Anyone hunting on Halloween?
Always....it usually is the best pre-rut nights of the year in Wisc.
I was hoping to be, but I just couldn't make it. I'll be driving.
ohh ya, killed two of my best bucks on Halloween!
I’m giving it a go, I hope nothing too scary happens
@ Grubby - I talked to my uncle Roger tonight. He says there are lots of good bucks around - you may want to check out that spot
Driving up to the Black Hills tomorrow morning to meet a buddy and hunt whitetails for a few days. Will be in a stand by mid-afternoon.
Marty X2^^. One of my favorite days of the season for whitetails.
I would but it’s supposed to be raining, storms and 80 degrees here tomorrow. A lot of sad trick or treaters and sad Bowhunters.
Does pheasant count? ;-)
BTW Errorhead, I chased roosters today. Started out at -4*. It was up to a balmy 9* when I finished. I think we need to meet somewhere in the middle! lol!
Office and kids trick or treating
^^^^ Rob - sure does! I didnt put this under the WT forum :)
No, I'm scared of the dark........................................ ;-)
Want to but working, maybe turkey later this after... supposed to get 2 " rain though. Might go, last day of fall turk. season.
I may try for an evening sit
always use vacation days around holloween usually produces for me
I hear ya Scoot. I've got 2 little girls and they are it.
Working, but the weekend isn't far away.
3-5" of fresh snow here in Wisconsin! Will be in the stand all day tomorrow and Saturday. My kiddos T or T was last Sunday!
Light snow last night. Just finished. Had this guy come by at 45. Too far for me with my compound. But there are two bigger using the same property.
I will be out as well have the perfect wind. And he is close just need him a few hrs earlier.
Pouring down rain here and wind 20-30 mph so no I won’t hunt this Halloween Lewis
Rain and snow here so no. If weather clears up, Ill be in a stand first thing in the morning.
Last night was a total bust so tonight I`m dressing up as a "bowhunter".....hoping to fool a nice buck....or any buck.
I don't wanna talk about it. . .
OK, guess I will. I was super excited this morning. Jumped out of bed at the alarm. Raced down to the hall to get dressed. All the gear was loaded. Made the 20 minute drive to the farm. Unloaded and drove the Ranger in. Had big plans to circle all around. 1 1/2 mile Ranger ride, then a mile walk to come in behind, and get a stand set up.
Headed out on the Ranger, got to the creek. . . . impassable. You have to be kidding me! I'm headed back out soon, gonna try again. I may have to just get nekkid and wade it. It was not wade-able this morning though. Not unless you have a death wish
Mama's taking the little guy out, I did a Trunk or Treat deal with him earlier in the week at a local drive-in, got a couple pockets worth of candy to munch on ; ) Going to a rut spot hoping to see some action. I've left it alone all season waiting for this day/weekend. Good luck fellas!
Yep, 3" of fresh snow and I will be 15' up here in a few hours, its prime time here in IA!
Yep, taking my granddaughter hunting.... for candy. Can’t wait till she gets some Booner candy bars. Mmmm chocolate!!!
Just got done with Halloween sit it was a treat for sure lots of movement just not the right one but beautiful night great to be in a tree.
Close, but no jack-o-lantern for me this morning. Had a dandy 10 pointer at 60 yards, but he followed a doe out of my life....for now. Maybe tomorrow morning.
Saw all the possible shooters I’m aware of last night but no candy for me. 2 went right under another of my stands 80 yards north. The biggest is bigger than I thought from pics and this is the closest look I’ve gotten at him. It was a fun night.
Bake... I feel your pain! Two of my best sets are across a creek. We had 7" of rain down there last week this time. It usually takes about 9-10 days without rain to become cross-able once again. That should be Monday or Tuesday, hopefully. Thinking I need some thigh high waders. Off for 9 days starting at 1 pm today!
I did fill my doe tag last night. No bucks to be found yet.
First one with my new shoulder. :)
Should have took today off damn!!!
Embry—ALL of my stands are across this creek. ;)
I made it across about noon. But it was a close thing. My UTV was floating downstream before I got wheels back in gravel
Bake
5x5 dressed out at 200. 15 yard shot and went 60 yards.

Did a little trick or treating last night myself.
Well new phone don't know what happened...
Apparently you killed a deer , must be windy for him to blow horizontal like that
Very nice deer walks congratulations
Awesome, Russ! Were you pulling a wheelie driving that thing out?
Russell, do you have any better pics of that winch system?
I do as soon as I figger out this new phone.. It goes in the receiver hitch and it is also tied into the rear roll bar for support. It is not supported by the ground so you just winch them up and drive off. This one's back hooves were dragging a little.
Neighbors buck a week or so ago.

A pic or two of the Buck Wrecker.
Sorry for the sore necks... I'm getting too old for technology I guess..
I tend to enjoy Halloween bucks
When I feel like I have a good thing going I don’t let it lapse... 2 P&Y bucks in a row
This year my best buddy up north had never taken a buck before (regardless of weapon or species)... he killed a stud buck on the 30th but I don’t break rules. Ready for my next Halloween buck but it won’t come in 2019
I hunted Elk and I enjoyed being on the mountain instead of home handing out candy.
No problems from the Trick of the Trick or Treat older kids......when I got home.
Good luck, Robb
