Hi everyone!
My fiancee moved to the U.S. last year and we're looking forward to hunt during the upcoming gun season in WI. Both of us have long year experience of hunting in germany - mainly wild boar, red deer and roe deer in the central region of Germany. No experience so far with white tails and in general with hunting in the U.S..
I have been studying white tail literature during the last months but still some questions remain which I hope somebody can help me with. I would rather avoid the heavily hunted areas for now and choose a quieter region. Looking at the map material from de WDNR I understand that the central-eastern WI region has the highest buck harvest and therefore I would conclude that it is the region with the highest hunting activity. Also I found out that many outfitters seem to be in the eastern-central area since there are supposed to be the "biggest" bucks in that area (e.g. Buffalo, Trempealeau, Jackson)? Our main goal is not harvesting a monster buck, but to spend some nice days outdoors in WI, hopefully seeing lots of deer and harvesting some - whether buck or doe doesn't matter. Is there any region that could meet these criteria? I'm thankful for any tips in advance, greetings from Germany!
