RE: So how many Wisconsin EAB units in '09?
I BEG TO DIFFER WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL THE SPOILED HUNTERS WANT IS TO SEE DEER!
Every area in this state is different. You can even say every wood lot could be different. If all hunters would or could go out and look at your area you would see a big difference from farm to farm. We can't say generally that because you saw deer that, that is the case every where. I have a farm and I know what animals are there and the pheasants are on a rebound here but in other places that may not be the case. There are a lot of factors that determine if a certain species survives or fails.
FOR THIS REASON THE DNR IS FAILING ON THE DEER COUNT! They should let the land owners as well as the DNR do the counts. Then you would have a better idea as to what you have.
