Anybody have luck on Public Land up North yet?

I have not seen a damn deer in 5 all day sits, different areas, fresh sign, etc... I do love my new lone wolf climber though! Just don't think it was meant to sit so many hours not watching deer. It was more meant to be up in Wisconsin hunting 160+ inch bucks. Send me a deer, any deer, just 1 please! I have jumped a couple here and there walking. I might just wait for some colder weather before I burn myself out.

I seen two, heard a few, just never got close enough.

Hunting is hunting unless you're paying to hunt a farm it not that easy getting on the deer. I just shot my doe a week into bow season on public land up north. I have seen deer almost daily, ton of doe no bucks yet.

don't be discouraged. it's still VERY early and warm. Heck 2 years ago you wouldn't even be in the woods yet. One day you'll be in the stand and there will be 4 doe and 3 bucks around you. Like someone flipped a switch. Save your vacation days for the end of October and early November.

Vince,

 

This year is unusually warm.  Last year, I saw plenty of action on the very first day (Oct 1st).  Last year was the first year since I started hunting where they allow bow hunting on Oct 1st.  Before that, bow hunting season didn't start till mid-Oct.

someone on here said that you can learn three times as much in one bow season as you can in one rifle. so you can take anything you learned from that week runs, feed, bedding areas, where the deer seem to be more. etc... you will be more prepared for when the weather does get more favorable. just a brighter side of things.
