Well im not sure what the hell is going on, but the DNR has something to do with it im sure. Ive been hunting solidly since opening day of bow season in Sept and have seen very few deer. Once in a while Ill see one or two but thats it. I have close to 300 acres of property to hunt all to myself this bow season since my brother and cousin arent able to bowhunt this year because they are working too damned much. Theres very little sign of any deer period. I was pretty much covered in them the last couple years all bow season long and was covered the first few weeks of bow season this year and all of a sudden they disapeared. Its like they left the property. Now granted, we do have cornfields on our property but the deer arent hitting the corn and they arent laying in it either, hell there are very few tracks in the mud. Im ready to quit hunting all together. Now the DNR says theres a deer behnd every tree so they are proposing an extra week of gun hunting next year. Complete BS! Since the DNR has opened all these new seasons and zones the deer herd in WI has dropped to the lowest its been. Mission accomplished! Ive also talked to close to 50 other hunters in other parts of the state that are saying the same thing. THERE ARE NO DEER! This just makes me sick. Hunting is supposed to be fun, but now its turned more into work than fun. The DNR have to get their heads out of eachothers @sses and get back to reality. Listen to the hunters that are out there every day busting butt to put food on the table. The bucks should be moving, the does should be coming into heat real soon, and I have yet to see any sign of any rut, other than hearing a couple bucks fight last night on neighboring property. I honestly dont think taking the corn off around our area will help. We have soybeans across the road from our property and havent seen a single deer in the beans for atleast 1 month or better. I know the low deer sightings isnt because of too much preasure because there is none on our property. Im the only one hunting. I have 6 stands and have hunted 5 of them all season and seen very very very few deer. Now someone tell me whats going on. All my stands are strategically placed in areas where the deer movement has always been the greatest, and NOTHING!! Im blaming this on the DNR! if this continues I will not be buying another license until things change. I will lock up our property so damned tight a damend helicopter wouldnt be able to land on it. Ok im done now.....thanks for letting me bitch and complain...
