Hunting time is severely limited. I can only do so in our state's youth hunting weekend and regular gun deer, and I can only do that 3 days at most. My dad's friend has been hunting up there for years and put us on spots that have produced deer every year. Another problem is that Wisconsin deer like to hole up in thick forests, and carrying that double seater 16 foot ladder stand isn't easy even in the best of terrains, so I can't get to those areas.
Pick up a bow and extend your season
I've thought about it, but I went to our local Gander Mtn. and was talking about basic equipment with a guy and he said that just
the bare minimum would cost about $800, which is too expensive for my tastes. I would have to buy a new stand, because my ladder stand isn't the kind where you take it in in the morning and remove it before it gets dark.
No, you can get a decent setup for $400-$500, you could even spend less if you wanted to. Go over to AT(archery talk) and look in the classifieds. You can find good,older bows that are around $300-$350 or less.
