Well, here we are...Deer Season Eve! I want to wish everyone a safe, fun, and successful hunt! Lots of things are changed this year but I am really looking forward to sitting in my ladder stand before sun up, and hoping something brown tries walking by. Have not missed an opener in 54 years and planning on not missing one in the next 54.

Good luck to you also. Yep, lots changed here also. Will be in the "stand" at sun up with the new flinter. Good luck to all out there.

Good luck y'all. I'm milking in the morning but will be out in the afternoon as soon as possible!

Good song to get you going

Most camps up here will have fewer people due to covid. My best friend from Iowa has covid and won't be here. It won't seem like deer hunting without him wearing my Badger sweatshirt and prying the dollar out of his wallet for Iowa losing to Wisconsin. It's been a standing bet for 23 years. They play later this year so he will have to pay double next year.
Good luck to everyone and have a safe hunt.

I and the wife will be out, I tested positive today for Covid but have never missed an opener. Good Luck all be safe!

Good luck to all and be safe!

Good luck to all and I'll be waiting for pics

Be safe, have fun and good luck to all. This will be a very different hunt for me on opening weekend. We have traveled and hunted in the national forest since 1992. This year I will be in a raised stand looking over a small field in farmland and only 12 miles from our home instead of 210 miles. It will take some time to get used to the traffic sounds and the domestic animal sound etc. but there are more deer for sure.

Folks I can't tell you how excited I am, this day every year is like Christmas eve to me I'm busting at the seams and my family who also hunts is like meh. I roll this 9 days into the start of my trapping season and run a line all the way to close I'm so pumped almost a year of waiting is coming down to a few hours!!!!

Good luck guys. Be safe and have fun!

Super excited. Finally get to sleep in.

Good luck out there Wisconsin hunters, and be safe.

Well, checked stands behind my son's place and all is good. Normally I would be staying up there for the weekend but he has Covid rolling through is place of employment so I had to make the decision to not stay up there, but will still be hunting behind his place. I will have a 25 mile drive in the morning but at least I will be able to enjoy my own toilet...with any luck. Normally tonight we'd be going to the landowner's cabin, sipping good whiskey, talking smart, and dancing around the fire pounding our spears on our shields. Not this year and their crew is in full agreement.

Tomorrow night we would normally be having their crew over at my son's place for venison stew, homemade hard rolls, and more good whiskey. Instead my good wife made up a big pot of stew, hard rolls, and apple pie that we will drop off over there after hunting. He called my son and said their cabin is literally infested with mice so I will also be bringing up some mouse traps and glue boards to help them out.

Right now the truck is loaded, sandwiches all made, and I am relaxing with the traditional couple fingers of Yukon Jack with just a couple ice cubes. Life, for this year, has changed but it is still awful dang good.

My best to all hunting in the morning!

Good luck to all, be safe and shoot straight. This will be season No. 54 for me.
On a side note, my wife Patrice got an 8 pointer tonight with her crossbow
so we won't go hungry this winter.

Good Luck Zim & Congrats Patrice!!!

We've seen Patrice's cooking Zim. You folks will not be going hungry with or without a deer in the freezer. Good luck and to all. Post pics.

Had a very good opening morning with filling my buck tag at 7am and then two coon on a half dozen traps I have out.
