Question for you Wisconsin guys
This fall I would like to bowhunt Wisconsin. I have always loved the big woods setting and just about everything else about the badger state. I actually bowhunted up there several years ago in the Chequamegon National Forest near Park Falls. I would really like to hunt Wisconsin again this fall and wondered if any of you guys could steer me to a good area. It will be on my own so I have to go to public property. Obviously I don't want to go to a place with big crowds and would like a place with good deer densitys. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Blessings......Pastorjim

I would defenetely check out the tiffany wild life area in buffalo county. I gun hunt there and know there is allot of deer and some big bucks. You can find it on the WI DNR website. There are thousands of acres and its all river bottoms so it can get wet and thick in areas but I tell you what its great whitetail hunting.

Hi Pastor Jim,
I do most of my hunting in Sothern Wisconsin, but do travel to the Northwoods occasionally... I have some friends who do quite well in Superior area. One guy I know has taken two deer that gross over 200 inches in that area. As I am sure your aware though, the population has been brought down in rexcent years making the hunt a little harder. If your goal is killing a big buck, I would abandon the bigwoods idea and concentrate on S.C. Wisc. public land... If its solitude and the thrill of the chase, the big woods should give you an excellent hunt.
