RE: wisconsin hunters?
I hunt in Richland county and we shot 6 deer (4 doe, 2 buck) with bow in the first 8 days of the season. My son was heading off to the Navy so we hunted hard as that was all the time he would get this year. In late October I saw 23 doe and fawns walking into a corn field on just one small part of our property. My step son saw 8 or 9 doe that night so that is over 30 deer in just 2 small spots. I do think the deer are out there but I think they are very heavy in some areas and very few in others. We have too many does because most of the neighbors will not shoot any. Our bucks generally are small but once in a while a bigger one will be around. I think there needs to be a better way to count the numbers but I don't know what that would be. I also believe the wolves being brought in has really causeda lot of problems for you northern hunters.[:'(] I don't think I will ever understand why they did that.
