We had to wait until day 4 and 5 of the season to hunt the stand but it was worth it. In the two nights we hunted it, we saw 3 bears.
I've learned to never hunt a questionable wind and to have 2 stands/blinds at each bait. It might be extra work setting them, but I think that it would be...
My wife was able to draw her second bear tag after a 6 year wait here in WI. We ran 3 baits all summer and had some monster bears hitting in July/August but as the corn came ripe and the acorns started to fall those big bears disapeared. After 4 sits and seeing 9 bears (sow and 3 cubs and 5...
My wife shot a beautiful bear last night that weighe 323 live weight. She doesn't know what to do with the hide. As of now, it is skinned for taxidermy and in the freezer. If you have any neat ideas please post them.
It is never to early to start dreaming of a hunt. If you were to go on a guided Canadian moose hunt, what providince would you go to and what guide would you use? I would like to start looking and talking to guides after their fall seasons are done and talk about a hunt in 2024.
The access to the stand is from a field. They will have no clue we are walking into the stand for the evening hunt. We will get in the ladder stand and be set up in 5 minutes.
Season opens Sept. 9 and my best bait is getting hit but I don't know if I should hunt it opening night. The bait is 19 yards from the stand. The bait is down a slight hill in a creek bottom. From the stand the bait is NNW. The wind tomorrow afternoon is SSW 0-3 mph. So, would you hunt the...
I'm using cookie dough with different scents around the bait like oil, fruity sprays and anise powder. I also put a glob of frosting in the stump for the first bear as a reward for getting there first. I'm baiting everyday right at first light too.
Wisconsin bear season opens September 9th. Like evey year, the baits were doing well but then the acorns and corn started to ripen. 1 of my 3 baits really slowed down. The other two are spotty. I'm trying everything trick I can think of to keep them coming. This year, my wife has the tag so...
I hunt in the northern part of the state right on the edge of farm country and the big woods. I know what it is like to sit all weekend in a tree stand and see 1 tail of a deer. I'm looking forward so seeing some deer everyday of the hunt.
I drew a WT rifle tag for the BH this year as well. It will be my first time hunting out there. My wife and I took a short vacation out there this summer. In a few hours of scouting/driving, we saw on average 5-10 deer an hour and that was durning the middle of the day. Honestly, I really...
I'm planning on hunting the Black Hills during rifle season. The hope is to go out over Thanksgiving week. Thinking about staying in Hill City or Deadwood/Lead.
