Glad to hear it, but I’ve witnessed the DNR with their heads in the sand about the deer population. My husband and sons gave up hunting in Florence County a number of years ago when the herd was decimated by wolves. The DNR refused to acknowledge that the wolves existed in WI, despite ample visual and tracking evidence to the contrary. My husband and sons now hunt in Northern Missouri at a private game farm they know about there. Hubby is leaving Sat. for his annual trip, despite the fact that we have about 20 deer running around on our property, including a beautiful 8 pointer. We give permission for someone else to bow hunt here (although shotguns are allowed.) The bow hunters have taken quite a few deer from my back yard. I just insist that they know the difference between a horse, or a dog, and a deer (there is a stable behind me.)
Yes, knowing what you’re aiming at SHOULD be a priority, LOL!
Beau is in CO Elk hunting. He’s giddy as a Schoolgirl. They’re having a blast, but they all only have tags for Bucks, which are less populous than the females, of course.
He’s thinking today will be the day, as there was 16 inches of snow in the hills that will drive them down to where they’re hunting. So far he’s seen thousands of Elk, hundreds of Mule Deer and a few dozen Antelope. It’s pretty cool! :)
