I've had pretty good success in BO, but I have gone days and not seen any deer. I took 2 out of there last year, and hunted 3 days.

I voted yes, but was under the impression that it was a voluntary contribution. If this is a mandatory contribution I think that it ought to be added on to our drivers license fees. At least that way everyone in the state will be supporting the program.

Yeah Dave I have a couple of other spots, but this is the one that is all woods and affords the best hunting opportunities. I should be able to get back in in a year or 2. I am going to ask again next year and I can get on the land without going to the house and making the dogs bark.

Saturday morning I saw 3 does as I walked across the field got to a spot just over the hill where I could shoot the logging road. I had a spike and a basket 8 come down from behind me, and hang out for about 30 minutes. The other 2 bucks stayed on top of the hill all I could see of them was from the neck up. One was another basket 8 and the other was thick and wide, but not real tall 8. He would have filled my tag if he would have given me the chance.

Well, the landowner told me at church today that another guy that had hunted the land before had gotten permission again, and gut shot a deer on Thursday and was told that he could come back on Friday to look for it. But this guy carried his bow with him and shot another deer still not finding the first. Landowner was upset and decided that they were taking at least this year off. (His wife is pregnant, and they already have 5 kids, and the dogs go nuts when I get there) So come to find out it wasn't through any fault of my own, but the thoughtlessness of another, that had shot at least 3 deer three years ago on this same land that he couldn't find. Land owner should have known better.

Well I just got off of the phone with the landowner and he said that they had someone hunting there last year and it just wasn't working out. I was the only one hunting his property last year!! I didn't litter or leave anything lying around. The only reason that I can possibly think of is that his wife got tired of the dogs barking when I would get there. This is a fine time to tell me. I just spoke to him 4 weeks ago at church. He could have mentioned it then. When I spoke to him he said to call him on Friday evenings and see if they were cutting wood and I could come help. I called tonight to see if they were cutting tomorrow as this was the first Saturday that I had off of work.

Pack a lunch and stay all day. If you can get close to a uxo zone don't walk to far into the woods. That is defeating the purpose of getting an area close to the closed area.
Walk in find a nice tree either climb or sit down, then after it is light look around and see if there is a better position to be in. I did this last year and killed a buck and a doe within 20 minutes of the move.

I have a blind that I can send along with jbdinos since he is from Madison. I have to work the weekend but would like to help. I also have a hang on and 20 ft stick ladder if you need them.
