I have had 10 sits so far. One smelled something when it got colder and the thermals switched, and annother I bumped leaving at night. No actual official sightings. Slow public land hunting this year. So far I have been walking in until I find the sign in and setting up on it. That is what is so great about the saddle is I didn't can be really mobile. I am hunting Barron County Wisconsin.
I’m in Sauk Co. Public has been slow here too but then again so has the farm. I finally saw one rub and a scrape this morning so hopefully it’ll be heating up soon. We usually have late buck sign where I hunt. Usually right before the bulk of pre rut activity gets going. They’ve all been ghosts though. I know there’s some big deer around because I saw them last year and the year before and am nearly positive they weren’t taken but all I’ve seen is evidence of deer. No actual bodies. Not even a roaming doe or fawn. It has me truly perplexed. Normally a bad sit is still seeing a deer or two by me.
If can go wrong it has so far.
