WI Hunters!
Hey, I'm just sick of seeing the giant IN and MI hunters threads that just keep growing, so I decided to try to start one for us Wisconsin boys. Post anything related to the great outdoors of WI here!!!

RE: WI Hunters!
Not hunting, but has onyone been ice fishing?
|
RE: WI Hunters!
Going out this weekend on Camp Lake down in Kenosha county where I reside. Ive been hearingalot
of small pike being caught but should be a fun time. |
RE: WI Hunters!
I've been too busy with my new baby boy and getting things ready for Canada for the summer, so I haven't been out. I usually make one trip to my camp in the winter to jig for walleyes, but this year its probably not going to happen. I'm gonna miss pulling walleye after walleye out of 5 feet of water.

RE: WI Hunters!
I haven't done any Ice fishin for years. None of the lakes had been freezing over well enough to go out and fish on, and the ones that did freeze over weren't very productive. I may try to go out once or twice now though. I live in Racine for the school year and hear of plenty places that have some decent ice fishing. Does anyone know if the harbors are any good anymore? My dad told me storiesof goin and fishin the harbors during the winter and pulling out some monster pike and occasional salmon from the Racine Harbor and Kenosha Harbor.
Has anyone started any scouting yet. I plan to go home at the end of the month and do a couple scouting days. I have two areas I want to check out including the area where I got my buck this year. |
RE: WI Hunters!
Just because it has been posted a number of times lets just have a continuous discussion of it - CWD. What are your thoughts on the topic? Is it a Madison Treehugger scam? Any other ideas, thoughts?

RE: WI Hunters!
Driven by the insurance industry to cut down the herd.
|
RE: WI Hunters!
That's another real common one where I am from. Supposedly the Columbia-Sauk County area has the highest numbers in the state. Dont know for sure, but the insurance reason is popular because of that.
|
RE: WI Hunters!
Highest number of deer or cwd? I know Iowa and Dane have the highest of cwd. http://prodoasext.dnr.wi.gov/inter1/pk_cwd_cty_year$.startup
|
RE: WI Hunters!
The Columbia-Sauk area issupposed to have the highest number of deer, period. I'm sorry, I shouldve been a little more clear on that one.
|
RE: WI Hunters!
Ahhh I couldnt agree more. I hunt up at my grandmothers just outside of portage. I go down highway U and sheesh the deer numbers.
When gun season starts they seem to get pushed right over to her area. Problem is I havent hunted up there during gun season in a few years. |
RE: WI Hunters!
My bro was just up north and checked the cameras. We have new land are tryin to figure out the deer movement. Well we got a nice one on film...With his antlers yet.
Pines Oh ya....dont mind the date we set it and were in a rush....set the time not the date!!!! Oops  |
RE: WI Hunters!
Thats a good looking buck! He has some real potential. Where abouts is your land at?
|
RE: WI Hunters!
Bowler Wi, We hunted it the second week of Gun deer this year and my bro got a nice little 8 pointer.
Will be out in spring for turkeys!!!---With a new bow!!!! pines |
RE: WI Hunters!
Nice, condrads to your bro and good luck to you. I never did get into turkey hunting, which is crazy because the turkey pop. where I live is outrageous! A bunch of my friends hunt gobblers, including an old Scoutmaster of mine who has the grand slam I guess. Pretty cool stuff. I want to start applying for bear tags next year, and eventually try to take one with a bow. I have family in Solon Springs WI, just south of Superior, and they have great area for hunting bears.

RE: WI Hunters!
Ice fishing hopefully coming up this week. I just p/u a Tribute last week @ a new proshop I found. Got a great deal & great service. Talk about a kid in the candy shop.As for CWD, I just read they found a high # of them in the Northern Kettle Morraine Unit in Waukesha county & have had sharp shooters in there. Don't know where the highest CWD unit is, but I wish the DNR would talk to the game depts out west before they started down this HRZ stuff. Found out 1st that it doesn't work. Any thoughts?
Also, I posted a thread on the Deer/Turkey Expo, anyone going to that? |
RE: WI Hunters!
I may go to the expo. We'll have to see how much school work I got that weekend. Do you know when it opens up and how much it costs? I'm done playing hockey by then, thank god
 , so if my proffesors dont load me up with homework that weekend, I would love to go. |
RE: WI Hunters!
Another couple inches of snow and im going after some coon bait! The carp come up to open water by the thousands so im in and out in no time.I usually bring a youngster with me who has never done it so he gets to shoot em.That usually gets them hooked on bow hunting.
|
RE: WI Hunters!
Thats a good way to do it, I honestly never thought of that. The only time I see bowfisherman out is in the spring and once in a while in the summer. I've never tried that either, looks fun though, I may have to get into that once our boat is all finished up.
