Default RE: What Makes for a Great Bowhuntng state for mature bucks

Wis has:
1. 9 day gun season starting the sat. b/4 thanksgiving
2. 1 buck bow 1 buck rifle. no restrictions
3. IMO high hunter numbers.
4. in most areas lots of feed.
5. baiting. supposed to be limited to 2 gallons/ day lol.
There are a lot of diff. rules in some areas esp. southern Wis with the cwd zone (cronic wasting disease). And earn a buck in some areas.

What would be good for BOW trophy hunting:

1. No gun hunting
2. antler restrictions. If nothing else have a rotating restriction. like every other year or designated trophy areas only.
3. low hunter #'s
4. no baiting
5. a buck to doe ratio thats in balance. (wow, what a rut that would be!)
