Decided to hunt the afternoon on the opening of the Wisconsin deer archery season. Headed for the ladder stand at 3:30PM - got halfway up the ladder and saw the back 2/3d's of a deer at 25 yds. - later turned out to be a fork horned buck that merely wandered off after we decided to inspect each other for 20 min. An hour later a mature doe is broadside at 20 yds. but overhanging foliage prevents an ethical shot. Not 5 minutes later another mature doe is seen on a trail coming my way. It is my time now - so I stand and away her showing herself. Not to be as the undergrowth is too heavy and I lose her in the thicket. While watching for her to come out a fawn of the year walks under my stand and looks up at the 250# squirrel in the tree wearing a red and black checked shirt. She just wasn't right for the first kill so she walks away unknowing of her possible demise. Can't wait until the next evening opportunity.
Good stuff! Plant enough lb seeds, get a good lb harvest.
Wow, that is a tremendous day. I'm excited for ya!
Hang in there! You're getting close! It won't be long until you're posting pictures ;) !
