Is there alot of hunting pressure around you?
If I walk off the back of my property into the Chequamegon I'd probably not run into anyone for many miles. No there is not a lot of hunting pressure. There are groups that make drives from time to time around here. I used to hunt with a group if guys but they all got married and settled down. So I mostly hunt my property only. That is why I do a lot of snow stalking in muzzleloader season. Find a track and start to walk it out. A GPS and compass is a must when you enter the forest.
The kicker is, leave my driveway and you're on a snowmobile or ATV trail (depending on season) and you can ride for miles and miles. But I only live about a mile from the boat landing on a class A muskie lake. The creek that runs through my property empties into that lake.
Its a ruff life, but I am doomed to my fate...
That's what you see when you leave the back end of the property... Chequamegon as far as the eye can see.
