RE: Stevens point, Wisconsin
Same as EAB said. Tons of public but you have to get way back in there to get where the big ones are. They live out in the swamps where nobody goes. I don't deer hunt here but I know a couple of guys that do. The one missed a 125-130inch ten on some public, arrow hit a branch. Also know a couple of guys who have seen a couple big bucks while they were out but no shots presented.I have gone shining for the heck of it too and we saw 3 or 4 shooter bucks/outside the ears/3 1/2 year old bucksthe one night all near public land. They are around but not in high numbers. To many people around here think if its got horns they need to put it in the dirt. Not enough big bucks or numbers of deer around here for me to spend alot of time hunting here thats why I go home every weekend to hunt. Same with ducks, there are some but not like they are back home and there is SO many hunters its not very fun at all. Great school though and I like it here. WCL
