RE: Huntin near Antio Wi
Im not quite sure of Antigo exactly, but i drive through it on the way to our property about 15 miles north (Elcho). Antigo looks like alot of farmland, and i would say go for it. My uncle works for the state and they get tons of deer in their food plots. As for the deer numbers, I think the DNR needs to split up unit 42. Antigo is all flat farmland and north of there is wooded hilly country. 2 completely different habitats and deer #'s IMO. My hunting party (about 9 guys) has had on and off success in the years i have been hunting (5). One year we had 9 deer off of our property and even the smaller deer were big. This year we shot 3 does and only saw about 15 total. here are a few deer cam pics from this year. Good Luck w/ whatever you decide.

RE: Hunting near Antigo Wi
I hunted in Antigo this year and we did NOT see any bucks. My soon to be brother in law and I hunted on his 80 acre property and we saw lots of tracks and he bagged a decent sized doe on opening weekend and I bagged a doe on Thanksgiving day but that was it... There are deer out there, but it seems like a lot of doe and fawn. Maybe all the bucks were taken in the bow season???

RE: Hunting near Antigo Wi
So the land is a little ways away from Antigo.....its just outside of Bowler. I figured not to many know of the small town so i asked antigo.
I called the neighboring land owners last night and they said they all said they were skunked. The land is right on Highway d.....the new one they just redid and took part of the property in the front. So ya think it was just all the work done right there or was would the deer population be bad in the area?
The land is kinda thick with the Hemlock so there is work to be done and there is a couple of farm fields on the rear of the property. So there will be some clearin in the woods done and i think maybe some food plots. Idk though cause we have never done the private land thing so its all so new!! but also exciting.
Any help or ideas?
Thanks a ton!

RE: Hunting near Antigo Wi
I hunt just east of Antigo near Elton off of highway 64. Some years great hunting some years tough
hunting. We hunt the timber company and county land. We have some pics on fraleybigwoods.com.
As for deer numbers they are not great especially since the T Zone seasons off and on.
Good Luck

The land is right at the intersection of highway D and Bierman Rd. We are on the west side of D.
Grandpa put in an offer and we are just waiting for it to be accepted!!
Kind of exciting.

A friend we rent a house from is right up to the reservation on the north side in langlade county. We cant hunt
the property we rent the house but there is sure some big bucks around. Up that way a lot of baiting goes on
and hunters have those small looking house on stilts they hunt from.
