I get to do the thing I love most over the next 4 consecutive days. Deer hunt! This is the 3rd year in which Wisconsin is holding a 4-day early season aimed at reducing the estimated 1.6 million population. It's a doe only hunt but that's fine because for me it's all about the hunt, not the rack. I'll be sitting motionless 16 feet up a tree an hour before sunup freezing my you know what off. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Wish me luck. |

The CWD is a concern, but I've made up my mind that I'm not going to let it stop me from hunting. I have options, like giving the deer to friends or family who may want it, and if worse comes to worse I'll give it to the DNR for testing. Heck, I'd bet that after registering it at the gas station all I'd have to do is ask some stranger if he wanted it and I'm sure someone would. So what does everyone carry? I use a scoped Browning BAR in .30-06. I'm seriously considering bringing my Ruger Super RedHawk in 44 mag. Where I hunt it's thick. Plenty of opportunities for a shot under 50 yards with a scoped revolver. |
