Ridiculous! 9 guys hunting the Nicolet National Forest opening weekend around the Kentuck Lake area in Vilas County saw, count 'em, 3 deer. One small doe (passed), 1 small spike(passed) and one fork(missed). My son and I went back up for second weekend and each saw a buck in very heavy cover that just didn't present a kill shot. So let's add this up. 9 guys hunting 2 days plus 2 guys hunting 3 days make 24 man days in the woods and we saw 1 doe in an area the DNR is warning will be earn-a-buck next season! What a joke! (Thank god for the big six in the freezer from early bow season). Interesting to note the registration totals for this area (Vilas County) were down some 25% from last year and that locals complained it was the worst season in memory....
