My 70 year old father's deer. Sorry for the bad picture... the last few years he's really nocked them down and I get the privilege of gutting them out for him.

Another great buck!
70 yr olds get a free pass when it comes cleaning things they shoot :)

Deer hunting has been really slow but I filled my IL inaugural lottery bobcat tag this morning. In search of good cat taxidermist.

I have no first hand knowledge but Stu says that's some of the best tasting meat out there. Nice cat!

I can tell you one thing that cat stunk to the hills. Cat blood yuk. First one I have smelled but I would rather get gut shot deer blood on me than that again.

From what I understand, most weasel in Wisconsin turn white in winter. ..I'm not sure about the pine marten. .long tail,short tail,and least weasels do.

That's a cool looking critter!This is either a Least Weasel or short tail weasel I saw this morning.

DNR biologist believes it is a Least Weasel based on the tail that is visible in another photo.

Muzzle Loader season has started here. I really like ML as all the pretenders, wannabes, and idiots
I hunted this afternoon for 3 hours. Tried to be on lower marsh bedding before they moved into transition and then into the feeding areas. Saw nothing in bedding area transition and all of the movement was in upper woods and transition before the cut corn. Decided to leave the lower marsh stand and walk at closing back up to field edge and pre-feeding transition. Not one deer was sited on 30 acres of cut corn ... pretty amazing given our population.
The bucks are now still in rut mode as the 1st two bucks were scent checking bedding areas at 2:20 pm.
Towards closing heard two sets of shooting ... one was 3 shoots about 2 seconds apart, the bnext was 2 shots at 3 seconds apart. I think I need to look for ML that has a clip ... great that our DNR has created a program for cheaters ...

What are your thoughts on Sabots?

Not live from the stand but close... wish I had kept filming as right after I stopped the fawn separated from the doe, and the fawn flirted by looking towards the buck just enough to stop the young buck from eating... he started a slow walk chase with a grunt or two before the doe playfully ran into the woods. Thinking the fawn must have been the doe's first and conceived quite late in last years season... other fawns visiting our place lost their spots months ago.

You're out there for that view. Nothing like hunting in fresh snow.
