WI 2023 Gun Season
Now we’re at the point where I attempted to start the first thread. I took the shot and recovered from the recoil. He was moving like I missed. The shot felt good - how was this possible? But you know what they say, if he’s not dyin lead’s still flyin. I sent another one. Coincidentally... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
My guess was either a coyote or a buck had them on the move. At this point, either was one was likely to get the business from me. I scanned the tree line infront of me. Finally, I caught a flash, and then another. Whatever it was was also moving west to east. Based on the way the does were... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
Back to the hunt. Unfortunately my Dad had had a slow morning. The spot he was watching was a bit of corner in the field. Two weeks earlier I watched some does come out of that corner and eventually an eight pointer came out and pushed them around. I was hoping for replay. Now that my... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
Well, come to find out this guy was in fact the neighbor and knew the landowner. He did not have permission to gun hunt on the property. He indicated he was on his property. I pulled OnX and pointed out the tree he was in was four times the circumference of any other tree we could see from... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
About 45 minutes after the first deer showed up I looked over to my left. A doe and fawn had stepped out and were moving across the field south to north. I texted my Dad, but he didn’t see them. For those of you keeping score at home, that puts it just before 9 am. I was still trying to... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
Repositioned. I spent the next hour plus watching for deer that never showed. Just a tom at fly down and a house cat meandering through. All the while I passed the time deciding whether to confront this guy and what to say if I did. And of course I sent angry texts to all my buddies about... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
On the bright side, it’s opening morning! I was in before shooting light, temperatures were just about right, and skies were clear. I had my gun set up in the tripod and pointed in a safe direction. This direction was also the area I was most likely to have a shot. All very important given... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
I’m going to blow my brains out. Everybody and their brother wants to take a shortcut up the bleachers right next to me. I’m junking my bottle of water at this point because about two dozen people have either kicked it moved it for me - WTF! And what the hell is with $3 for a heat sheet -... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
We got to my spot and I worked as quickly as I could, but things just take time. As soon as I was set up we went 300 yards back up the fenceline and got my Dad set up. I got the UTV positioned just right, set the shooting sticks, and loaded him up. Then it was time to hoof it back to my... -
WI 2023 Gun Season
Well, I had started to write this up from the blind during season, but life happened and I never got much done. Now I’m sitting at a swim meet so I’ve got a good four hours to get this done. I’ll start back at the top. Gun season here always opens the Saturday before thanksgiving. That... -
First World Problem - Would You Buy Land Right Now??
I’ve watched recreational land prices here in WI for almost 20 years. Prices have never come down. Occasionally you can get a bit of a deal due to a distressed situation, but that’s property specific. If you like it and you’re confident you’re paying a fair price - buy it. Market prices may...- NEWHunter

2024 Wyoming Pronghorn Special Draw fee effects
The real question isn’t how many guys will pay $1,200 for a decent tag. The question is: how many people will pay $1,200 for a second choice tag. I’m giving some hard thoughts to adding a second choice to the special application too. I’m not made of money, but there are some things I will... -
Costco gas
Nothing special about the gas. Although in our part of WI they are consistently $0.20-$0.30/gallon cheaper. Which is real money. They take Visa and the pumps are categorized as gas so my DU Visa card gets me 5% back on the purchase. That math makes sense for my pocket book.- NEWHunter

Rabbits for a Cause
So, all in all it was a great day. I combined two very meaningful activities - hunting and charity. I know that stories and pictures of our hunt brightened the day of several people fighting MS. The money donated will hopefully help get us just that tiny little bit closer to more treatments...- NEWHunter

Rabbits for a Cause
And just like that things turned. Our teammate hollered and almost as quickly started shooting. I looked but couldn’t see the rabbit. The bunny was moving down the fence line fast. We took off after him. I finally caught a glimpse of the tail but didn’t have a shot. Our teammate shot...- NEWHunter

Rabbits for a Cause
The guy I had hoped would join us had a change of plans and was going to be able to get out for a bit. Knowing this, I left the couple of better spots on the property alone until he could arrive. After we we had our drink, we met up with our third teammate. Given it was getting later in the...- NEWHunter
