RE: October Better?
After wishing our season opened up earlier than it does, I know have come to the realization that instead of opening when it does, I wish it ran another week. This year our 6 week season will end on my bday, Nov 10th. Even if I have my tag filled, I wish it ran until that following Saturday.

RE: October Better?
I'm in central WI and it has been awful so far, way worse than any other year I can remember. I have a "sure thing" stand that I have always counted on to at least see "a" deer, I've sat in it 3 times and haven't seen a thing. So far the biggest buck I've seen is a 1 1/2 year old 7 point. Had some great trail cam pics of a wide 10 point and high 8 point and 1 pic that had 4 different bucks in it, haven't seen them since the end of August. October can only be betterthan September.

I have been seeing Lots of does on our land, way more than usual. My brother in law and I have already taken three. I had a very nice high eight under my stand on opening morning, but couldnt shoot since we are in earn a buck. But it seems like I'm seeing more than usual. I'm sure it will get nothing but better the closer we get to november. Good luck to you all.

Since I hunt only a few miles from wis_bow_huntrI can say the same thing. I only saw about half the deer that I saw last year and the the year before. I did see a mature buck last Saturday night but he was about 100 yards out. I was not around for opening day but my nieghbors wifr shot a small 8 and it was 1 of 4 deer that she saw.
This happens every year we have acorns and it seems you can't find a deer even if you hunt the oaks.I know most of the acorns are gone so this should get back together soon.
