Swattin' them like mosquitoes?
Not here in Lincoln Co forest. Even the mosquitoes are gone.
This is public land and they've t-zoned the crap out of it the past 5 or6 years. Between the bears and the wolves the numbers are down. We scouted all day long. Walked a crapload of miles using a gps plus knowing this area from the past 18 years of coming up here and there is some deer sign but hardly any like it used to be. In fact, we saw some bear poop and I took a couple of pictures of wolf tracks that were the size of a large german shepard. Glad I pack my 44mag while I wander around the woods. :eyes:
I forgot my cable to attach the camera to the laptop so I have to wait until I get home to post those.
Trem/Buffalo co is known as the big buck area. Quite a few record bucks come out of there.
And about the DNR...um, yeah. I think they over-estimate things a tad. Although, I think the light is finally coming on for them. They offer at least 3 or 4 thousand bonus tags for area 52 every year...except this year they only had about 1600 which went like hotcakes the minute they went on sale. I've got some doe in heat pee. Let's see if a stupid little guy falls for it. The locals seem to believe the rut started a little later this year. Won't hurt to lay some out.
I really just love being up here. I try to come up here 2 or 3 times a year. Do some ice fishing and hang with the ol' hunting gang, play cards, drink and lie our azzez off! Plus I get to spend some time with my brother that I don't get to do very often. Good times.
Hey Tyler! Do you get to do any hunting between chores and such?
Thank God for the outdoor channel! Reminds me what the deer look like if I were rich and hunting private reserves. :looney:
