If you remember last Wednesday 10/26 most of WI got hit hard with rain all day. I was wishing that I had off the following day for a full sit but my vacation day started on Friday. I really believe this time of year you get a day with bad weather with hard rain & winds it can make for some good hunting the next day. I went out Thursday afternoon & it didn't disappoint my theory that the bucks would be moving. Shortly after getting in stand I had grunting and buck movement from 3:00 - 3:30. I had two different bucks the size I shot on Friday at 20 yards. At last light the wind switched from NW & now was coming from the south :doh: . Well I heard a grunt & was looking behind me when I turned around and had a big boy staring in my direction at 24yds. If I would of been facing that way I would of had a shot, he was big :liar: no really it was a great buck. He stood for over a minute and then took two big jumps & stood for another couple of minutes then took off. Friday morning was calling for south wind & I had a perfect spot for my all day sit. I went in just before first light for my sit. I never had done this before weird feeling going in late on purpose. Lots of time I'm in stand and hour or more before shooting time. It didn't take long & I had different year & half old's out on the look. Several different times I could hear grunting but never could see anything. Finally a doe walked past bringing this buck with her. He was grunting on every step & putting a nice show on doing the nose down and bird dog trot. He stopped just over 20 some yards & I drilled him. He fell on the spot. I ended up grabbing another arrow to help the process along. I will post a picture of what the shot did to his shoulder. It looked like a gun shot wound it was crazy. As for the drag out it SUCKED. Two different times I fell forward getting waist high wet, all the rain has every marsh holding more water. I ended up buying a different deer cart this year & well in water & humps it just sank down. It was hard to drag when your feet get stuck in the muck and the water is so high. Once I got it to the Inland then not much issues at all. I really find out how out of shape I am in when dragging out deer.

I tell you what it works.... It helped me out on dry ground. I might try off season with getting it hooked up with shoulder straps - then it will be cat's meow. Also if you want to try it out you can use it if you help me with the next one :lol: :dance: :clap: For real if you want to try it PM me, I just need it back before gun season.
