Posted on: September 30th, 20092009 Badlands Deer Hunt
Author: Jake Oravetz
Sept. 3rd found some of us at Back 40 heading west on I-94 with dreams of chasing some bucks in the Badlands. After the 10 hour drive from my house, and the 12-14 hour drive for my counterparts in Central WI, we were ready to get out of the trucks and do some hunting.
On opening day, hunting doesn’t actually begin until 12:00 pm, so we had time to get our gear sorted out and be out glassing soon after sun up. Jerod and I headed north as Kevin, Ryan and Matt, (AKA Anthrax) all headed south. We soon had deer in the glass, but nothing we pinned our hopes on.
