I mostly hunt in Northern Wis. I have a place at the end of dirt road. I cross the riverand by then I'm 1/4 mi. from a road. I only hunt public land. I sometimes go in another half mi. or so. I have never seen a bow hunter there in 23 years. I've seen maybe 10 during gun season. I average a few deer sightings per year for gun and same for bow. Also, I have found only 3 deer stands in the 200 acre area I hunt and have been abandoned for 20 years already. I really preffer hunting near the river though, especially when bear hunting.
