Friday after work. We hunt about a day and a half or so and come home. This year the schedule looks so full probably won't go back up after Turkey Day. Promised the 3 granddaughters I would work with them on making 3 Gingerbread houses with them and they are raring to go.

Going up again for the whole season but have not got a deer the past 7 years. We hardly ever see deer. The wolves have taken over our territory in the National Forest. Years ago it use to be awesome trophy hunting.

Will walk out my back door as usual opener. After that I will carry the rifle with beaver trapping. I enjoy the muzzle loader season alot more after the army of orange has went home.

Setting up deer camp Thursday. Should have the woodstove purring, the Coleman lanterns humming and the cribbage board pegging by sundown. Put in a few mink sets for fun Friday morning and get stands ready in the afternoon. Good luck and be safe out there.

Wishing everyone a safe hunt out there and an enjoyable hunt. The forecast suggests moderate, almost mild temps for our opener. Partly sunny, highs upper 30's to 40, here around Fall Creek.
Was initially planning to hunt the opener up at a friend's cabin SW of Grand View, but won't make it up there until muzzleloader season now. Have to hang close to the farm for family reasons.

Nice thing that the orange army usually retreats by Sunday afternoon.

They might stay out all day Sunday. Packers don't play 'til after seven.

It's always interesting to hear when the first shot "sounds off" on opening day. Many times it's 20 minutes or better before the legal time, at least by me. Can be earlier if there's snow.

My son and I heading out Friday to my sister cottage. We have hunted from there for many years now with my brother and couple others. Back in September the piece of county woods we hunt was marked for clear cutting. The tree I actually lock my seat on has been marked as has the whole area our group hunts. I've shot 5 deer from that spot and before that it was my older brother stand..My brother checked with the county and someone did place a bid to cut that woods.. So having not been there for couple weeks we aren't sure our woods won't be buzzing with skidders and cutters, We are all hopping they don't get started working until after deer season. Then for next year for sure we will have to scout new place to be. Just one of them things have to deal with on public land. My original stand in that area was cut over after tornado went threw, That was 11 years ago and they salvaged cut all that. It's now young pines so thick can hardly walk in there..

I'll be going to my daughter's school to eat lunch with her on Thursday then heading up to camp right away. My hope is to get a half dozen or so fisher sets spread throughout our woods, all in locations that look fisher-y and that are nearby others' stands so they can check them for me while going hunting so I dont have to traipse all over their spots.

We will have 6 of us in camp this year. Normally we spend Friday splitting and stacking wood, but this year our wood bins are all full so maybe we'll go fishing if this warm weather doesn't chew up too much of the ice. We had 4.5" when fishing on the 15th.

Good luck to all and stay safe!

Mac, that area you've been hunting that's about to be logged off will be really good in a couple of years. You can find good stands along the edges where the logging stopped. The county foresters are usually pretty good to work with, regarding info about activities and timelines.

We had more deer movement at our gun club after it was logged then before. The deer will love the new growth. Sure, the patterns will change, but don't count that property out at all.

Yahoo can’t wait for all city folk to come up, drink and drive like.
There is no repercussions and shoot Bambi hung over the next day and
Be bragging about it by noon Saturday. This coming week is one of the most
Annoying weeks of the year. Lots of small bucks will get shot and does will
Get wiped out on the public land bc there handing out doe tags like they do
Welfare. Yuck.
Sorry to sound pessimistic but wi rifle season is a joke. Hopefully the rut will be wound down and
Some of the young deer will make it.

Well, maybe you should help the rest of us set a good example to those who don't get it.
