Im not quite sure of Antigo exactly, but i drive through it on the way to our property about 15 miles north (Elcho). Antigo looks like alot of farmland, and i would say go for it. My uncle works for the state and they get tons of deer in their food plots. As for the deer numbers, I think the DNR needs to split up unit 42. Antigo is all flat farmland and north of there is wooded hilly country. 2 completely different habitats and deer #'s IMO. My hunting party (about 9 guys) has had on and off success in the years i have been hunting (5). One year we had 9 deer off of our property and even the smaller deer were big. This year we shot 3 does and only saw about 15 total. here are a few deer cam pics from this year. Good Luck w/ whatever you decide.
