mag1 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 For all you Wisconsin late season Bow hunters. I'm just trying to get some other opions. When does the 2nd rut pic up? I figure it should be around the 2nd week of dec. right in the middle of the 2nd T-zone hunt. I only have one more chance on getting out, and was wondering what most of you guys would think about the Dec. 3rd? It's only 1 week after the gun hunt, would the bucks be back into a normal, somewhat daylight routine? I'm hunting public, but it is hard to get into (swamp) I'm not sure as to how hard it was hunted during the gun season, but I do know of at least 2 nice bucks in it. this would be in Waushara county. Thanks for any thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Wisconsin late season - 2nd rut ? This will be the first time I bowhunt the late season. Not too sure about a 2nd rut. But, I would try to wait two weeks after gun season. Muzzleloaders are in right now, so they are still pretty pressured. Just my opinion.

Guest GreggB Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Wisconsin late season - 2nd rut ? I live around Wauau and based on rut activity here, I figured Dec 3rd - 10th would be good for 2nd season rut activity. Plus its the new moon this coming weekend so late afternoon hunting should be good. I've always found a week after rifle season closes is really good. The deer have a week to settle down without being shot at and movement increases substantially. Last year I shot a big 9pt a week after rifle season closed.

ladydiehard Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Wisconsin late season - 2nd rut ? This is good to hear. Except I'm not picking the bow back up just yet. I'm gonna take out the ole smoke pole this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Re: Wisconsin late season - 2nd rut ? with the ML season on right now..the bucks are still very cautious..they wont move until mid Dec. it takes at least two weeks for them to start to calm down. Either that or snow and cold/ second rut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
