One more here that agrees with how the WDNR is handling the deer herd. As a poster has said, I've been hunting in WI since 12 and I'm 26 now. I've seen a difference, negatively too. For us normal people, who have to hunt on public land, there simply is NO deer. I don't think that the deer are stupid enough to hang around once they figure that "its that time of the year again," and move to hunting refugees or to private land that is never hunted. Sure, I can see a herd of deer in a field, but thats only 1 field in a while. Used to be that I would see a few deer in a lot of fields, not just one field.

I've hunted on county land in Clark county for the last 7 or 8 years, and I've noticed that the deer herd has gone down year after year. This year, while bow hunting there, I've noticed something I've never seen before - WOLF tracks. There were a lot of wolf dropings with LOTS of deer hair in it. If the WDNR has re-introduced the wolfs, I'd just like them to be honest and say so.
