Default RE: Wisconsin public hunting or outfitter

This state has lots of different habitats, all which produce trophy deer. Thepart of the state known as the "Driftless Area" probably has more trophy deer than others. It is an area that the glacier missed. It has ridges and deep valleys. The ridges are full of oaks and the ridge tops and valleys are farmed. If a buck is pressured he just needs to go over one more ridge until no one bothers him. However, folks are aware of this and finding public huntable land in this area is difficult.There is also CWD in this area. The northern forests are under hunted andcontain a smaller deer population. But the deer live a long time and get to be trophy size. There is a lot of public land.The central forests and swamps also have a lot of public land and a higher deer population, but are hunted more heavily. The state DNR has had an emphasis on shooting does lately. A lot of hunters are satified with a doe or two and go home.
That's my assessment. I'd invite any other cheesehead to add to it.
