I haven't been to Ws. for about 4 years now BUT from 1958 on I have no idea how much time I've spent Bowhunting up there. I prefer the areas close to & all along the Mi. border. Did lots around Boulder Jct., Eagle river, Hayward N & then Black River Falls, Necedah areas in middle with little in the S. part of the state. Always had a great time. Lots of National Forests & Lumber Co. land + some state forests. A little research can give you an idea of pressured areas. S. Ill. is about the best when it comes to Public but if you look at their listings of public land you might concentrate on the BOWHUNTING ONLY areas.. BIG area doesn't always mean it's the best bowhunting. Good Luck.
