Good luck and be safe to all going out tomorrow!

Good Luck - make some memories!

Good morning all. 17 winds north at 3,4 inches of snow in North East Chippewa Cty. Good luck all, be safe, shoot straight!

Just went out and turned the heat on in the fur shed. to start skinning and the 16-year-old grandson called. Just to tell me he shot a nice big d o e right after daylight he was not going to wait for the big one this year he said due to the cold weather. I see some fresh tenderloins in my future.

We have winds of 25-30 MPH and about 5-6 inches of crunchy snow on the ground. Deer are holding tight and hunters like me are taking mid day breaks.

Taking a break would involve way more work than sticking it out.lol

The morning sit was cold and uneventful for me. 27 shots counted from 6:11 am until 10:45 when I got down and headed towards my brother, he shot the only deer he saw. Headed back out in half hour for another ride in the tree for the evening!

Saw 17 does and 3 bucks… shot an 8 and my son shot a doe. We usually shoot nice bucks- this isn’t one of those. But I was pretty jacked about filling my Fisher Tag. I’ll try repost a couple pics tonight- if I don’t look like Hatchet Jack tonight. The 3 bucks I saw were small- post rut kinda small, mine was trailing a group of does the other two hung out at my drip scrapper.

good luck to all, be safe.

As for me all my past deer hunting buddies are either dead or have stopped hunting altogether.
I Just don't have the desire to shoot a deer anymore either, last time I went I let one walk past me and decided that was it the last time for me.

Seen 5 bucks, 4 does, 2 fawns. Passed them.

Everything frozen solid including me… our buck doe ratio runs on average 3:1 … a lot more does than what we typically see… our harvest goal this year was (3)… we’ll watch this winters severity index and might up that with a mild winter. Fisher Tagged Out was the best part of today.

Hard to hear anything today in that wind. Nothing this AM. Son missed a smaller fork and an hour later got a doe. I saw a tail. First year that on opening day I only hunted for 5 hours. Took a mid day break to warm up. Not a lot of shooting near us today.

6 degrees and no wind seems tropical compared to yesterday

Great day for you Eagleye. I've been at it 30 years & have never seen those kind of numbers. Keep it up .
Your drip scraper sounds interesting

Hunted all day- never saw a deer until 4:00. Definitely Post Rut activity with little forks and spikes moving back in to try their bravado at pushing does. Had 4 does come in at 4:15 and shot 3. My son passed on 3 smaller bucks all around 4.00. Weasel boxes stuff with mice but got one. I’m bow hunting tomorrow and my son will try to tag out.

Opening day I saw 15 does between 6:30 and 7:15. Two buck came by about then and I took the larger of the two. Not huge but a decent five pointer. Back in the house drinking coffee by 7:45.

You had me at coffee…. best post thus far
