Wisconsin Deer Gun Hunt

[pjc]

This Saturday begins Wisconsin's Traditional Nine Day White Tail Deer Gun Hunt. Hope ALL have a safe and enjoyable time. I will be here:<br />

<br />with my brother Tim and our bud John. I will again use my trusty sported K98 1944 JP Saur Fascist Nazi 8x57 Mauser:<br />

<br /><br />Good Luck and best to all!

Good deal Pat, you fascist you. Looks like a regular tashmajal you'll be staying at. Our rifle season starts the monday after thanksgiving. Didnt score in archery season so I scheduled the first two days to gun hunt. I'll stay local in the shotgun area. The remington 1100 with 2 3/4 slug will do nicely. I passed on a few decent bucks in archery waiting for a crack at a nice buck I have been watching. I'll have a bit more range with the gun.<br /><br />Good luck Pat and kill a bigun.

Re: Wisconsin Deer Gun Hunt

Best to you as well Flahthead. Hope to see great buck first, then take him. Since I don't bow hunt, I must hope for the best during gun season.<br /><br />BTW, recall that tensioner shoe deal I answered with as much PC as I could some time ago is indeed a concern. Remember that from way back when? I can speak to that now.

Re: Wisconsin Deer Gun Hunt

Hey everyone GOOD LUCK. <br /><br />Our season started this past Saturday with "new" regulations in place. A buck has to have 3 points or more....no does and no spikes. Well as luck would have it my crew of 5 we saw a total of about 17 deer in 4 days of hard hunting and two were spikes.... not a shot was fired.<br /><br />Yesterday morning I was sitting and a big animal was coming my way and sure enough a 500-600 lb cow moose was traveling through the woods.<br /><br />The neighboring camp was visited by a pair of bears at midnight and the bears promptly demonstrated that coleman coolers are no match for a bear. The bear were scared off (after a warning shot but not hit).<br /><br />Deer camp, good food, great friends, cards, beer, and we really rough it... gas lights, running water (with a water heater), wood stove, oh a generator for the color tv so we can watch the late football games it just worth it.

Our gun season started in late Oct. and goes until the first sunday in Dec. I have only been out three times for only an hour or so each time. I seen a crotch horn in my back yard but the deer are getting few and far between around here.

Re: Wisconsin Deer Gun Hunt

Hey PJC - where is your cottage? Presumably "up north" since everyone in Wisconsin goes "up north"<br /><br />Sean

Re: Wisconsin Deer Gun Hunt

In my county in Virginia the limit is: "The bag limit for deer for all hunters shall be two a day, six a license year, three of which must be antlerless." Bonus tags are available<br /><br />Rifle season lasts from this 11/19 to January 7.<br /><br />Typical for an area with too many deer.<br /><br />Jinx

Re: Wisconsin Deer Gun Hunt

The deer seem to be getting a bit more scarce around here, also. PA went to a QDM system and they want us to shoot about as many does as we can, but no bucks unless they have 3 points or more on 1 side. <br /><br />The second year we saw a lot of buck, nice buck, but it seems to be declining a bit. Used to see 50 deer a day, now we are seeing 5 - 10 deer per day.<br /><br />Am looking forward to the 28th. Have most of the first week "off" and a good portion of the second week. It should be a fun time regardless of what we see. After all, I use my boat more in those 2 weeks then I do at any other time of the year! It is so much fun doing 40mph in a bass boat with no protection from the wind in sub-freezing temps! Now that is boating at its finest!<br /><br />By the way, I have 3 doe tags and 1 buck tag - should end up with some meat in the deep freeze!
