Last week I headed home to see family and friends. I was looking forward to hunting some old stomping grounds with some friends and my Father and brothers.

1st Morning:

I head out with my best pal Dan to a property he purchased last year. its 20 acres and close to home.  Its a crisp morning and already this year he has killed 2 deer there. No one has hunted there for 2 weeks and the rut is starting   :goldtooth:   Last year he arrowed a nice chocolate horn 12 point.
Its dark and I can hear deer walking all round me.  After the sun comes up and at 10 am my buddy came over and informed me it was 3 does.  As we walk out, Its all deer trails. This woods is loaded. Its a small peninsula that is oaks and pines surrounded by swamp and marsh.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

1st night in Wisconsin, My brothers father and I made Sausage.  I apologize if all the deer meat wasnt killed with a bow but its all mixed together.

We started making Bratwurst hot dogs and Kielbasa about 14 years ago and is something we do together every year.

This night we made about 100 lbs. Our recipes have finally become incredible.

Day 2 afternoon:

I went to the woods with my Dad. We headed over to my grandfathers woods. This woods was wide open and the deer tend to come through just before dark or after dark.

It was quite warm, 65 degrees as we headed across the cut corn and to the woods.  I was in an area where my little brother killed his 1st buck with a bow several weeks back.

My father was headed to a small pond that sits back in the woods.

as I was slowly walking in, I had a small deer nearly run me over. I couldn't get it to stop but I had a hand on an arrow and was ready for action!

Cool. 1st deer spotted   :bigsmyl:  

My father had bumped it.

I had looked around but couldnt find decent cover.I checked the wind and built a blind.  after sitting down the wind changed. CRAP!  

I jumped up and sat in a new spot about 15 yards away. turns out there was a branch I had found that my little brother cut and it had a bunch of leaves still on it.  I bunjied  it to a tree and had instant cover between two larger trees.  One I could see marks from a climber on, must have been where my little brother was sitting.

This spot, the deer come frm across the road. usually when cars hit their brakes, its a good sign.  well as some deer were gearing up to come across a fellow decided it was time to shoot his rifle quite close. it was the guy who bought my grandfathers house.

as we headed out of the woods it was still 65 degrees,  Thursdays cold snap aught to get deer up and moving.

I headed inside the old farm house where i was born  and visited with grandpa.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Looks like you broke a perfectly good Bear broadhead. What a shame!   :bigsmyl:

Keep it coming Charlie!  I know how much you were looking forward to this trip.  From the looks of that arrow it must have been a good one.
