Oh yes, very appreciative! The best part of it is my wife loves the place, too!

We are so looking forward to when we can live there, and not just be once a month visitors.

I am hoping my brother or son get one of the mature bucks this year.

I have owned this place 4 years and have yet to hunt it myself. I just can't get myself to pay hundreds of dollars for a license to hunt deer on my own land.

I don't think we have that many bucks that size in the square mile surrounding me!

[brownegg]

They don't allow those feeders here.....you can see why...makes it easy peasy...where is the hunt?

It is not legal to have feed in the feeders 10 days prior to or during the season.

And you can't kid me...I am from Wisconsin. Been hunting deer there since 1973.

I have had more that one hunt ruined when I found illegal piles of corn in the NF I was hunting! Had to vacate the area asap!

You want easy peasy...that's when the gun season falls at the end of the rut in MO. Purina deer chow has nothing on doe estrus for making a buck stupid!

Thanks. Those are some healthy deer, can't even see one rib. Late summer in the Ozarks can skinny up the deer until the acorns fall. Will have to try that Purina when I leave Alaska and move back to Missouri in a few years. (Ok, time to get back to caribou and moose.)

tarbe...you have to get farther off the road than that....get them coming from the bedding area first before the baiter does....anyhow...it's really a shame how folks claim to be hunters nowadays....bait and wait...like ten days changes the whole herd feeding activities....don't kid me either. I've been hunting longer than you.

How about the most remote part of northeastern Sawyer County?

You might be surprised how far back some of these guys will haul their corn!

In four years of hunting this land, no deer have been taken near a feeder. They are not used for hunting. These deer did not get to this point by being over-exposed.

well good luck, and keep us posted. would love to know how it turned out this season

[GREENCOUNTYPETE]

it is illegal to use any feeder that automatically distributes feed , mechanically or by gravity , basically any thing they consider automatic which is anything that doesn't require you out there any time you want to add bait , they we are limited to 2 gallons it can not be placed out before 00:00 hours September 1 and must be removed by the end of the last day of deer season


and this is only in the northern half of the state all counties in the south feeding is prohibited year round


you can have feed plots grown in place

but no bait

http://dnr.wi.gov/files/PDF/pubs/wm/WM0431.pdf they changed a lot of things this year the hole zone structure is different we now have 4 zones and some metro , instead of more than 81

by the way yesterday started sales of doe tags for north
today is central , tomorrow is south and Thursday is all remaining

This got me to wondering....how is the deer herd in the old CWD hot zone?

Didn't they try to kill every deer possible in the Mt Horeb area? Back to normal now?
