Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

I am heading out to hunt in Wisconsin the week of Sept 22 and I hear that the bugs are horrbile, but you are supposed to get a real cold snap starting tonight. Just wondering if someone can give me an update if the bugs are gone???

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

The bugs arnt bad right now with this cold snap but I would bring a therma cell just incase we get some warm days. Where in the state are you going to hunt

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

I'm from Columbia County, and trust me the bugs have been bad there (I'm at school in Racine/Kenosha right now)as of late, I was darn near carried away this past weekend! This cold should help, but ditto on the thermacell (our walmart is sold out)

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

Well good luck hunting hope you see alot of deer while you out, and hope you have a head net to wear so the bugs don't bother you.

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin

I apologize, I don't know exactly where, as I am not from Wisconsin, but it is with Wisconsin Outdoor Adventures, http://www.huntandfishwisconsin.com and they live near Madison. Thanks for the info on the bugs. I hear it is supposed to be cool up there all week so hopefully that helps!

U W Parkside?

Yes they are crazy out here in Western Kenosha County.

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

Do you have property up here, or do you know some people? I know most all the land between Portage and the Dells is private.

And to answer FRALEY's question, I go to Carthage. And yes the mosquitos are getting bad down this area again too.

Quick ? If I may, You ever hunt the public right by 33 and the I94 the east side next to that gas station?

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

Madison is southcentral WI, and the bugs will be horrible there and mostanywhere else in southcentral WI right now too probably.

Ya actually I have, thatarea you're talking about and then on the other side of the interstate is called the Pine Island wildlife refuge.That whole area isjust crawling with deer, and there is a lot of land to hunt so it rocks for bow season. Gun season is generally a different story, too many people. Personally I like the section of Pine Island that is right off of Tritz Road. It's a bit of a forgotten spot and not to many people hunt any of it.

Grand parents are about 1 1/2 to the eastthe woods bordering 39 and 33.(Northeast corner)
I have not hunted that public in at least 15 years. My step dad missed a nice buck last year during gun. I really screwed up there when I use to smoke cigerettes I was lighting one up and a huge 10 point came right out in front of me.

Also hunt down Highway U ton of deer.

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

Cool. There is a lot of big deer in there, and with the amount of land out there its great for bowhunting. When gun season rolls around it's elbow to elbow out on the main part of Pine Insland (right off 33 just as you leave Portage). That's why I hunt a different part of itnow.

Stop in and see Unc Steve maybe he will let you hunt the farm.
Just tell him nephew Tony from the net you know or something.
Your college kid be creative lol j/k;)

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

Heck now that I think about it with the trailer there and nobody really using it much you can crash there also.

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

Being creative takes too much energy, but thank you for the offer. Speaking of college, I have an 8am class this morning, well every morning really butIgotta get out of here soon. :(

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

LMAO. I'll throw a party with my hockey teammates


(The popcorn is just becauseyou need to have nutrition to party all night long)

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

LOL, steve works night so you would be all set.
Just let me know what day so I can drive up I wouldnt miss this.

RE: Mosquitos in Wisconsin
 

Was just out east of Appleton near Holland, and OMG are those things hungry.I thought the cool temps would slow them down, but looks like we really need some early frost. Might have to get a thermacell before Saturday. Btw, good luck to all this season.
