seems to be flip of a coin...got friends hunting all over and had no luck. i'd almost say that Elkorn would be a better choice...talked to my mom and she said theres gun shots all around our house in Muskego/Wind Lake area and its mostly farm fields

there are no deer out there. this is a prime example of the dnr's gross mismanagement and the greed of hunters. i will not be shooting any does for the next 2-3 years. ive passed on 3 does during bow season and one during gun. if the dnr doesnt want to manage the heard properly then the hunters need to take things into there own hands
x2 on dnr screwing up

I've lost count of how many I've seen at night, from Delevan to Milw, up west of Fondulac and back the roads are scary to drive at night, we just need to change our hunting hours to match Racoon hunting.
I just talked to the boys up on Puckaway, fields are full from 8pm till 3am but they havent seen a thing in daylight the entire week
I'll get out sunday, gonna slow stalk some woods and try pushing them slowly.

Nothing today, done till the late season gun. Not going to waste the gas going tomorrow. Nothing on the trail cam but coyote,squirrels and coons for the last week.
Thank god we have earn a buck so I could miss out on shooting a deer (could've had a 10 and 12 pt last year) last year too.
Nice going DNR

Hunted all week up on our 80 in Ladysmith. My dad shot a very nice 10 pointer opening day at 9:15am, it was trailing a doe. A few other scrub bucks seen, but nothing else really worth shooting. We have trail cams up near all of our stands, and it is depressing as there are AT least 3 other shooter bucks on the property, but they don't move unless it's dark. Lots of pics of them between 7pm and 4am, lol. Trail cams are a blessing and a curse, it's a blessing to at least know there are deer, a curse because you know that they are nocturnal. And it's not like we are pushing them either, we go to our stands, and get off them, other than that we aren't in the woods at all, I mean there's no reason for them to be going nocturnal, it's frustrating to say the least!!!
Unless you have some private land in SE WI. where you can feed the deer....you're pretty much screwed around here. Public land gets more packed every year...and nobody ever seems to drag anything worthwhile out. All the deer seem to hide out on all the farming land that nobody hunts....or the owners drive the shit out of them and get them all on the first day.

ive been watching the trail cams out at my moms land and trust me all the big deer are moving at night. funny thing is that i dont see many does.
We've seen plenty of does but because we are in a buck only zone we can't shoot 'em. We've been doin 3-4 drives a day on both public and private land and we've gotten skunked. One guy got a doe in a different zone opening morning but that's it. Over 20 people at my camp too. 1hr NW of wausau.

i was up in the tomahawk area opening weekend till wed. i saw a doe right away opening morning and nothing else all week. wish we could hunt at night. i know the feeling of lookin at your trail cam and seeing all the deer movement at night. its a shame how the dnr has managed the population
I'm sitting in the stand now and have yet to see a deer. I sat for 5 days all day and not one deer. Numbers up here in clam lake are down 50 percent from last year

Put myself deep in a wooded/marsh area 120 yards off Puckaway lake, 300+ yards inland was cornfields, motionless from 3pm without seeing anything but Bald Eagles and a muscrat during daylight.
I sat in the treestand well after legal hunting just too watch and listen, marsh and creeks sounded like a cow stampede after dark, 50mm objective picked up several does coming out of wetlands and moving swiftly into the food plots after the hunters all went in for the night, think the deer are just getting smarter by me.

Was up near Black River Falls area and didn't get nothing. THe people I was with got squat also after 5 days. This year sucks
The deer are getting smarter, all the dumb ones get shot. There are hundreds of deer by me. On any given evening I can see 3-4 groups of 5-20 deer. It's weird, makes me glad they don't have thumbs. There's this common area in the middle of the subdivision that is heavily wooded and a pain to walk through due to lots of sharp things (last time I went in a week ago I got several cuts on my face) that is all tore up from way too many deer in too small of a place (about five acres).
