I can't help you but that is so cool!

Congrats, that'll get the heart pumping!

Is that a real picture in the creek?

This might be a first, congrats!

Not quite live but had a fun hunt tonight. The right buck didn't show but they were chasing.

I've done almost exactly that on several occasions and will continue to in the future. In fact, as I type this, I can see the skulls of 2 different 125-135 class 8 points and 1-148" 8 point I killed. Every one of those deer were killed on years where I passed younger bucks with much bigger racks.

If you allowed landowners to call the shots in Iowa, farmers would have wiped the herd out long ago.

It happens in NW Iowa, I would sure think it could happen in Wisconsin.

FYI, I'm a little wary of putting foam under a pole barn slab unless you are going to trench in a perimeter footing and insulate that as well. Without the building heat to warm under the slab, frost can creep under the perimeter and start pushing up on the slab. This can wreak havoc on the building.

If you are letting other people shoot whatever they want I see no sense in not letting yourself take a doe for the freezer. One deer will not make or break the situation.

I'm sorry to read that. He was one of the good ones in the world.

I hope they nail them to the wall. I despise a thief, boils my blood.
