RE: Let's see those Wisconsin bucks.
Both those bucks were shot in Vernon County, WI. This past season was the 4th year for our lease. I lease the property with one other person and throughout the years it seems to slowly be getting better, although the pressure around our lease property is getting higher...not because people know about are bucks, just has been happening.
I live in the center of MI's Upper Peninsula and although we can get bucks this big in the area, the deer herd is much smaller, the antlers grow a little slower, and the buck age structure is very poor with a mix of about 70-80% public land. I'd say it's harder to shoot a 2.5 year old up here, than a 3.5, maybe even a 4.5 year old down where our lease is.
Looking forward to taking care of our stands and shed hunting in the next few weeks.
