Well home safe and sound. 13 1/2 hour drive home. Not too bad i suppose. Passed thru a lot of good looking land in southern Wisconsin.
Orion I found everything you said to be true.
I've hunted it 2 years in a row now without drawing my bow back. That's hard hunting when you are used to seeing deer nearly every day. I called my bro on the way home this evening. He hunted last night and had one small buck and 6 flatheads in shooting distance..more chances than 4 of us had in Wisc in 6 days of hunting mornings and evenings. My hat is off to those who can take deer out of there on a regular basis.
But..the week wasn't just about hunting it was about visiting George, lounging in his beautiful cabin by the lake, making and eating lots of good food and seeing lots of beautiful scenery. In that respect it was a Boone and Crockett huting trip.
I'll post some pics tomorrow. Haven't even unpacked the truck yet and the camera is outside.
Good to be home.
Frank and Shell...did you hear me yell out the window when we passed by? LOL

The shrooms were out in force. For some reason I love taking pictures of shrooms. George mentioned that he thought it had something to do with my time in the 60's

we took our chocolate lab "Sage" (short for sweet osage) with us on this trip
He really enjoyed "scouting" and accompanying us while we shot stumps mid day.The ticks were awful both wood ticks and deer ticks and we picked a bunch off of him. Poor dog, he's never had a flea or tick before. Picked a bunch of the little deer ticks off of us too! YUK

Ferret, sounds like you had a great time anyway. Hope you don't give up on the great northwoods. I have found that most everything I knew (or thought I knew) about hunting in TX didn't apply when I moved up here. I'm still trying to figure it all out.

Glad the Lotz clan made it home safely...and in record time. Yep, it was a Boone and Crockett hunt as far as good company, good friends, good food and a fine time was concerned. These northern woods are BIG, as earlier said the hunting is hard and these deer are skittish as all getout, the wolves keep 'em on their toes . Up here, unless you do drives with guns, a nice deer taken with a stick and string is a real trophy no matter the size. The bucks'll be goofy in a week or so chances are better then. Mickey, ya have some fine pictures there, I hope ya post a few more....Dano, he DOES have a shroom fixation, don't know what thats all about But I do know he had long hair...when he had hair LOL Mic, I found a familiar looking brown wool hat in my driveway this morning, I'll mail it along to you. Can't remember ever hunting with you when you wern't wearing it.
