RE: What happend to wisconsin???
i grew up in wisconsin and live in illinois now, but, go back for the gun season every year to hunt with my old man. i sat in my stand from dark to dark saturday through friday and saw one deer (a spike buck) twice on tuesday. that was it. i did however have four coyotes in range throughout the week. i missed twice, not happy about that at all. i've been hunting this area since i could carry a gun and i've never had such a slow year.

I had a great season this year! Seen TONS of deer and killed 2 with my bow, missed a buck of a lifetime as well, I couldn't pull myself together and take my time.[:'(] Over all I had a great season and more to come! All I need is my late season Christmas Eve deer and I'll have a winner!!!!!!!!!!

I get a kick out of it when people say there are no deer in WI, the DNR is wrong, EAB is bad....etc. The fact is, there are a TON of deer in WI...too many actually. Sure there may be pockets where the numbers are lower, but not overall.
As far as complaining about EAB...I thinks its GREAT. If hunters would have shot more does and less small bucks in the past, we wouldn't have this problem.
Here's another question for you.....does seeing MORE deer make for a quality hunt, in your eyes?

Actually, there are at least 3 times as many deer today in Wis, as there were when I first started hunting them. I guess that's the key word....hunting.
They're there, you just got to find them!!
