Bucky's No Longer Bucking...

Hunting is 'big' business here in Wisconsin. In fact, this year we were approached by more folks than usual to come back the End of the Rainbow Valley to hunt, some even offered 'big' money. Most of the time we say "No," exceptions are our neighbors. 

The reality of the 'Wild' is herds do need to be thinned. We don't just see one or two deer, we see herds. Well, there is one less buck for sure in the Valley. You know you've seen a certain deer too often if you have been able to name him. Such was the case of a buck Natureman named 'Bucky' whose rack was pretty impressive.

Dan'll definitely be returning to the Valley

Bucky will no longer be darting across our mile drive. I knew it was just a matter of time before metal hit flesh. Yes, Bucky did have an accident but his demise wasn't from me going 25 mph. It was a bullet during this past opening weekend of deer hunting. A 9-pointer definitely isn't shabby for Dan's first trip to hunt in the Coulee with his buddy Patrick, our new neighbor.  


These guys's freezers will be full. Looks like a lot of venison stew and sausage. Sorry Bucky.

But there are still a lot of doe hiding out there. Deer beware and hey, all you hunters, please stay safe.
