Any word on the WTA Fall Hunt?

I was with WTA member Ron Lang hunting turkeys in Door cty this weekend. We saw many but they were too far and I am pretty sure whipping us the bird.

Lol Greg. I hunted this past weekend. Saw a spike and doe, no shot at either.

Had an encounter with a 130+ buck at 15 yards a few weeks ago, only offered a sharp quartering to shot before he was gone. Otherwise I had opportunities at another spike and numerous does. It's been a slow early season here.

Went to the farm this weekend to hang stands. Pretty windy. Makes hanging from trees hairy.

Snuck out this afternoon for a few hours. Sat in a ravine near bedding so I'd be out of the 40 mph wind gusts.

Saw a couple does. And had something snort down wind over the ridge from me.

Scrapes and rubs are everywhere

Had a nice 10 work a scrape 33 yards away from me yesterday but he walked away from me following a group of does. Scrapes and rubs are also everywhere here in Northwest Wisconsin.

I agree Greg, also note deer are starting to show up laying on the roads, mostly small bucks. Usually also a great sign they are rutting more.

Greg Szalewski · « **Reply #28 on:** October 22, 2018, 03:02:29 PM »

Ron Lang took one of them out of circulation this morning with a pointy stick.

Good deal, congrats Ron. I am getting reports deer are moving good. Lots of smaller bucks chasing does and lots of grunting going on.

I've been getting out quite a bit and seeing plenty of deer. Really wanting to shoot a doe but they are giving me fits while the smaller bucks visit daily. Lots of close encounters with those guys, but still waiting on "the one ".

I no sooner hit submit on the post above and this guy walked out.
Stop teasing me!

Had bucks running and grunting all over tonight. I was sitting on public land. Was pretty exciting but ran out of daylight

Before going out tonight, I made the decision that any shot offered on a mature deer would be taken as hunting opportunities for me will be limited until late season. Tonight I was covered with deer, at one point I had seven all around me from 7 to 25 yards. A large doe was the deer at 7 yards, lined up perfect, took the shot and......forgot to make sure that my bottom limb was clear. Smacked the tree, sailed the arrow and had all of the deer snorting. Couldn't help but chuckle as everything walked off.

2:00 Friday afternoon I snuck in near bedding and started setting up. 2 sticks up the tree strapping on the 3rd, a decent 8 point stands up from a bed 50 yards off, and walks right by me, browsing all the way. Closest point was 10 yards down wind, never knew I was there. Had to hang from that second stick for a good half hour while he worked his way out of the area.

Sunday morning I took advantage of the rain and did some scouting on a piece of public I haven't hunted yet. I bumped a 6 point and a doe, and found good active trails, but no rubs that I could find. Same deal on my private land.

I sat yesterday afternoon, had a couple deer working their way toward me but the steady northwest wind shifted to Northeast for just long enough to get busted

Hey, I know that guy........you need to wash your face.........

Cyclic-Rivers · « **Reply #38 on:** November 11, 2018, 09:39:57 AM »

This early season goes by way too fast. I had a couple hours to sit this morning. 20 degrees and comfortable until my toes became cold. No deer seen. I see they came past the stand last night by the tracks in the snow. Also saw a deer walked through at 80 yards but turned south. (he walked down the driveway) lol. Couldn't see him.

stik&string · « **Reply #39 on:** November 11, 2018, 07:14:23 PM »

I agree, early season goes way too fast. Sat from 2:00 pm to dark tonight on the edge of where the woods goes from deciduous to a pine plantation. Saw 9 deer, including a grunting spike, but they zigged when I sat up for them to zag. All out of range.

I also was not the only predator looking for a meal.
