Yup, already been up for an hour ate breakfast now just pacing the floor, forcast is calling for a little light snow here at dawn should be good

Good luck everyone.

Anybody having any luck? Nobody in our camp of 4 has seen anything bigger than a squirrel yet.

Here are a few I shot with my camera on my phone….

Got this one too.

Just got things done. My son and I were hunting about 15 miles apart. Today at 4:20 I shot an adult doe. At the same time he shot a yearling buck. We needed a 4 wheeler as mine was over a quarter of a mile off the road at the end of a muddy chisel plowed field. His was way back in the woods so we used the 4 wheeler there as well. Took some time to get to each but now we have deer to cut up Tuesday.

Nope pretty dead here I think 4 deer out of 14 hunters, nothing moving

Got it done this afternoon, 3:45. Only seen a couple, heard a decent amount of shooting.

River was rising and still rising so we didn't set camp. That meant we had to drive down to the landing at 5:00 both mornings. Only deer I saw was the one I hit with the truck this morning. So it goes.

Meanwhile, Trader Vic just got the green light from his doc to go deer hunting after shoulder surgery this fall. Scored a dandy buck on his farm.

I wondered if you were hunting the islands Muskrat. I saw one truck and trailer at the landing off county C. The Wisconsin has came up a lot in the last while after being almost shallow enough to walk across most of the year.

We made the decision middle of last week after that horrendous rain to not set camp. In the 35 years off/on I've camped in the bottoms, we've been chased out twice. The last time was a Saturday afternoon and the water was a couple of feet from the tent, not vertical feet. Last thing I want to do is pack out a 12x17 wall tent with wood stove while standing in water . . in the middle of the night.

And it's still coming up yet today, though it looks like upstream it might've crested by now. And the Mississippi looks like it's starting to back off.

Oh well, and now the deep freeze next weekend.

I have yet to see a deer. Very little shooting in our area.

Son and I wanted to get done quick so we could head out duck hunting. Got excited when he got a nice 8-point on Opening Morning. Got a little wary when we found a tennis-ball sized hard tumor in the liver. Today while skinning and quartering the buck we encountered very big, ugly, stinky tumors oozing/draining/spewing what looked like lemon pudding. Thought about posting pictures but you need to smell this to truly appreciate it. Found them in the backstraps too. Quartering and processing was done, except for hauling it to the carcass disposal.

Sooooo...the deer hunt continues,,,,,duck hunting is put on hold despite the fact there is only one week left.

I love the Ruger boat paddle!

Fortunate to harvest this guy at 645 opening morning. Nice little sticker off one base. Not much shooting in SW Manitowoc County for an opening weekend. Will get out later this week for a mature doe to help fill the freezer. Good luck to everyone still hunting.

Took this guy opening morning along with a doe. Saw seven deer in the first hour three of which were bucks. Even got my 85 year old father out to enjoy the morning. Beautiful weather.

Nice job Green Bay!

We are a bit selective on our management land. I'm a brown and down guy but I have to go by the rules on this ground.
Never raised the gun In 2 days. Very little deer movement and very little shooting In the area.
Now I'm sick as a dog and I'm going to lay up for a few days. Deer hunting Is getting harder and harder for this old buck. The crew even hauled me to my stand on the ATV. But I walked back.
WE have a long deer season I'm sure I'll put some fast food in the freezer. We used to call venison speedy beef but now I call them fast food. I think it fits better.

We saw lots of deer this weekend. I got a buck Saturday morning right away and a couple does yesterday.

Nice buck Jordy! I'll trade you some muskrats for the tenderloins!
