I don't have the pictures on this computer but we did get 2 bucks. Conditions were great but we did not see many deer. Day 1 we saw 2 bucks and killed them both. Brother in law shot an 11pt and I shot a 7pt. Both came to rattling so that was cool. I thought mine was an 8 but it didn't...
My dad is coming up today and my wife is also joining us for the first time during rifle season. I hope one of them get a deer. I really don't care about my tag. This hunt is about my dad and wife.
Gotta love WI rifle opener and all the memories over the past years.
Tonight is the...
I'm not sure about that. Our laws don't allow vegetation to be in the catch circle to avoid any entanglement. We can only use them from Dec 1 to Feb 15. I like using them in tall grass so I can blend them in. If conditions are right, they are a great tool.
We can use cable restraints in WI. We have 24 hour check law on them. I don't know if I would want a longer time period with coyotes, they will chew on that cable until they are free. I went from 7x7 cable to 1x19 and that helps a lot on chew outs!!!!
Awesome trap line!!!
I'm trying to get my wife into rifle hunting and hopefully an out of state hunt. I'm thinking about getting a suppressor for the .243 that I have. I know that the .243 would super quiet and have very little recoil after a suppressor was added. For those of you that have one, what kind do you...
I'm going to bump this one up!! 2 weeks from today we roll west. Looks like the snow is gone for now and the temps are returning to normal this week. I hope they are still moving in 2 weeks!! I can't wait.
Thanks for all the help. I know if I get creative, I can find a few hunts to look into. I'm open to a lot of ideas. The AZ Coues sounds fun. I beleive that Alaska might be the place to really look. Mnt. Goat, Sitka deer and bear migth be open in August.
I'm not really interested in bears...
As you can tell by my handle, I'm a teacher. I teach Special Education in northern WI. I try to do an out of state hunt each year but it is tricky with my schedule/calander. I get to take a full week off every 3 years so those are going towards elk hunts. I have done a quick 3 day antelope...
My 7wsm will be arriving from the smith soon. I have a good supply of RL-22 and H4831sc on hand. I'm currenly sitting on some 150 Partitions, 150 Balistic Tips, 162 ELD-X and 175 ELD-X bullets. My hope is to create a 500 yard hunting rifle for elk/deer/antelope.
Any recommendations on...
Question about the logging layer on Onx. How old of a cut would you recommend hunting. I'm seeing some cuts from 2008 and older. I'm guessing cuts that are 1-3 years old would be best.
