RE: How was your opening Wisconsin gun hunt?
I read through some of the reports on the DNR website and most of them seemed to be from the middle of the day and claimed the lack of registration was due to the fact that it was cold enough people could afford to let their deer hand and stay in the field. yea right. an article i read today stated numbers were down 22%, thats a significant amount, and where i hunt ( northern part of unit 42) it was -2 degrees out at 5:30 saturday morning, and some people arent prepared to sit in that weather. I put in about 17 hrs on the stand and walking the woods this past weekend and saw 0 deer, as did 6 of the other 7 guys in my camp, one guy was lucky to see 2 deer and he got even luckier and dropped one while it was running. I hope the action picks up later in the week or numbers are gonna be incredibly low throughout the state. good luck to the rest of you and don't get discouraged. hunt safely.
