Opener is coming!

[Leech~~]

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!

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. gotta fight him for cabin time! actually we get along better now then ever before!

That's what I was wondering.  It must be a 4 1/2hr drive up there or more from his Wis, home?

About 5.

About 5.

Dang, 5hrs to a cabin.  I would just give it to you!      

[Pulleye16]

We can all guess which one Glenn shot…🤣

Jk. Congrats! And if you feel like donating a little meat…😉

leech... he rarely goes up there unless he stays at least 7-10 days. Mn deer opener he was there 5 days.  So when he does go up he makes trip worthwhile

Brother and I talked about this last night. We've hunted sunrise to sunset everyday since opener and never seen a buck??

Thinking there in the swamp resting there willy,s after chasing wemen for weeks on end?

[HD]

3 out of the 5 bucks we harvested where in the swamp. The other 2 were skirting the edges.

[glenn57]

Back in the stands, we have 2 buck tags 2 anterless tags. Our mission and we chose to do it,  is 2 more deer.

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'.   

[glenn57]

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.

[Boar]

Wellbtalk about ol stinky and glenn showes up. Wierd...

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.

No wonder he doesn't see much, he's always bustin our chops.....

[HD]

4 in the back yard right now

[glenn57]

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,  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

[HD]

We just skun 46. We won't cut them till Monday.

It really drops off now except for the bow hunters and muzzleloader.
