Saturday's the day thousands of us deer hunters have been waiting for and preparing for the past few weeks and even months. Opening day is magical, and with every early-morning shot, our pulses increase and we glance through the trees, waiting for that flash of brown and white.
State biologists tell us there are 1.8 million deer running through the forests, woodlots and swamps of Wisconsin, but we only want a crack at one. Maybe it will be the biggest buck of our life, or maybe just a fat doe for the freezer, but it will be special.
