I used to guide whitetails on public land in S.E. Wisconsin, not any more though because I am getting into making hunting videos and pro-staffing a new hunting TV show. As a matter of fact, our 1st video is going to be about killing trophy bucks on public land and was filmed in S.E. Wisconsin. I think when hunters see the video clips of the Booners we are on to, it will open some eyes. I see worse pressure on the private land around here than the public in most cases. Unfortunatly the editing won't be done on that video for about 1 1/2 months.
I would concentrate on cattail marsh's, and swamps. Those areas hold some great deer that make it to older age because of the diffaculty in gun hunters driving these areas and killing all the bucks before they can reachprime antlerage statis.
If you email me or send me a PM I would be glad to point out some awesome areas.
