No Quota bear area.

Buck, doe, bear whatever.

[Rippinlip]

I will be missing the opener weekend, we are going to the Air Show in Eau Claire to watch the Blue Angels. Otherwise pretty close to home on a family friends farm and some local public hunting grounds.

[USPENAMC]

sounds like everyone is getting pretty excited... i think thats an understatement

[paceman]

I wish I could go but I am in two golf tourneys that weekend. However I might take monday off and call that my opener if the weather is favorable....

[MNmikew]

Shell lake, Wi. Lots of real nice bucks on cameras this year.

[Christopher Quast]

Metro. I can hunt at the nature preserve at my workplace. Then MBRB, then maybe up at my Pine County land. I'm overstocked with places to hunt.

Sounds like you have a really bad problem on your hands Sure wish I could say that!

[USPENAMC]

one day closer to opening ive been oiling my cams, my string, practicing and still deciding where i am going. going through different scenarios in my head to mentally prepare...

[BradB]

Sounds like you have a really bad problem on your hands Sure wish I could say that!

Yes, and it gets even worse! My relatives in Rochester are asking me to come down there and shoot the deer in their yard.

For purposes of fairness, however, I must admit that I spent 6 unsuccessful years hunting a 5 acre parcel that was adjacent to many other hunted 5 acre parcels. It's only as my beard has grayed that I've gained more and more access.

HOW is the deer movement in your area.

Do you have a SPECIFIC target you are looking forward to seeing in your sights. Or are you going out there and hoping for the best.

Are you packed Yet?

What are you missing?

How far away from home are you going?

Private or Public Land

looks like saturday will be the hottest day of this week i wanted at least 30 degrees ha ha ha... lets get out there and enjoy it.

[bigbucks]

I'm headed out to my Uncle's place with my cousins, 4 miles from home for the morning. Have a wedding in the afternoon, but if it's not too warm I hope to sneak out again in the evening either there or at home.

Acorns & water will probably be my target spot to start with.

[vister]

hands down, bow opener before golf!

[USPENAMC]

3 days and a wake up/ drive a few hours and either north on 169 or south on 52 still have to decide? Ill make it a last minute decision. stop by a fast food restaurant get some coffee and some breakfeast get to the woods get my brothers stand set up and strapped in right. then ill go get mine and set it up.
