:rotflmao: i should wait. Andv1 on the floor.
Is it just you and your brother there doing all the skinning and cutting?  Well at least the temps dropped, so if you didn't drip some odd deer body fluids that have been dripped on deer meat since the first caveman poked one with a stick!  You should have some time and be good to go!   :happy1: :happy1:

yes he's a full blooded cheese head.  I'm guessing 20 years. Works for securitas security.

Says he's retiring next Oct.  I have a problem with that. :confused: gotta fight him for cabin time! :rotflmao: actually we get along better now then ever before! :happy1:

Which county are you hunting in?  Are you in a Metro Harvest Zone that they give you all those extra tags, or have you been buying bonus antlerless tags ($12 resident / $20 non-resident)?
I burned my buck tag on ol' 'Stinky'.   :pouty:

My license says zone 2 Marathon cty. Brother bought all the anterless tags for 12 bucks. Each, he's a resident 

When we get out license we get a buck and anterless automatically.  Linda weird though,  you have to declare public or private for the anterless tags.

Good, there was only one case of CWD in Marathon County in 2023.  WI DNR and deer hunters have learned to live with CWD.  Testing is easy and free.  (Well, you pay for it with the license.)  You can even just cut the head off, leave it at a drop station, and they'll do what they need to do - or you can pull the lymph nodes yourself (which is also easy - especially if you are used to processing your own deer.)

Most of the affected CWD areas are SW of a line between Wisconsin Dells and Madison, but cases are starting to pop up towards the north.  The DNR is asking hunters to turn in samples from areas all over the state - especially those that didn't have it before - to monitor the spread.

Minnesota deer hunters are going to have to live with CWD too, but the MN DNR doesn't want to admit that yet.

I'm going out tomorrow again.  We've got one buck and one bonus antlerless tag.  Still debating if we should purchase another $12 insurance policy.

Got trimmings done for sausage.  Back out now. 1 more would be great, but if a second one happens along... I guess.

2 old, really wise deer hunters, brother and I,  :rotflmao: :happy1: figured we didn't see anything last night  cause the sun was out and bright. Our years of experience figured they tend to venture out later

So I do have one more question that springs from our Wisconsin hunt.  :bambi: :bambi: :Deer: :bambi: :bambi:

The landowner who gives us permission to reduce the herd wants us to shoot doe.  We took four antlerless deer and all of them were nubbin' bucks where there was no antler erupted through the hide.  Two of them were very small, obviously 2024 springtime fawns.  However, two of them were larger, maybe weighing up to 80 or 90 lbs.  :confused:  Anyway, they were considerably larger and made me wonder if the larger ones were also born this spring.  My question is this.

Do all bucks grow spike antlers in their second year, or can some of them still sport have during their sophomore season?   :scratch:
