wi_buckstomper Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I hunt in south west Wisconsin and was just wondering what kinda action everyone was having? Its been slow so far here. Bucks are just starting to think about it. Edited October 24, 2011 by wi_buckstomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cray8705 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 In south central Wi I shot a 6 point yesterday morning, he came in chasing 3 does so I think it has started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 It's just starting to heat up in south central Wisconsin. The little guys have the doe all on edge and heading for the smaller feeding areas that don't get checked by the bucks as often. I heard a couple bigger bucks sparring a couple nights ago but, they aren't on their feet real early in the evening yet. That said, a buddy of mine whacked a monster last night at 5:15 pm (mainframe 10 with 8 measurable stickers) and passed a nice 10 before this one walked in. Get close to the bedding areas and you may get a chance at a bruiser. This week with the cooler weather may get things moving a bit earlier. Good Luck!

Ravin R10 man Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) PRE RUT at best....just starting to see a couple bucks on camera that have not been around.. we are at least a week away from any "chasing"..small bucks are aggressive, but big bucks are just starting to be seen at last light Does are NOT even thinking about it Edited October 24, 2011 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have seen most little bucks trying to check the does but they want nothing to do with them. They are grunting and trying to chase. I have heard and seen some 2 1/2 and 3 1/2s sparing pretty hard too. The time to call him in and kill him is pretty much on us as long as the weather stays cool. The decoy is ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I would agree with Martin. It's Pre-pre Rut. If the temps get cool this week, then next weekend and the following week should be some pretty good action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 A few scrapes showing up, bucks are on their feet but still late at night according to pics. Neighbor saw a huge buck following four does come off our property last week. He chased the does but never got close enough for a shot. If temps stay cool, 2.5/3 weeks should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wi_buckstomper Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Since I posted this, I have had several people tell me in the area I hunt that they have seen large (160+) bucks checking does. Not any full on chasing or anything but they seem to be starting. Does will have nothing of it. Weather.com says cold front comming in this wed. Hopefully this kickstarts things a bit.

natethebowhunter Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 went shining around the area tonight, saw a lot of bucks on their feet, few young buck were pushing does in fields, did see a 160+ buck but he was not with a doe, just cruising, plan to go hunting in the morning and see if anythings heating up in the timber yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wi_buckstomper Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Stuff is starting to rock fellas. Out this morning and three different bucks being very vocal and chasing. Saw another nice buck chasing a doe hard while glassing after I got out of my morning stand around 1030. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
