3 years ago passed up on over 30 at bow range,,,,,,,,,,only went out 11 times last year.......still got a big buck
here is the deer with its tag...........we had to go through a stream .I was afraid of loosing the tag....it was tagged as soon as we got through the 14" of fast moving water

I gun hunt WMU 49 and bowhunt WMU 80. No changes for either of them. I know a lot of guys saw less deer in 49 last fall but in our area we had higher than average sightings. All but one were does and we had no doe tags. We'll try again this year and hope for at least one tag.
Just a reminder of rule 4(b) when it comes to posting photos:
Quote:
4(b). We love to see your photos, but these guidelines must be followed. Members posting photos of their success in the field or on the water, please note:
* You represent ALL hunters/anglers with material you post on this public forum.
* Post ONLY photos of tagged big game if the tag would normally be visible.
* Exclude “celebration" drinks from photos.
* Tastefully display your harvest (no excessive gore).
* Do not post photos of fish caught in catch and release-only seasons.
I have not seen as many fawns this year as in the past. Usually 4 or 5 seen in the spring and not one this year.

hunting a different area this year and the tags are up from last year.....good sign!!
I applied for 46, odds aren't very good to get a tag this year. Kind of regretting not applying for 74b. I promised a friend I would go to his camp in 46. The family camp in 74b would have almost been a sure thing for a tag.
